When you have a rural route, first of all you have to supply your own car. hopefully you have a bench in the front, and an automatic transmission. Most cars have bucket seats, so it will suck, because you have to drive from the passenger seat.
Very early in the morning, you have to sort your mail. You are supposed to get it into order of your route. You are provided a route, and the time allotment basically assumes zero mistakes and that there is no traffic or anything to cause a problem. To add to the merriment, you have occasional packages that must be put on the doorstep. It sounds very simple, but remember you're doing it of a morning, and no there's nowhere to piss or shit, and there's nothing to eat either, no you don't get any reasonable breaks, it's run by the Democrats, what did you expect?
