Postal Service employment is conditional upon your meeting medical suitability, general eligibility and suitability, and
background check requirements. Therefore, if you receive a job offer, note that it will be conditional upon you meeting these
requirements, even if you are allowed to begin working first.
For this vacancy announcement, the Postal Service will be referring a set number of the highest-ranked eligible candidates
for selection consideration.
CDL REQUIRED: Applicants must have a valid commercial drivers license (CDL). If applicants have an intrastate CDL, they
must self-certify to their state that they operate or expect to operate in excepted interstate commerce, as required by 49 CFR
part 383.71(b)(1)(ii). Each state has its own procedure for completing the self-certification process, so applicants should
seek assistance from their Department of Motor Vehicles or their states equivalent, if they are unaware of how to do so.
Applicants must have a safe driving record, and at least two years of unsupervised experience driving passenger cars or
larger vehicles and one year of full-time unsupervised experience (or equivalent) driving a 7-ton or larger truck, tractor-trailer,
or a 16-passenger or larger bus. The driving must have taken place in the U.S. or its possessions or territories or in U.S.
military installations worldwide.
Further, applicants must inform the Postal Service of all previous employment as the driver of a commercial vehicle for the
past 10 years and complete a Driving Notification and Compliance Certificate. Applicants must be drug-free, which requires
o A pre-employment drug screen and
o Information from previous employers on the positive alcohol or drug tests and refusal to be tested within the prior two
years: this information is retrieved from the FMCSA Clearinghouse and requires applicant consent. If you are registered for
the Clearinghouse, the consent request notification will be sent via the method you selected as your preferred contact
method, either email or U.S. Mail. If you have not yet registered for the Clearinghouse, the consent request notification will be
sent as a letter via U.S. Mail to the address of record associated with your commercial drivers license (CDL). As the
completion of the pre-employment screenings is a time sensitive process, you should select the most expeditious means of
contact, ensuring all communications are received timely.
