What is Cash in Lieu of Benefits?

Cash in Lieu of Benefits is a USPS contract benefit. Drivers on USPS routes who decline RTS health insurance receive an additional $5.36/hr on the first 40 USPS hours per week — paid directly on top of base pay. If you're already covered through a spouse, the VA, or another source, this puts real money back in your pocket every week.

What We Expect on the USPS Routes (Routes 1, 2, and 3)

USPS contracts are built on one thing: consistency and on-time performance. USPS pays for the reliability of our trailers being where they need to be, when they need to be there. If you're the type of driver who takes pride in running a tight, predictable schedule, these routes are built for you.

We're looking for drivers who will:

• Run on schedule, every shift. Late arrivals impact USPS operations and the entire RTS contract.
• Communicate immediately with Operations or the Post Office if anything threatens the schedule — traffic, weather, mechanical, anything.
• Represent RTS professionally at every USPS facility. You are the face of the company.
• Follow USPS yard and safety rules — vest, closed-toe shoes, visible Postal ID, 5 MPH yard speed, spotters always have right of way, chock trailers, no idling.
• Protect chain of custody — never break a USPS seal, verify registry bags and seal numbers, lock and seal trailers before leaving.
• Check in with the Expeditor on Duty at every stop and follow load/unload procedures.

If running on time and doing things the right way is a point of pride for you, you'll fit in here.

What We Expect on the Dedicated Shuttle (Route 4)

This is a long-standing, year-round dedicated account. It has busy days and slow days — that's the nature of the work — but the pay stays consistent because we value the same thing the customer does: a reliable driver who shows up every day, handles the freight professionally, and keeps the account running smoothly. Consistency is what makes this seat one of the best local shuttle gigs in the city.
