SCARBOROUGH, ME 04074-7001
Job Title: MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR
Must be able to communicate in and understand the English language with or without a reasonable disability accommodation under the Rehabilitation Act.
Postal Service employment is conditional upon your meeting medical suitability, general eligibility, 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.
CDL REQUIRED: Applicants must have a valid commercial driver’s 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 state’s equivalent, if they are unaware of how to do so.
Applicants must have a safe driving record, 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., its possessions or territories, or in U.S. military installations worldwide.
Applicants must inform the Postal Service of all previous employment as a commercial vehicle driver for the past 10 years and complete a Driving Notification and Compliance Certificate. They must be drug-free, which requires:
* A pre-employment drug screen, and
* Information from previous employers on positive alcohol or drug tests and refusals to be tested within the prior two years. This information is retrieved from the FMCSA Clearinghouse and requires applicant consent. If registered for the Clearinghouse, consent requests will be sent via your preferred contact method, either email or U.S. Mail. If not registered, the consent request will be sent as a letter via U.S. Mail to your address associated with your CDL. Since pre-employment screenings are time-sensitive, select the most expeditious contact method to ensure timely receipt of communications.
