that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg
That’s a hard no. If you’re a city carrier, that’s a contract violation, if you’re forced to.
“My car is in the workshop, sorry”
City carriers don’t use their personal vehicle.
Tell them to buy a new one asap
New phone who dis? 
I wouldn’t respond.
If they asked me in person, I would say that I am not willing to risk the liabilities that come with carrying mail in my personal vehicle. Because they asked me to do it a week ago and that’s what I said.
Then the supervisor said that “some carriers are willing to do it” and I said I am not willing to take on the responsibility and liability that comes with carrying mail in my personal vehicle and that my insurance carrier would have a problem in the event that anything happened.
Not your problem district/upper/whoever is in charge of vehicles and making sure there’s enough for each carrier hasn’t done so, you’re not rural so they have to find you a vehicle. To expect a city carrier to use their own vehicle is ridiculous
2 days is plenty of time to get a spare from vmf. They’re out of their minds asking you that.
USPS is required to provide you anything you need to complete your job. USPS doesn’t pay for your phone, nor do they pay for you car. Nor is there anything in the contract requiring you to have a phone or a personal vehicle. (As far as city side is concerned)
Hell fucking no, OP, do not use your vehicle. If USPS didn’t want vehicles constantly being pulled for service and potentially leaving routes uncovered, then postal management should’ve considered that at any point since 1987, when the first LLVs rolled off the line.
If your PM wants to let you use their personal vehicle, get it in writing that you’ve received permission to do so, and make a copy to hand to your steward before you get in the vehicle.
Seriously, OP, this is so not your problem it’s not even funny.
No. If you get into a wreck, your insurance won’t cover it as you’ll have been using the vehicle for a commercial purpose and you’d also be liable for the value of the cargo as well. Ain’t worth it.
Why are they down vehicles nationwide??
My local management is bad, but I can’t imagine them ever trying half of the nonsense I read about on this sub…
Yep, but it’s a 38 gallon tank and I’m on empty
5k paid up front ,a letter of no liability , free lunch 90 days, and 20 hours of overtime per week for 10 weeks also.
My motorcycle can 't take parcels and I don’t have heated gear
I’d dig DEEP into my satchel of expletives for this one.
Absolutely, my hourly rate begins at $300 an hour, but because it’s you, $250 plus gas. There are a million ways to tell someone to Fu€k off without actually saying it. And who knows, you might end up with some extra green in your pocket. 
Not how I would respond (because I wouldn’t) but definitely my mindset:
They tried to pull this on our rural route when the only ones available were me and another clerk. We both said we won’t ever use our personal vehicles, and if they insist on us still delivering, they’ll have to pay us to walk the 22+ miles.
Fuck that
