There are a lot of Baptist in Northern Louisiana. They have dry Parishes up there. Parishes are the same as counties down here.
And he was rollin in his little postal truck.
Yes, they are uniform in shape so they are a lot easier to stack than a bunch of odd sized boxes. One guy I know who is retired from the post office now told me this one guy loved it. He made lead projectiles for bullets and he loved those IIFIS boxes. It cut way down on his shipping costs.
I assume NO still permits open containers?
Of course. I live just north of NOLA and we have an open container law but it is rarely enforced, especially during the parade season. If you act right the local LEOs don’t mess with you.
If only they’d been doing this for the past 4 decades.
Not true. I used to drive a postal vehicle and I had to periodically show that I had a valid driver’s license that wasn’t expired.
Rollin’ in and rollin’ out....right on to the ground ;-)
I remember a gas station in Louisiana that sold frozen margaritas. No open containers for them. They put a plastic lid on the cup, and then sealed it with scotch tape.
I saw a postal truck on my street last Sunday and wondered what was going on. Thanks for the information.
Damn. Drunk mailmen everywhere.
You betcha.
Incorrect. In order to drive ANY Federal, or Postal vehicle, the driver is REQUIRED to have in his/her possession a valid Standard Form 46, which is the driver's license.
How do I know this to be a fact? Simple. During the course of my military service, one of the duties I was responsible for was the issuance of those same Standard Form 46's.

33 years, 1 month, and 12 days, and I NEVER had a drink while I was delivering!
Hold muh mail.
My former FIL was a mailman and he used to say the PO demands the carriers work a set amount of hours, regardless of whether they need that much time to cover their route. He used to say he could easily have finished his route in half the time, but they weren’t allowed to go home when they were done. As a customer, I’d rather get my mail in the morning rather than wait til 3 or 4 pm just because the mailman has to stretch it out. Shows how much waste there is at the USPS and how they build in slack time.
Yeah, so do I. Usually the house number is correct (or close), though. Makes me think that there are a bunch of English-as-a-second-language people working as mail sorters. It's gotten progressively worse over the past ten years.
At least my important mail is usually handled by FedEx, USPS Priority or UPS and goes to my UPS Store box. Very few things come directly home.
I’ve had that box for years. It’s for Ebay, CC, magazines, and warranty stuff. The box is a great junk mail filter and cheap security.
They sign for my stuff, know me, and send alerts when anything with a tracking number shows up.
You are to be commended. I did not mean to imply that all mailmen drank on the job.
