Work Discussion Cop pulled me over in mail truck🤔.

I was going over the speed limit in the mail truck doing my usual Amazon Sunday and the cops decided to pull me over.Now I’m not sure what the rules are on that but I figured I would post here and see if anyone else has experienced this as I have never been pulled over in the 4 years I’ve been with the post office.He gave me a warning and told me to slow down and I said I would.But is this a common thing and what is everyone else’s opinions or insights on this?

Normally, they leave us alone, even for parking violations.

Maybe you were really, really speeding?

I would just slow it down from now on, you ARE on the clock after all.

Yeah. There’s a park point on my route where the only place I can park reasonably close to the center of the particular set of loops is reserved for busses on their route in the city. I’ve not once had someone tell me to park elsewhere.

I park anywhere except disabled spots.

Same. Unless I’m just dropping off a package, I do stay out of those, and I’ll only park in them only if it can’t be avoided
