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?

I have a class b license. Being a mail carrier or a federal employee does not excuse anyone when they are not following the rules of the road. I drove in San Francisco as a mail carrier and people drive crazy. Gotta make sure that you pay attention to every corner, stop light. Dont know if its a car, a crazy pedestrian, or a cyclist that you will run into. Just slow down, your getting paid for it. Remember your being safe.
