	Mail carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mail carrier, post carrier, or postman (sometimes known as a mailman or letter carrier in North America and a "postie" in Australia and the UK) is an employee of the post office or postal service, who delivers mail and parcels (post) to residences and businesses.
		Carriers who walk generally also drive postal vehicles to their routes, park at a specified location, and carry one "loop" of mail, up one side of the street and back down the other side, until they are back to their vehicle.
		The term "mail carrier" came to be used as a gender-neutral substitute for "mailman" soon after women began performing the job.

		Although carriers are classified by their type of route—either city or rural—duties of city and rural carriers are similar.
		Mail carriers cover their routes on foot, by vehicle, or a combination of both.
		Carriers who begin work early in the morning are through by early afternoon and spend most of the day on their own, relatively free from direct supervision.

	Post Office Clerks and Mail Carrier Jobs
		Clerks are usually classified by the mail processing function they perform, whereas carriers are classified by their type of route; city or rural.
		Mail carriers start work at the post office early in the morning, where they spend a few hours arranging their mail for delivery and taking care of other details.
		A carrier's schedule has its advantages, however: Carriers who begin work early in the morning are through by early afternoon, and they spend most of the day on their own, relatively free from direct supervision.

	STATE v. BOONE.
		Riddick Boone was adjudged not guilty of carrying a concealed weapon on the facts set forth in a special verdict, and the state appeals.
		"A mail carrier is not a public officer, but is a private agent of the contractor for carrying the mail" (and in some cases the contractor himself).
		The defendant shows no authority from the federal government empowering him, as a mail carrier, to carry weapons; and we think the fact that he was a mail carrier affords no justification for the act in the absence of such authority.

		In a study of mail carriers in St. Louis, Beck found that nearly all of the bites were from dogs with owners -- not from strays.
		"So a mail carrier who visits the house regularly may be less likely to be bitten than is a total stranger who comes to the house just once," he says.
		Bites on carriers affect all of us, Beck says, noting that when the carrier is taken off the job, even for a day for medical care and paperwork, it increases the cost of delivering the mail.
