MILWAUKEE — The U.S. Post Office is now hiring tractor-trailer drivers for the Milwaukee area.
The USPS announced in a release Tuesday that the drivers will earn $23.74 per hour plus benefits. That includes eligibility in the Federal Employees Retirement System, the Thrift Savings Plan and the Federal Employees Health Benefits program.
The jobs are based out of the Milwaukee Processing and Distribution Center at 345 W. St. Paul Ave.

“We’re looking for motivated applicants,” said Acting Milwaukee Postmaster Kellie Amundson in the statement. “These positions are career positions for people who are dedicated.”
Some other details on the jobs, per USPS (verbatim):
- Applicants must have a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) from the state in which they live.
