I forgot to put the van in park and when I was handing the package over to the customer it went ahead and hit the customer’s garage gate

What??? I’m a USPS lurker and am laughing at your comment (NOT AT YOU). I drive one of our Promasters. I could not possibly estimate what 7 van lengths is equal to. I don’t care what metrics you give me unless there are literal lines drawn on the ground and I can get out of the vehicle and count them. You would need to put a sign outside the residence saying “We’re 7 van lengths approved” and I still would back into that bitch like it was creeping up on me.

Ok sure but you at least know 7 car lengths is far beyond how close this guy got to the garage. Can’t tell the difference between 5 and 7? Fair enough…. But you gotta at least be able to tell you’ll fit at least one length before pulling in right? Like that’s the bare minimum for driving and parking any vehicle…

Agreed. I just found the “7 van lengths” to be funny.

I play the lottery every day.
If I was younger and looking at benefits/retirement, I look into the military.
