Require The USPS to have a Blue Mail Collection Box at truck stops!
The Issue
Truck drivers spend weeks to months away from home. They have mail that needs to go out and sometimes the mail can't wait until a truck driver gets home. The only option truck drivers have available to them is what is available at truck stops.The USPS has either NEVER bothered to place a mail box or removed the box from the truck stops. I am lucky to find a truck stop with a mailbox to send post cards home, to pay a bill, or to send out a rebate form for a rebate that was offered at the truck stop.I have personally stopped at over 20 truck stops in the past month and not a single one of them had a USPS mailbox for me to send my daughters a postcard.I have been on the road for almost 6 months and it's one of the ways I stay in touch with my children. I know I am not alone with this.The USPS is governed by Congress and they must follow whatever is legislated upon them by congress. As such I have included the US Senate and the US House of Representatives in this petition as our congress are the only ones that can dictate policy to the USPS.
