Truck drivers report 15 hour wait times at Ohio post offices

Truck drivers reported waiting more than half a day to pick up or deliver loads at Ohio post office locations overwhelmed by online holiday shopping and reportedly understaffed due to COVID-19.

The heavy delays for truck drivers were reported at post office locations in Akron and Cleveland, Ohio, over the weekend.

Dozens of trucks lined up outside the facilities, with drivers saying that they were forced to wait for as many as 15 hours.

One driver reported waiting at a Cleveland post office from 9 p.m. on Thursday until 4 p.m. on Friday to make a deliver, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
