USPS DRIVER NEVER BRINGS PACKAGES

so I work for a guy who has a home office in his basement, we have a mailbox that is about twice the width of a standard mailbox up at the street and a LARGE (like 4'x2'x2') box outside the gate that we bought specifically to handle larger packages (which cost several hundred dollars) since we where informed USPS will NOT come through gates to deliver packages. We have had this setup for several years, we have informed the USPS personnel at the post office on several occasions and yet EVERY TIME we have a package that is shipped to us via USPS we get the tracking claiming there was an attempted delivery at like 7-7:30 AM (driver doesn't reach this point in their route till after lunch), basically the worthless employee running our route just never puts our packages in her car, we are a business, we pay for Amazon Prime specifically for the shipping options to get things here quickly, we cannot keep taking time out of our day (owner bills at like $95 an hour for his time and $55 for my time) to go get packages (30-40 minute round trip plus time waiting in line) because the worthless USPS employee refuses to do her damn job. What can be done to force this driver to do their job?

Nothing or maybe find someone higher to complain to like a gates Manger or what they are called. At least you can pick up your packages. Lately mine just say incomplete address for laziness and I can't pick them up

there is NO LOCK on the large box, all they have to do is pull into the driveway (outside of the gate) and get out of the car, the boxes being shipped would ALL have fit in the box we have installed, they are to big for a normal mailbox but small enough to easily fit in this box we have outside the gate.

Rural route, no question. The box is no more or less "secure" then the mail box, if anything it's more secure because we have a camera at the gate which records anytime someone pulls up where the mail box is up at the street level.

We TOLD THEM this box is there and it's for packages, UPS and FedEx routinely drop packages there if they are the normal driver that knows how to get through the gate.
