Has anyone been checking radar numbers?

I thought I mentioned this somewhere, without an arrival scan at unit, any address barcode may not credit to system. Like tub flat scans, dps accountable, etc.
Wait, WHAT??? So if a clerk misses an acceptance scan on one (or more) of the thousands of parcels in the morning, that parcel will not get credited to the route when the carrier delivers it?? Are you kidding me?? So we get penalized for others mistakes??
 
So I’ve been keeping track of my numbers and today I thought I would compare them to what is on this radar sheet? So when I get back off my route I looked to see what was in my scanner under review entries and I had 189 scans. No certifieds today either.
On radar it had me with 141 packages total.That’s a big difference. So does anyone know where the almost 50 extra scans are coming from and if we’re going to get paid for the 189 or what radar says?
This to me is a major concern!
Not sure what this radar thing is, but does it only list packages scanned that morning? We get ups and DHL drop-offs for the next day that the clerks scan in the afternoon they come in. So maybe you delivered those scanned in the previous afternoon plus the morning's packages, hence the higher number, and the radar list is only showing what was scanned in that morning?

Not sure if that's what's going on and I've never heard of this radar thing, but that was my first thought after reading your post.
 
No, simply take it to clerks for aau
Uhhhhhh...how do we take it to clerk for aau scan if we dont even know it was or wasnt arrived at unit, and whom has the time to do this-go find a clerk after going thru 300 packages for a aau scan? The statement was that we DO NOT get credit for a scan delivered out on route IF it wasnt AAU scanned in morn...Sounds to me we dont get credit for others mistakes...every day we hear something new with all this RRECS chaos. And always that something NEW is never a benefit to the carrier...its a loss to them.

If you read his post " Like tub flat scans, dps accountable, etc"
So if you find a flat with a barcode in your tubs from the plant or a certified in your DPS. Not much you could do about a missed parcel.
 
HELP NOW I AM CONFUSED!

I have been taking my vacation hold parcels, business closed parcels and any scan I find in flats to the clerks to get an AAU scan in the morning (I try to do during load truck.) I do this because I like all my scans to show up under pkg look ahead.
In reading this thread would it be true if I forget to do this, then my pkgs won't count as a FULL delivery credit when I deliver them on my route?
FULL Delivery credit isn't just a credit scan at the door. It's the office credit for organizing that parcel, the parcel count # included in retrieving pumpkin(s)and then all the credit for door delivery. I might be forgetting something that a parcel adds to credit in office oh, number included in amt of small pkg trays and moving lrg parcels to cargo door.
What we do is scan it Out for Redelivery as we remove it from Hold or Business Closed this was a new function back on March 17 2020.

New Scan-Out for Redelivery​


We have been notified by USPS HQ that a new scan has been established for parcels that have been attempted and the customer has requested redelivery. At this time, this has been established as a carrier scan. When a customer requests redelivery of a parcel, the clerk is to pull the parcel and hand off to the carrier informing them of the redelivery request. Prior to loading, the carrier is to enter the "Out for Redelivery" scan of the parcel.
After meeting with USPS Labor Relations today, it was determined that, for now, rural carriers should record these additional scans (18 seconds each) in the comments section of the 4240 and will compensated for the scans accumulated via 8127 time. If a route is required to perform an inordinate number of these scans that might affect the evaluation, a grievance should be filed requesting a base-hour change to the route.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your District Representative.


 
OMGoodness!!!!

i have just been delivering them. because i have never been instructed to take them to the clerk.

how i hate these BASTIDS.
Our clerks end up on a naughty list if we deliver a package that wasn't scanned aau so the package still shows delivered and at what address. Our clerks have been instructed to put a red mark on every package scanned aau and if we receive one without a mark give it back. They have been doing this for a few years.

What about parcels that are brought back to office on Sundays & Holidays? I believe the procedure is they get scanned "business closed, No Access" by carriers & then placed at the routes case to be delivered the next business day. Should the clerks be scanning those parcels accepted the next business day? Or do we lose out on credit since the origin scan was from a Sunday/Holiday?

Marking with red sounds like a time waster to me, but whatever just don't hold me up from leaving when I'm ready to go! Oh and by the way how are you getting paid to hand packages back to clerks & where is that in the Contract.

This is what happens when procedures aren't followed just to protect office numbers. If the package was attempted on Sundays or Holidays it's a done deal, scan it as attempted leave customer a PS3849 and place in hold section. No needed to attempt again on the following day.

I dont think that would fly in my district. Besides, I dont mind delivering the parcels, mostly because I was under the impression that we get credit for ANYTHING we scan when we deliver it. Now it sounds like anything without an Acceptance Scan we don't get credit for? This can't be right, can it?

As anything RRECs, we don't know. Post 11 says "may". So not confirmed?
Next time it happens I'll use the USPS app to see if the clerks scanned the parcels AAU.
Or just ask the clerks what they do.

Hopefully @Gotrope will chime in with a clarification. I'm particularly interested in this because the clerks in my office do not enter unreadable bar codes, i.e. they will not key in anything manually, so none of those get an AAU.

So tell me if you bring a package out on a Wednesday do you bring it back place it back on your cart for redelivery again the next day? If the answer is no than why would you do it any other time? And if the answer is yes what is the limit for how many times you bring it back out to the route?

Oh man, I didn't even think about those too!! Good ol' UPS & the stickers on the barcodes!! Or the ones where somebody used a marker & blacked out a couple lines on the barcode!! Amazon with the blurry lines on the barcode! C'mon Gotrope, we. need. answers. Lol

I was speaking directly to Sunday/Holiday parcels that the RCAs/ARCs bring back. They are sorted and delivered from a different town. I don't think those get rescanned "Accepted" the following Monday or Tuesday in our office
 
FWIW, I did check my route's numbers on the RADAR report for three of the five days. For me, the AFSM100 mail was correct (off only two or three pieces) and the bundled flats were off dramatically in my favor (20-50 pieces each day). I only got NLM one day and that was WAAAAAY off--the report said I got 29 pieces and I had almost 300 pieces in two trays. One tray did not have a tag on it, but the other had a tag for a different town.

I understand your point but you don't understand mine, if you don't redeliver Monday through Saturday why would you make the exception occurrences for Sundays & Holidays.
