What's the deal ? Yes or No to the count
I think I am on vacation if we have one

thank youIf you’re talking about Spring then no. No contract, no count.
September is the only time the PO can call for a count until the RRECS System is ready to go. That’s not happening until ALL of the routes nationwide are “mapped” in the system & that hasn’t happened either.
Ok, we were told there is going to be a April 2019 Mail Count. It will probably be the last one we will have. It is designed around our engineering study on our scanners. we have been under the study for several years now. we are required to have a route inspection, while either the regular carrier delivers the mail while some one is in the office tied into the GPS and maps our routes. Does anyone have any information on this ? Or where it has been agreed upon by the USPS and the NRLCA

that is where my suspicions alarm goes offit can actually see us from satellite walking to the door etc
Sorry, it is not a count ,it is a test of the new system. Your routes won't be changed because of it until the implementation of the RRECS system, which will then happen for all routes, probably next year sometime.
Agreed. It's going to take quite some time to map every route, IF the RRECS test doesn't completely blow up in their faces first. There's also no way on earth I'm allowing my paycheck to be determined by how a sub runs the route for the GPS mapping phase. That is 100% my responsibility.Or the year after.... Union believes it will take well over a year to get every route mapped
Originally, it was the carrier, the ADR (or someone chosen by the DR) and a PM (not necessarily yours). That was taking too long. So now it's going to be your PM and you. And yes on the 2 weeks.I'm curious about the whole mapping "thing". How many people does it take to " map " a route? How computer literate do you have to be to map? Are there " mapping teams " that go around to various offices to do the mapping? Can it be done in house? With over 70,000 rural routes this seems, imho, to be a very time consuming task. I thought I read somewhere that to be successfully mapped you had to run the route the same way fo 2 weeks? Anyone care to enlighten me?
Not to mention large offices with more than 10 routes. Management will be stretched pretty thin. Same with apo, rmpo setups. I can't see this going well at all!Originally, it was the carrier, the ADR (or someone chosen by the DR) and a PM (not necessarily yours). That was taking too long.

This is going to be a nightmare, considering the general quality of PMs and the amount of carriers who have no idea what's coming their way (because they are willfully ignorant).
