We received a talk about Digitization. Scanners will be recording our route movements and delivery points over a, yet to be determined, six week period. Any thoughts?
Demonstrated Ability! It will determine our pay! Watch out runners and overevaluated routes. It's all about the scanner.We received a talk about Digitization. Scanners will be recording our route movements and delivery points over a, yet to be determined, six week period. Any thoughts?

Not a part of time study.Were you, or your office, part of the "time study"???
There was to be a "test" of the roughly 4200 routes that were in the "study"... having to do with RRECS implementation...
This test was on again, off again... not sure what the latest status is... surprise, surprise... we are suffering from a lack of any clear guidance from the NRLCA... but we did a LOT of clown party pix in their last glossy magazine...
I thought maybe all us rural carriers would get a post card or something telling us about this new system , after all it’s only going to determine our pay checks ! Seems surely my dues can pay for a post card at the very least . On the topic of clown party pics ... didn’t you get the stand up talk that we all are gonna be required to now where our clown suits ! Think there’s a function on the scanner now for that , hahahahahaha.Were you, or your office, part of the "time study"???

There was emphasis on line-of-travel as well as scanning at point of delivery, i.e. scan at box, scan at door. In the future, when I have more than 1 parcel per delivery, it will receive an individual scan for each piece. If multiple parcels are to be delivered to the door, I will deliver and scan each piece individuallly. Each parcel will be scanned and delivered individually. This should be legal because we have never been trained on use of scanner or protocol for scanning. I will demonstrate the ability to scan each parcel as delivered.Demonstrated Ability!

That's wild then... because I've not heard a peep about this... I also was NOT part of the study...Not a part of time study.
Speculation... or do you know something???May 1st is hard date for route inspections for our district. I am telling you there will be summer surprise.
Like you RD, DB, O & T, we have heard nothing. We are not part of the study and are an all rural office. If that even mattersNon-study here. Haven't heard anything, either.?
My office is all rurals... no city side... not sure if that makes any diff... probably not...Like you RD, DB, O & T, we have heard nothing. We are not part of the study and are an all rural office. If that even matters
Been doing this for 25 years and route inspections are supposed to be done yearly whether there is a count or not. Nothing new.Yes and yes. The hard date for route inspections has never happened in my short time when no count was scheduled.
Set line of travel should be interesting due to the detours required due to flooding and/or scheduled road construction on the route. As far as taking each parcel and scanning individually, I have been doing that for quite some time now as occasionally a customer will want to "help" me by removing said parcels from their front door before I return with the others. By doing each parcel individually as I set it down, I never have to request the customer bring the parcel back so I can scan it.There was emphasis on line-of-travel as well as scanning at point of delivery, i.e. scan at box, scan at door.

They are supposed to be done in the few weeks leading up to and during the mail count period which would be around March, IF we had a contract. That's why they are pushing for them to be done now.Around here they are usually late in the summer or early fall. The mandatory early completion is new. ?
