For goodness sake people just do the whole scan process at the point of placing the package to be safe.?

Ok...thanks...that helps...I don't agree with it or the ENTIRE study, lol....boy am I inconsistent...??

By inconsistent I mean I scan while I'm walking...its called efficiency ....just can't seem to break THAT habit?

Stride time is from parking spot to door for scan. Scan at vehicle = no strides taken, therefore no walking time.

Yea...but its All recorded and shows up on the mother ship...

Scan at the delivery point, finish scan as you're walking back!

I believe the scan should be completed at the delivery point in order to receive full credit.

Can someone tell me if I am doing this right . I want to figure out what being paid for every parcel will gain me.
At count I got robbed. 40 parcels. I estimate 30 smalls 10 larges. On a normal day I bet we get 60 total I'd go conservative and say still 12 larges. What math would I do to figure out my gains on smalls only? Would I say 20 extra or 30 extra on the calculator

Therein lies the disparity in rural routes. 12 large parcels! Our routes get over 100 large parcels the we have to schlep to the door. Pay us HOURLY! Please. No offense foxy, just pointing out the discrepancy in rural routes.

We are in the northeast...routes average about 30 miles, rural/suburban usually around 150' curb to door. Evaluation is basically a thing of the past. Last count 2018 Amazon conveniently vaporized, 2 weeks after count, reappeared. It's tough and we have a great pm.

The route I am gonna get is 80 miles (79.86 , lost .5 mile a day due to digitization bullsnit) . We got another route at 80 and another at 93 . It takes 5 hours on summer days. 5.5 to 6 in these ever changing internet times with online ordering and Christmas hell. I once had 32 dismounts , missed truck and told management flat out I wasnt sorry because I am paid for 10 to 12. As an RCA I was lucky I didnt have to run the stuff elsewhere .

How would hourly work? Would we get paid 8 no matter what or would we have to slug it out to get a full day pay? I beat eval usually by 20 to 30 minutes but rarely is it more then that .

Im going by what the city side does..so yes..we'd be paid 8hours. The routes that are expected to go over are chopped off and given to the carriers on routes that are projected to be under...hypothetically keeping every one at 8...
NOW, the city and clerk craft both have an overtime sign up sheet that gives you the ability to: work only 8, work up to 10 or up to 12....it also gives them the opportunity to work their drop( relief) day, holiday or Sunday...
Smh...ticks me off really..when we're slugging away over eval ALL year long now...no more ' off' season...WTH can we do..
Edit: maybe create an online petition for rurals to sign who want to go hourly and present it to the UNION?
Edit edit: ? I think we'd have to submit the request for hourly at a convention....
