Moving mail to back of truck?

I've never heard of this. And, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I thought I read in the RRECS guide that we are given x amount of time for reload based on the volume we have. This request would be additional to that time, so I would ask how you would be compensated for the additional work. 8127? Is it a regular occurrence that could be captured during mini count? If no additional pay, I'd have a talk with a steward and potentially file a grievance.

There is a requirement for moving all the mail behind the bulkhead when out of sight.
I’ll look for the documentation. Sounds like some idiot supervisor was looking for instructions on how to flush a toilet and stumbled upon it.

Or is trying to document/justify/create "work" for their job. Like the warning labels on dry cleaning bags, stickers on the ladder steps, etc.
We're going to end up like Britain where everyone that works outdoors wears day-glo jackets all the time. You'll be carrying wheel-chocks and orange parking triangles before you know it.

It's securing the mail. LLVs get windows smashed in when carriers are servicing an apartment, for example.
If its that bad, there should be a quick, devoted scan worth about 5 minutes to use just for this. Maybe even a "pin" on the RRECs map at complexes. Using Start Load/End Load all day would drive you nuts.
Still hard to wrap my head around Rural Routes in densely developed areas.

Just 'cause it doesn't happen to us doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Similar to when I see folks leave their car running while they go into the convenience store. Guess they don't believe it will happen to them or never been in the big city.

Here’s one for the can’t make this stuff up department.
Stupidvisor meets carrier on route. They climb in the back of the LLV and close the bulkhead door.
Not really at an authorized (dis)mount location.
While they’re in the back handling “packages” someone took a DPS tray of mail from the front of the vehicle and dumped it all over the cab area.
So, be safe. Put the mail in the back. Not the male in the back.

Personally, I want to see it in writing. I can work my 600 plus out the window deliveries basically out if the back of the truck to make them happy. Since I have to get every pkg & spr out of the back, then they can all go to the door. Load/reload 1tray of mail at a time to maximize security. Got it. Give them what they want!

Please show me where to hide the mail in my cherokee. We don't refer to the passenger area as a green house for nothing!

You're in the middle of nowhere. You're safe.
I load all my nbus in the back. In the front I have 4 trsys of dps, 2 trays of sprs, tub of flats and majority of parcels for my 600 del. I head out. Should I choose to stop and get a soda/sandwich or bathroom break I have to unload/reload all
that?
My truck is locked. If they want to rob me, me stopping and rearranging my truck in an insecure lot isn’t going to stop them.
Maybe black out our windows like our cars

I spoken to our DR who said huh? (,paraphrasing)
I agree with a prev poster - supers being petty. I found several references to securing mail, none of which specifically address moving. I am a former stew. I know my stuff. Like to see what is being done in other offices.
I always give ‘em what they think they want
Same dog was in again a couple weeks ago. Contrary to appearance, he's a super friendly, car obsessed goofball. He knows my lunch cooler is in between the seats there.You never leave the door open after that. Pretty sure we have all done it. Had a goat get in my POV and eat my peach. Never left door open/ajar again.
