2nd trip/late truck question

[ATCBigE]

Here's what happen today in my office.

Obviously we got drop off Saturday of flats and packages. The truck was going to be extremely late today. Management said to run packages off of route.

This had me thinking about this and wonder what is the proper way of doing this.

So example, let's say 123 D St had 3 packages you dropped off during this run. Then when you come back to office after the truck arrives at the office, 123 D St gets another 2 packages when you case and do all of that stuff. I know how RRECS is worked with address of the same, but since you ACTUALLY MADE 2 trips to the door. Do you ACTUALLY enter that on the scanner because I assume there's no way you would get credit for 2 trips in this scenario.

I took 35 packages out and I would say I stopped at 50% to 60% of these houses a 2nd time. Just curious how it works.

I would mark it as trip2door myself, as that's the only way to mark i crossed that distance twice. Mailbox wouldn't matter.

Way i see it, at least my marks are defensible and make sense, whether they are correct is up to some office geeks from both teams to decide if anyone at the geound decides to fight it.

That is what I did. I did mark the trips2door at houses I stopped at twice. But you know all of the great training we had and that I couldn't find answer for this.

There is no way to do something that is wrong (not contractual) correctly.
If you run parcels on your route ( first trip, there is no way to credit a first trip as a second trip the first time out of the office) and come back and run the mail and more parcels, the entire route run after the initial run would be a SECOND TRIP, paying an additional 3 minutes/mile for that 2nd trip. If you had gone to the door on the first trip and then had to go to the door on the 2nd trip again, you would only get credit for one dismount (the largest amount of pay for delivery of a parcel) when you actually made 2 dismounts and 2 trips to the door. At this point of doing something that is against our contract due to a "Mistake" by the Usps of a late truck, the way I would remedy this situation is to enter the entire route as a second trip, any homes where I went to the door twice as miscellaneous trip to door (to gain the additional dismount i was forced to make) and an additional trip to door, to gain the extra footage. If I was questioned about these entries I would explain why I had to make them to get the true credit for what I had done.
No manager would likely accept the entire route run as a 2nd trip without a grievance, but when they make you run parcels 1st, then the route 2nd, THEY are the ones that caused the problem. The correct way for your manager to have remedied this situation is to have paid you waiting time until the truck arrived, which he was obviously trying to get out of by making you take parcels 1st
