As for the 2nd route which delivers about 1000 packages a day ( even to 10 addresses) cannot be less than 48k . Just the packages itself is about 12 hrs a day . Add to that load time , numerous trip to door , mileage , normal mail , office walk etc easily will make it to 16 hrs a day . . Someone screwed up big time somewhere when adjusting the routes before freezing .
Addendum: I corrected my post after calculating . This route must have been part of humongous route before adjustment. When they cut the route they cut the real work to this auxiliary but kept all light work addresses to old route . I will bet my life that old route lost hours big time this time around. Is that the 12H or 26H ? This never would have happened if RRECS would have stored data per address . They need to distribute those 10 addresses to 3 routes even if it goes against squaring off if they want stability of routes . Alternately they can make 2 routes exclusively with this addresses and never transfer them to any other route
