Aux Route

[Twingrlie]

So I’m on a brand new Aux route and the 4240 has said it’s a Non L route since the creation of the route three weeks ago. When I reached out to the District rural AMS person about this, she said it will remain a non L route until it’s counted in September. My questions are: Why can’t it start out as an L route? and Am I losing money by not having it classified as an L route? It’s 22.5 miles long and 299 NBU addresses that are open.

Twingrlie -- IF the route is all NBU addresses, won't make a difference if the route is an "L" or "Non-L" as NBU box factor credit is 1.00.

Just for future reference, and concerning routes that have regular curbside delivery or a mix of curbside and NDCBU deliveries; L route status means it uses the lower box factor (1.82) for the regular boxes..hence lower standard hours. Non-L status means that the box factor of 2 is used which results in higher standard hours (all else being equal)!!

I like to explain it this way, to make it easy to remember:

L stands for Less money.

Now Rural carriers make Less money Carrying Anything, so thats what our association actually stands for NRLCA!
