The route I'm a sub on has had two box holders during count, and those have been listed by piece count on our forms. However, the flats count has been around 200 each day, which seems rather low, especially considering we had Costco Connection magazines one day last week.... For reference, my route has around 900-1000 addresses (don't have my 4003 with me).
Flats numbers seem awfully low...

My flats were down more than any thing else... probably close to 25% less than last count... <img title="Frown" alt="Frown" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-frown.gif" />
Turns out I'm a moron (you had probably figured that out already). Looked again, and there were 1500 the day we had the Costco Connection magazines. Flats have been low through most of this count though.... I'm used to getting 4 to 6 tubs full, and we've been getting like 2...

Not to worry... you'll likely be back to getting the 4-6 tubs again tomorrow... this was just a 2 week (weak) pause in flats... <img title="Frown" alt="Frown" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-frown.gif" />
D.B.Cooper et al -- " Not to worry [ lack of flats ] … you’ll likely be back to getting the 4-6 tubs again tomorrow… this was just a 2 week (weak) pause in flats…
-- Unless you are in the North East, than expect LOTS of tubs ( and mail and parcels ) on Saturday and into next week because of Mother Nature.
-- BTW - there is a USPS contingency statement, dated 5 FEB 18, on another thread.
