That's what the city carriers do.However, we don't have a uniform obligation to wear pants that have belt loops...look for THIS to be changed in the new contract imo.How exactly do you keep your "scanners on our body" all the time? I still haven't figured that out. No one in our office has either. Only one that I know of uses the scanner holder but it really doesn't work practically since it's so big. Do you actually wear this and have your scanner in it climbing in and out of vehicle etc....?

I would ask the guy responsible for maintaining the trucks for some cleaning supplies so I could stay on top of things. He would look at me like I was speaking French. I kept some stuff at my case and would wipe the truck (and the case) down every now and then. Anal? Maybe, but I had to look at that stuff every day.On a side note, this is how and where I keep it in the truck...next to my right hand and secured.View attachment 243
Used to use that as well. Then VMF took all of those panels out of our LLVs.The best location that works is if you pull the tray closest to the seat and about an inch from that area there’s a spot on the flat dash where that panel is looser (not near an attachment screw).
If you have enough dirt or gravel roads, it can look like that before one day is out.
I use dollar store baby wipes on mine so I can at least read the gauges.
Back to that point... is anybody giving any sort of odds on whether or not we'll actually be having a mail count this year... anybody check to see what the odds are in Vegas on this... or maybe the odds of having a convention in Vegas???I use a second belt, made of leather I got in the men's section of the store. ( No belt loops needed.) Anything that can hold up a honking big handgun will be fine for the scammer holster. Some posters strap the bottom of the holster to their thigh with a dog collar or a piece of Velcro.
Then it's one less thing to worry about during Mail Count 2019.
I am surprised anyone believes we won’t have one. The only way we don’t is if we go hourly, and they can stand on demonstrated ability when a few start to go slow for dough.
gerl2 -- "You would think that would be considered health and safety hazard. After all, they clean the stations on a daily basis."
-- Not necessarily. Back in the days, if caught up on casing or waiting for DPS or parcels, two of us would get mops and brooms and fox-tails to attack the gathered dust on top of and below and behind our cases.
gerl2 -- " that is janitor work."
-- Right you are! But the custodian / janitor never complained.
-- We made sure he was working in the other post office!
