New survey daily volume sheet
- Thread starter nlsal209

The sheet you posted isn't right. Manglement keeps making their own each survey don't use what they give you. Sorry I don't have the correct sheet but that thing is missing a ton of stuff.
Miscellaneous Time is recorded on its own separate sheet. If you pull the rrecs survey documents you should be able to find it or pull management's RMSS training materials (can Google search for it) and it'll have the Miscellaneous Time sheet.
I'm terrible with the internet and posting things including attachments so I apologize for not providing better information.
***the knowledge base on this site has rrecs documents too.***

This is overkill.
There is no need to separate the items pulled from DPS. Simply count all items pulled out, add the Inverted credit, and give mgmt the total. Also give any timings done on the route.
MMS needs only:
AM Letters, AM Flats, AM timings (if any), PM Letters (Inverted/4 plus DPS pulls), PM flats(if any), Route timings (if any).

We get one like this. I throw it in the trash and I either tell them my numbers or leave them a post it, then I check when I get the official count sheet. Something breaking down the mark-ups, ubbm, etc just tells me they're looking at how many and how they can stop you from getting them.
Never trust management
Lol you better ask for time since you were doing managements job for them by filling out this sheet. If they want to know your break downs then they should be watching everyone in the office, which they can't do, so they resort to outsourcing their work to carriers as always.

Not mgmt duties with Carriers keeping track. That form is not a mgmt form but was created by a carrier. There are other versions floating around my office & the internet.
Nowhere does the MMS require a breakdown of counted items.
The downside of keeping detailed notes is that if any of those items are questionable for count, the breakdown makes it easy for mgmt to delete those numbers from the daily totals.
Management has tried handing forms out like this at my office before under the pretense of being "helpful". I was new at the time but thankfully the old heads shot it down quickly, and now I know better.
The original source of this itemized nonsense came from a former HQ person working out of Pacific area. She was a former clerk and was trying to convince HQ of the need to improve the DBCS codeware to prevent carriers from getting undeliverable mail and save labor hours. They actually did require city carriers to fill out sheets daily for vacation and recent vacancy addresses to remove it from DPS/FSS streams. It simply never translated to rural due to the option of casing the mail.
There was a reason. They were trying to remove volume to save hours. However, it's absolutely never been a part of rrecs to identify second handle mail down to the reason other than it couldn't be delivered.
Actually, with respect to 3M mail ( mis-sort, mis-sent, and mis-sequenced ) , MANAGEMENT is SUPPOSED to be keeping track of the totals DAILY. That's WHY there is a 3M case in addition to a throwback case. That is also why there is a spot(s) for each of the three classifications.
. Anyways my last post on this but the sheet I provided came from NRLCA direction because of the misinformation that was going on each survey in the office in which I got it from and someone I know there.

I remember that stupidity. That was before RRECS if I recall & was to assist in separating the Hold Mail from the rest of the mail. In theory, it was a good idea but not practical.

That happened here last year from a Supervisor that used to be Rural. Still doesn’t make it a mgmt and it confuses newer carriers that didn’t experience the old mail counts.
When the MMS started, it was our “old heads” that were pushing a version of this tracking paper & still think that they are helping.
