Honestly my route is hard to say.

Mail is down, but getting extra 20-30 packages a week from UPS and having good count. I should go up an hour I expect unless coverage factor
 
Down for sure, seeing 3 minutes of EOS time when my sub works cause they take the 2nd route with them instead of loading it up after the route is complete.

Either complain about the lower wage, or work 6 days a week so the route gets the proper time credits.

Either way USPS wins that one

Even a lot of our regular carriers had been doing that when working other routes. They would case up the vacant route before they're finished with their own and try to carry everything out in one trip.

Those regulars must not want the extra dough. Free money driving back and forth from the other route.

Wonder what percentage of split routes are done correctly after finishing assigned route.

I would assume the percentage is low.

Yep. This also has a negative impact on the route(s) that are being done this way. ALL routes are mapped with the starting point FROM THE OFFICE. The mileage and traffic control points that are "missed". Loading time NOT recorded on the proper route is another issue assuming that the carrier that is assisting and taking the second route or part of the second route is just loading THAT on his / her route loading time while loading his / her assigned route.
 
Thank you for your 52 weeks of past service to USPS to get that overburdened status 🎉

Pretty sure I will be in the same boat, but really not sure at all. 🤷‍♀️🤪
Doesn’t bother me honestly, it’s mainly due to 12 hardships authorized dismounts added over the last 8-10 months. Amazon, ups, dhl, our own parcels is still every month steadily going up in numbers as well.
