At least three times a week I have to dismount, go into a office to collect postage due, I not sure if I am being paid for this or not. How can I be sure I get this credited during the count ?

Oi Vey is correct. Postage due PARCELS get a credit under postage due AND parcel so we go to the door for these. Postage due letters or flats do NOT get credit as a letter or flat; only as postage due. I do a postage due every week for a bank that has "Address Service Requested" on their outgoing so I just leave a 3849 in the mailbox for those requested copies that come back.
They are almost no time, it takes several to make a minute; but every second counts in a count and since you have a good many maybe it will benefit you.
oi veh we only dismount for parcels postage due...leave 3849 for all else ??.. Is there something in writing to reference for management to not read haha ??

All -- Sorry, the following will be a bit "off-topic" but at least it deals with count. I could not find the thread that had mentioned a signature waiver Express Mail being credited as a "flat" and not an accountable item.
-- Page 47 of the PO-603. Section 25 - Accountable Items. Subsection 251 - Definition - For rural carriers, accountable items include: item "g". Express Mail Though I'd guess manglement will still fight it.

It was buried in this General discussion thread:
Postage due is worth 12 secs on count despite the # of items postage due for a single location.
In my experience for locations that get these on a regular basis or any other. Pay out of pocket once. If they don't reimburse write up 3849 in office. Arrive at location. Not out door in 12 sec with correct amount drive away, put notice in box.
