The one hour increase will be for all the new scans we will have to do. Has nothing to do with what rrecs will do. But your one of the smart ones on this site because you took the time to use your calculator to do the math.Your union state president is wrong. RRECS will lower rural carriers pay and lower their evaluations across the nation. Get a calculator and figure it out.
And what exactly are "all the new scans we will have to do" that could possibly cause a one hour increase?The one hour increase will be for all the new scans we will have to do.

In our office we figure the only positive gains we will get from rrecs is package dismount time(buried in Amazon) and some drive time(L routes. We never go 30 mph) and actual loading time. Can't see it any other way. I hope we are wrong.
And what exactly are "all the new scans we will have to do" that could possibly cause a one hour increase?
There will be 6 mandatory scans everyday ( clock in , start load, stop load, begin route, end route, clock out ) as well as 15 more possible scans you could perform during the day ( wss flats, wss letters, boxholder flats, boxholder letters, begin deviation, end of deviation, that's a few )And what exactly are "all the new scans we will have to do" that could possibly cause a one hour increase?

You can find the info under engineer study, update on rural route evaluation compensation system dated 1/4/2019. Sorry I don't know how to paste it for you to see. Maybe someone could do it.

I got a fairly flat route, and still have blackout spots where scanner doesn't get a signal.

I too am concerned about the impact of RRECSHere is the link to the posting on rural info.
And here is a link to the standup talk inside of that posting.
@Morty When you say "they didn't seem bothered with RRECS one bit." Do you mean they were convinced RRECS was going to be an overall good thing for them and their office. Or do you mean they were completely apathetic and just blindly doing what they were told?
I for one am concerned: why haven't we gotten an estimate of RRECS impact?
1) The NRLCA really has no idea how RRECS will affect routes. After all of this time, I'd have to call that negligence.
2) OR The NRLCA does have an estimate, but for some reason they are repressing the info. But why???
3) OR maybe the NRLCA and the PO just want to wait and give all of us a nice surprise raise!
Last time I heard a average number assigned to the "bump" ... it was like about 5 or 6 hours per week.... now multiply that by ~ 75,000 routes.... and you're talking about some real $$$$ money coming out of the wallets of rural carriers.....I too am concerned about the impact of RRECS
1) I don't believe the NRLCA doesn't know how RRECS will impact rural routes. They should at least know how it will impact the study routes. We have inputted information for them since August of 2014 and they have created and verified the standards. Why aren't they telling us?
2) I was looking forward to the implementation of RRECS. There was no way that my route would have not have gained significantly if the study did what it was supposed to do....get the right times for the things we do and a more accurate reflection of the volume we delivered.
3)They told us that between 80-90% of carriers should be able to meet or beat their evals. While this sounds good, I worry about all the carriers who can beat their evals by many hours each week right now. While they may still be able to beat their evals, they may suffer a massive loss in evaluation. If what I read in many posts is true, there are carriers who can beat their evals by 2-3 hours each day. Those types of routes may lose 10 or more hours in evaluation each week
Maybe @C$$ is a mole or a plant by the USPS/NRLCA to get us to swallow this poison pill called RRECS.... or maybe he's just clairvoyant....@C$$ one person is heavily involved in the union, deep. They have been doing actions none of us have or are even an option on our scanner. They were under the impression that no route will lose. It pretty much mocks the city routine, so they said. Lots of scans.
Either they were towing the line and being a loyal sheep (highly possible) or the information they are privy to, leads them to believe we will be ok (plausible).
I'll be meeting with these guys over the next months. I don't know what to ask? They get to see the raw data, we don't. Sad.
