  Now, here are the host of The United, We scan podcast, And
• 1:03
  welcome back. We are on episode sweet. 16.
• 1:08
  It's been an interesting week to say the least a little bit of a
• 1:12
  roll. One going on here.
• 1:14
  But let's start off the night. We've got Bill and James, and
• 1:19
  Mike and and Josh for a little bit.
• 1:21
  Joining us tonight. How's it going Josh?
• 1:25
  It's going better. Today's the first day and well
• 1:32
  over week that I have to take any kind of drugs to keep you
• 1:36
  hopping. So that's Applause.
• 1:41
  Mike Mike, how's your week been? My week's been my week's been
• 1:47
  good. I got elected.
• 1:51
  Was it last week and this week, I got elected, I gotta like this
• 1:54
  awesome Steward. So there's that and grab some
• 2:00
  going through. So yeah, we'll just see how that
• 2:05
  goes. I was telling you just before we
• 2:08
  started, but I hope I hurt my certification next week.
• 2:13
  So, we'll, we'll see how that goes.
• 2:16
  And I've already had people starting to line up and ask the
• 2:18
  questions and it's like and that's carriers and supervisors
• 2:22
  saying, well, you're the union guy now?
• 2:25
  It's like, well, not quite yet, but yeah, I know what you mean.
• 2:31
  James has been going. It's been a lot of fun Fielding
• 2:36
  questions and answering questions over the 4241 80s and
• 2:40
  4241 M's and helping carriers learn what they can do to help
• 2:45
  their their numbers accurately and not try to fake it to where
• 2:53
  they could actually get in trouble where they could
• 2:55
  actually be fired for falsifying.
• 2:57
  Their scans. So I took the kind out of the
• 3:01
  end of my day off the clock. I'm Our time to be able to sit
• 3:06
  down and actually talk with each and every carrier that wanted
• 3:09
  the information and I had over half my carriers already and I
• 3:13
  figure I'll keep doing that until everybody satisfied that
• 3:16
  they don't want to talk to me about it anymore.
• 3:19
  Yeah, there is no no faking it till you make it in this game
• 3:22
  here. Bill how.
• 3:27
  Yeah. How was your week, dear?
• 3:33
  Well, we got a new PTFE outside the office, he's working out.
• 3:38
  Well from yesterday and you actually did Amazon today.
• 3:42
  We, we have to redo the Matrix and the supervisor said, well,
• 3:48
  how do you do that? And I just walked away from her.
• 3:52
  That was the nicest thing I could do.
• 3:55
  And I'm a little worried about, you know, some of the things I'm
• 3:58
  seeing on on the Facebook groups in regards to actually Lee
• 4:03
  cheating, the system. And I want to warn people not to
• 4:08
  do some of these things because when the scans come back and
• 4:12
  they check on, you're going to be in deep doo-doo.
• 4:17
  And I'm not sure I got what ya you really want to even discuss
• 4:19
  what they were, but they were scans that aren't in the rec
• 4:26
  system. That's yeah, yeah.
• 4:31
  We're going to touch on some of that here tonight, folks.
• 4:36
  As was mentioned, before it's been a little bit of a whirlwind
• 4:39
  of a week. I don't think any of us was
• 4:42
  expecting last week's episode to do what it did.
• 4:48
  I think you, every single one of you who have listened to have
• 4:54
  subscribed to have shared Joy, The group.
• 5:00
  Wow, I am. I'm floored this week.
• 5:02
  I really was a bit overwhelming on top of my busy week of having
• 5:08
  to run around a half or two routes a day on top of the sinus
• 5:14
  thing. I've got going on.
• 5:16
  So if I'm a little nasally, that's why I just wow.
• 5:21
  I am. Thank you.
• 5:22
  That's all I can really say right now is.
• 5:24
  Thank you. Thanks.
• 5:28
  It was humbling. It was every time I turned
• 5:32
  around this week, there was a new message or question which is
• 5:36
  great and we apologize or any delays in getting it to
• 5:44
  responding to you. It's just We can double or
• 5:50
  triple or quadruple. I think we went from we went
• 5:57
  viral, but like, we went from like 80 listens on average per
• 6:03
  episode 2 like into the thousands.
• 6:07
  So thank you, everyone. We collectively build up there.
• 6:25
  We will definitely get to all of your questions or concerns just
• 6:31
  be patient with us. There's just a lot more of you
• 6:36
  than any of us I think ever expected and we appreciate each
• 6:41
  and every one of you. Thank you.
• 6:44
  Yeah, I can say for a fact that I did not expect the outpouring
• 6:49
  of the sharing that I've seen all over the world groups, and
• 6:54
  postal groups all over Facebook and other social media sites.
• 6:59
  You know, you guys are the reason why we do this.
• 7:02
  We're here for you guys, we want to get you the best information
• 7:06
  we possibly can so that you can be informed on what's going on
• 7:11
  and to have that outpouring of support tells us that what we're
• 7:16
  doing is right, you know, unbiased unfiltered truth that
• 7:21
  we see on our own out there. And you guys are telling us by
• 7:26
  this that we're doing the right thing and we really do
• 7:29
  appreciate that. Now, do you have any input on
• 7:34
  how this week has been a whirlwind for us?
• 7:40
  I guess, positive enforcement reinforcement and good
• 7:45
  information, trying to lift the carrier's up and and give them
• 7:50
  hope. I guess that's a better message
• 7:52
  than dragging down the national board of the United States
• 7:56
  Postal Service positivity, outweighs negativity.
• 8:00
  And that's proven to in one episode with this Rex mini mail
• 8:07
  survey affecting everybody as it did, the people have come out of
• 8:12
  the woodwork and said we need to know more where can I learn and
• 8:16
  and they have found out where they can go and we are happy to
• 8:20
  do this and just so You know, everybody knows is we're doing
• 8:26
  this on our own where yes the majority of us.
• 8:32
  Here are local stewards. We are not acting in a store
• 8:35
  capacity. We are just one rule carrier to
• 8:39
  another just going over the information and explaining what
• 8:42
  we have learned. Through the course of this.
• 8:47
  And James has a correction from last week.
• 8:51
  He wants to talk about real quick.
• 8:54
  Last week we went over the 4241. A is line by line of what was on
• 9:00
  it and at the time we were going over it.
• 9:03
  I misspoke. And there's a section in the
• 9:06
  4241 that says walk and that section is specifically for your
• 9:12
  Dismount distances. It does not include your parcel
• 9:15
  delivery. That is actually included in
• 9:18
  your personal. So the walk on your 4241 A's is
• 9:22
  for your dismount. Distances only how far you walk
• 9:26
  to go to your Dismount that you measured with your wheel and
• 9:29
  that's the time you got for it. So I just wanted to put that
• 9:31
  correction out there from last week's episode.
• 9:39
  Okay. All right.
• 9:40
  Mike your thoughts on this Whirlwind this week?
• 9:47
  Well, if you get a whole thing overwhelming, so we're just now,
• 9:55
  like you said, we're just a bunch of carriers to sitting
• 9:57
  around here, on Sunday after Sunday evening, just sharing
• 10:03
  sharing the information that we I think it goes to show that,
• 10:08
  you know, in Access of any, any leadership from above, people
• 10:15
  will listen to any? Well, maybe that's not the right
• 10:17
  way to say it is people are looking for, you are looking for
• 10:20
  information and we're just providing it and it's like you
• 10:24
  say, it's not in the capacity of Steward.
• 10:27
  It's okay. So this is anything that this is
• 10:30
  information. You can find on your own.
• 10:34
  We're just we're just nerds and just like to look at this stuff
• 10:38
  and are willing to talk about it and we're just verbalizing it
• 10:42
  which I get I listen to things why we're on the route, you
• 10:46
  know, we listen to podcast, we listen to music, you know.
• 10:49
  So I get to wear. If you're listening to Somebody
• 10:53
  explain something and sometimes it comes across a lot easier,
• 10:58
  you understand it a little bit more than trying to read it off
• 11:02
  a sheet. Or you know, you know, your
• 11:06
  management just hand you the wrecks guidance is, here you go
• 11:08
  and you're like what am I supposed to do with this?
• 11:11
  Oh, you have those six mandatory scans and they leave it at that
• 11:13
  and that they called that training.
• 11:16
  Well, now we're finding out, ya know, there's a little bit more
• 11:19
  to that. But anything yeah and the
• 11:23
  information has changed numerous times over the last year and a
• 11:27
  half of all this coming out and it's just kind of been going
• 11:31
  with the flow and figuring out what it is.
• 11:34
  And I know the majority of us. You know, we do go to just about
• 11:39
  every meeting that we can to conventions conferences and
• 11:42
  whatnot. So in to get that understanding
• 11:45
  and Some of us like myself have absolutely no life and this is
• 11:52
  all we do is work and come home. And Study more about work and
• 11:59
  talk about more about work and what we can do to make it better
• 12:03
  and that's why we're here. So I wanted to pose a question
• 12:07
  to you, Kristen. Yes, with that statement you
• 12:10
  just made you were in a test office right when I first
• 12:13
  started. Yes. 89.
• 12:16
  Little over eight years ago. Yes, my first office was a test
• 12:18
  office. So, how is the rec system
• 12:23
  slightly different from when you started in that test office when
• 12:29
  I, you know, thing? Some things have changed even
• 12:32
  with the scans when I remember doing a start reload and an end
• 12:40
  reload. So when we're out on the route
• 12:42
  and we have to move our mail around, we did a Reload, start
• 12:46
  in a Reload end and I do believe that's where they get some of
• 12:50
  that. Those averages is where they
• 12:52
  came up with the standard for that to build it in honestly,
• 12:55
  think they should still have that feature.
• 12:58
  Especially for POV routes. We at one time also had to do a
• 13:05
  start mileage and end mileage, even in the POV cars.
• 13:09
  When we hit our depart to Route, we have to do a start mileage
• 13:14
  and an end mileage. That what that feature, only
• 13:18
  lasted I want to say six to eight weeks, it wasn't very
• 13:21
  long. Yeah, there has been some
• 13:26
  changes I noticed course it had been I had been at that office
• 13:33
  for three and a half years and I had been at my current office
• 13:35
  for, you know, two and a half. Three years, when they started
• 13:42
  the scans in there. So the I did notice a difference
• 13:46
  in some of it. Like I said, there were some
• 13:48
  scans we didn't have and we did have, you know, the we did have
• 13:52
  the deviation 1. Stow, it was for expresses.
• 13:57
  Like I said, a few things, postage.
• 13:59
  Dues, you know, some of the little stuff was new that we
• 14:02
  didn't have before. Yeah, I just wanted to put it
• 14:06
  out there that this thing has been changing ever since the
• 14:09
  first day it was created because even now there's been small
• 14:13
  changes even the trainings that we went through when we went
• 14:17
  through the trainings for management, they told us that
• 14:19
  problem was countered out of the GTS, and then the second day of
• 14:23
  the, many mail survey told us of them wasn't counted.
• 14:26
  And then the last day of training, they said, album is
• 14:28
  counted. Do you remember the numbers of
• 14:30
  other you had each day? That kind of stuff though.
• 14:36
  Yeah and I do feel bad because most postmasters out there want
• 14:44
  our routes to go up the office postmasters.
• 14:46
  Want our roads to go up, that's a benefit to them.
• 14:49
  That actually gives them more room in their payroll yearly in
• 14:54
  the office. So they can hire more clerks.
• 14:56
  They can hire more staff in the office if you don't have a
• 15:01
  janitor could give them enough payroll day.
• 15:03
  We hire a janitor and things like that posted the local
• 15:07
  postmasters want this to work and watch a rock to go up.
• 15:10
  Unless of course, you have a terrible postmaster, I won't
• 15:13
  name names. I do know, one that doesn't care
• 15:16
  what happens to their carrier, their offices, their office, in
• 15:19
  their the god of it and that's it.
• 15:22
  But when, when it comes down to it, the problem with Management
• 15:29
  training us was it was from the district level.
• 15:33
  Level on up. Yes, and districts still doesn't
• 15:36
  have the full training. My poor postmaster.
• 15:40
  Never got all the information she needed from District about
• 15:43
  this though. She got all her information from
• 15:45
  me. Yeah, it was and mine got a lot.
• 15:51
  As well, say was my supervisor, and, of course, rating it's
• 15:56
  frustrating because we, they knew this was happening.
• 15:59
  They knew this discount was coming and that'd be the 52
• 16:02
  weeks and even the carriers that learn the stuff.
• 16:06
  My office in particular, you know, we had two months where we
• 16:10
  weren't in our office, due to unforeseen circumstances, we had
• 16:14
  to vacate for a while. I won't mention why for security
• 16:19
  reasons. Safety reasons on.
• 16:21
  Had cast but so during those two months, where the start of this
• 16:27
  fifty, two-week period. So our numbers were screwed
• 16:30
  because of that and then you have the fact that management
• 16:34
  was told only to have us do the mandatory six cans.
• 16:38
  Don't worry about anything else will learn that later, you know,
• 16:41
  carriers started realizing, oh crap.
• 16:44
  We got to start doing this, to three months before the mini
• 16:47
  mail survey. And so, now you got carriers
• 16:50
  rushing to get these The scans in and you have three months of
• 16:54
  scans, that are being divided, amongst 12 months.
• 16:58
  And that's where a lot of people lost.
• 16:59
  A lot of money is, if you did, I'm only for a month to month,
• 17:03
  three months, it's still being divided by 12 months, no matter
• 17:07
  what you did and that, you know, we had that son.
• 17:12
  From this where carrier retired last summer.
• 17:15
  And she did the six mandatory because you know, Management's
• 17:18
  right here but I'm getting those six cans in can't miss those
• 17:21
  skins and that's all she did because she didn't care because
• 17:24
  she was out the door soon and yeah he didn't care about her
• 17:28
  and exterior and They got all. When the new art regular, took
• 17:38
  it over and he lost three hours. Second company somewhere will
• 17:46
  offer. All I have to say it because no
• 17:50
  matter what happens either way this is going to be a lose-lose
• 17:54
  for carriers. Yes.
• 17:56
  Yeah if they put the moratorium on until the next count, the 33%
• 18:02
  of carriers that went up there going to lose out on that extra
• 18:06
  pay that they should they rightfully deserve because they
• 18:10
  don't have a lot of them don't have all these Scans in either
• 18:13
  and they went way up. So they're hurting really bad.
• 18:17
  And then if they do allow these scans to go through, then you
• 18:21
  have sixty percent, sixty six percent of the carrier's losing
• 18:24
  money, losing days off, and things like that.
• 18:28
  Either way, no matter what happens with this moratorium
• 18:31
  somebody's going to lose and it hurts that way too.
• 18:35
  But the question we have to ask ourselves as carrier as a group
• 18:40
  is what? Is the best option for the crap.
• 18:46
  I know it's hard when you're looking at your paycheck going
• 18:50
  on, the 33 percent you're going. Wow, I could be actually be
• 18:53
  making this much money instead of this.
• 18:56
  That's where, is this been for the last three years or you're
• 19:00
  on the 66% aside going oh wow. I'm going to lose so much money
• 19:04
  on this, you know. But you have to look at the
• 19:07
  facts of how can we move forward from this?
• 19:10
  How can we help ourselves? Elves get better at this get in
• 19:14
  a position where this is a good thing for us.
• 19:20
  And so today I want I want to make sure that you know no
• 19:24
  matter what happens, we are here with you, no matter what
• 19:29
  happens, I'm Kristen with you're saying the one carrier lost
• 19:34
  three hours because the carrier on the route or hit him was not.
• 19:42
  In any of the scans except for this area over was what I'm
• 19:47
  saying. If that three-hour loss he took
• 19:53
  was wholly due to scanning, not lost the volume, it will
• 20:00
  hopefully get that back next you know the next tale.
• 20:04
  It was an Abomination. I mean I mean it was a
• 20:07
  combination with with the yeah. That's why I said if it was sold
• 20:12
  The Skins not the volume. No it was definitely a
• 20:15
  combination, not so much the volume.
• 20:17
  But I had to do because that that route itself is not a very
• 20:20
  high volume route at all 93 Miles. 478 boxes, his coverage
• 20:28
  Factor was always 68%. What really got him.
• 20:34
  What really got us on. This route is the fact that, you
• 20:38
  know, being an en el status route Having the Box Factor go
• 20:45
  from 2 minutes. A box to one point two minutes.
• 20:49
  A box that's ninety five minutes lost right there.
• 20:53
  Having an in the drive speed Matrix or the drive Matrix,
• 20:58
  being a longer mile route. Longer deadheads in between
• 21:03
  boxes, is also another Factor as well.
• 21:06
  But yeah, it's that one was definitely a combination.
• 21:10
  And it's really hard because I'm trying to do, you know, I'm
• 21:12
  going through the numbers and his sheets going.
• 21:15
  Yeah, you know, I feel bad because I can't say, oh, no,
• 21:20
  this is wrong. This is wrong.
• 21:21
  This is wrong because Cuz I'm plugging in the new standards on
• 21:25
  stuff and I'm going. Yeah, that's not wrong.
• 21:29
  But I mean, so there's those considerations are taken to for
• 21:33
  some of those routes that lost and and that's what to say, you
• 21:37
  know, that's what to say. I wasn't saying that it, you
• 21:39
  know, it, unless you look at the actual numbers and see the
• 21:44
  actual data, you don't, you don't know.
• 21:48
  But what I was saying is if the loss was And Riveter we scheme
• 21:55
  that part back, which will hopefully recoup some of the
• 22:04
  loss. Yeah.
• 22:06
  But the feeling it's not going to just because of the loss of
• 22:10
  the doubt, the volume and hell. Yeah, it's even going on now,
• 22:14
  right, we should hold. Ya think about think about what
• 22:19
  management was telling us this week if you Stop at every box
• 22:23
  for three to five seconds in a registry.
• 22:25
  Stop there and increase your coverage Factor.
• 22:29
  But that's not true. It's an it's interest.
• 22:34
  It's interesting. They say that the you have to
• 22:35
  stop or three to five seconds for the scanner to register you
• 22:38
  stop. But you only get a half a second
• 22:41
  credit for a stop sign. And where's the logic in that?
• 22:49
  I actually heard as long as you're at a walking pace.
• 22:56
  It's supposed to clock as supposed to counter.
• 23:00
  Oh crap! I'll get my Radio Flyer wagon
• 23:02
  out and I'll deliver the whole route with my Radio Flyer. yo,
• 23:13
  if you pass the box at a walking pace, It's supposed to drop the
• 23:19
  break from the, you know, for that box.
• 23:23
  No, it's a parcel wrong, okay?
• 23:46
  All the stuff that they were set on the conflicting Acting
• 23:48
  information. We're getting is supposed to be,
• 23:51
  it's going to be. It will be, it's not true.
• 23:54
  It's not a narrative we can promote, okay?
• 23:59
  You can't say it's supposed to prove it and this is what we
• 24:03
  have to demand from the damn doctor.
• 24:05
  Miracle who screwed this up over eight years and couldn't get it
• 24:10
  off the ground. Having the other two engineers,
• 24:14
  Don't say supposed to get well and you're right.
• 24:19
  We get less than half a second for stop sign.
• 24:22
  So, how can we get, you know, be grub be remanded to get three to
• 24:26
  five seconds in the mailbox. I don't do three to five
• 24:29
  seconds. Nope, and then awful the system
• 24:36
  and I hit and run. Yep, and I have a 95% coverage
• 24:41
  Factor. You know, they supposedly I get
• 24:46
  caught backing up all the time on my scanner but I'm like I'm
• 24:50
  not a 50-foot woman, five foot zero woman with very short legs.
• 24:54
  Walking back to this thing. I have very long legs.
• 24:57
  I'ma call person I can walk back to my bought by boxes and get
• 25:01
  about 8 miles an hour. Walking just normal pace for
• 25:04
  myself, it's gonna kill me backing up but I'm actually
• 25:07
  walking So, you're telling me the scanners accurate that I'm
• 25:11
  actually backing up in the truck when I'm actually using my two
• 25:14
  legs to go back, and drop that package in the mail box that I
• 25:16
  accidentally missed because it was behind the one and for the
• 25:19
  next house because I have so many packages, I'm delivering
• 25:21
  three, four houses in a row. Yeah.
• 25:26
  The scanners aren't totally accurate.
• 25:28
  I was making comments. I was making comments on
• 25:31
  Facebook about Stevie use and stuff like that.
• 25:33
  And if you have a group of them together and you're doing
• 25:36
  authorized Dismount there, you getting authorizes now credit
• 25:41
  for each CPU. That's it in there.
• 25:43
  You're supposed to, it's supposed to be on your 4241.
• 25:46
  A that you have these specific dismounting each CD, you should
• 25:49
  become it as a Dismount and that you should do your your Your
• 25:54
  mail volume, whatever you can fit in your hand safely deliver
• 25:59
  to the box. If you run out of mail and still
• 26:00
  have more mail for the box, go back here truck refill.
• 26:04
  That's one extra authorized dismount.
• 26:08
  Then when you're done with that, if you have any Parcels that
• 26:12
  will fit in the mailbox that you couldn't carry with the mail at
• 26:14
  you carrying, then you go back and you take them back to the
• 26:17
  Box again, that's another extra authorized Dismount.
• 26:21
  Then when you get to larger Parcels with parcel lockers each
• 26:25
  parcel lockers can gives you an authorized Dismount value as
• 26:31
  long as they're right there with your CB use if they're separate,
• 26:35
  then that's something completely different.
• 26:36
  And something that the engineers Been really calculate into this.
• 26:39
  From what I've seen in red, they haven't calculated.
• 26:42
  If the parcel lockers are 100 feet away, or 200 feet away or
• 26:46
  whatever, they didn't calculate that in.
• 26:49
  But we'll go over to be coded into your Dismount distances
• 26:55
  measured directly as well. It could be a miscellaneous
• 26:59
  activity, actually. Yeah, that too.
• 27:02
  Because, yeah, it's a missile effectivity.
• 27:05
  Were your time where you took your time to walk to that box
• 27:09
  and back to your truck. But we'll go over that with the
• 27:15
  scans later on, because we're going to go over all the wreck
• 27:17
  scans later, right? I was just gonna say that we
• 27:20
  kind of jump into that. Now, unless somebody else has
• 27:23
  something else they want to cover?
• 27:24
  Bill, Josh Mike, no good. All right, we're gonna go over
• 27:31
  the wrecks activity, scan sheet, real quick.
• 27:36
  I'm going to cover these. The first.
• 27:40
  I'll do the six required. Once real quick, what kind of
• 27:43
  trade off a little That so it's not one voice doing the whole
• 27:45
  thing. I'm going to start off with ice.
• 27:49
  Obviously, I've everybody should know now about clocking in upon
• 27:54
  arriving to work immediately retrieve and log into the MDD,
• 27:58
  the scanner, the clock, in the selection records, the start of
• 28:02
  the workday. For the carrier, we've been
• 28:04
  getting a lot of issues with people clocking in early even
• 28:09
  bound to one minute two minutes early on the clock.
• 28:13
  Kin where it's coming down from management.
• 28:16
  Saying, you can't clock in early, the James did bring this
• 28:21
  up to National during our steroids.
• 28:26
  Umm, and if you are getting reprimanded for clocking in a
• 28:31
  minute or two early, Please notify your ADR and your DVRs.
• 28:38
  So they can get a list and if you can find out where that
• 28:42
  directive comes from AK, whether it's coming from your postmaster
• 28:46
  directly or above them. Hence like in my office, we an
• 28:53
  email was sent out by the acting poom and then our 204 B was,
• 29:00
  then the person do have to go around and tell everybody and I
• 29:03
  said, I'd like a copy of that please.
• 29:06
  And which I got. So, yes.
• 29:12
  I've been seeing things on social media saying, you'll grab
• 29:16
  your scanner 8:00. And if you clock in at 2 minutes
• 29:18
  late, it's fine. They don't watch a clock at an
• 29:21
  event early again. You're being reprimanded about
• 29:23
  it, please let your ADR in your dere's.
• 29:26
  No. Your start load vehicle.
• 29:31
  This is when you're moving, you're loaded conveyance from
• 29:34
  the work room area to begin. Loading your vehicle.
• 29:37
  You can have multiple start load-in and loads if there are
• 29:42
  additional trips to load, I know in some offices, you, you know,
• 29:48
  you get everything ready, pull down and you load all at.
• 29:51
  Once in my office. We don't have the conveyance to
• 29:56
  do that. We don't have the room.
• 29:57
  Room to do that. You know, we'll have everything.
• 30:01
  Okay, stop, we'll go through our packages, will have a hamper
• 30:04
  full of big ones. We go out and load those.
• 30:07
  Then we'll come back and we'll sort through some more because
• 30:10
  usually the clerk's aren't done yet.
• 30:14
  Will even go and load packages while we're waiting for clerks
• 30:16
  to finish. Sorting mail, you know, we'll
• 30:19
  come back. And then, you know that will
• 30:21
  pull down and do a final load. After we pull down, you can have
• 30:25
  multiple start load and end. Woods.
• 30:29
  Let me add on to that. There, there's a few caveats in
• 30:34
  the 99 page manual on the start load and unload portions of
• 30:38
  this. One of the caveat is floor.
• 30:42
  Loaded, Parcels is the clerk's. Bring them over and drop a major
• 30:45
  case. You can actually do a start load
• 30:48
  before you load them into your conveyance, to take them up to
• 30:51
  your vehicle, same with BPS. If you're not a withdrawal
• 30:57
  office, And the clerk's drop the DPS and you take it on the side,
• 31:02
  you can actually use that in the start load and the load time
• 31:05
  that you're doing and things like that.
• 31:08
  Now, some carriers are going out and quote-unquote milking the
• 31:14
  clock, using the load truck feature.
• 31:18
  Now, I have talked, I've talked with union leaders on this part
• 31:23
  and their opinion is load. Truck is He's a carrier option
• 31:29
  under the evaluated time, but not under, hourly time.
• 31:35
  If management tells you to use the load truck feature under
• 31:39
  hourly time, you have to use the low truck feature, your pay by
• 31:42
  the hour, take this all the time you need, but if you are using
• 31:47
  it under the load truck feature and your time is more than I
• 31:52
  think it was 20 minutes. Was what I was told that
• 31:55
  management is getting an alert on it for They're going to
• 31:58
  investigate. Why why it's taking you so long
• 32:01
  to load your truck? You know granted if you have
• 32:04
  multiple load trucks throughout the day especially if you do
• 32:08
  second trips or you know do an Express and things like that and
• 32:13
  as up to more than 20 minutes they're less likely to flag it.
• 32:16
  But 20 minutes is approximately the time that they maximize the
• 32:21
  number, the time that you can do to load your truck but as long
• 32:25
  as you are, loading your vehicle.
• 32:28
  Accurately and efficiently as efficiently as you can.
• 32:31
  There's really not much room management can complain about.
• 32:34
  If you take 25 minutes to do so, low time is also a street time
• 32:41
  function and as the union will say, it's going to take what
• 32:45
  it's going to take. So if they are harassing you
• 32:49
  about your load times, the definitely contact your union
• 32:54
  reps on that. Okay?
• 32:57
  And load off. So that's what you're going to
• 32:58
  hit when you come back in when you're done loading and whether
• 33:02
  you're done loading for before you leave or you're done loading
• 33:06
  for that trip of what's already loaded.
• 33:09
  Now, if you have another conveyance, if you have more
• 33:11
  than one, has a pumpkin or whatever you use to load your
• 33:15
  vehicle with and that is ready to go, you can bring the one in
• 33:19
  and the other one's ready to go to take out.
• 33:22
  You don't have to hit N Load and start load again.
• 33:25
  You're still going to keep that clock running until you're at.
• 33:27
  Absolutely done. And also make sure you start
• 33:32
  load before you step out of your case and in the load, when you
• 33:37
  step back into your case, everything's from your case.
• 33:42
  So from where you're throwing mail into your case, that's
• 33:45
  where you start load. And that's where you end load.
• 33:49
  If you do it, when you're outside the building and finish,
• 33:51
  loading your truck, you're cutting off your own nose.
• 33:54
  We've got three actually have little cards.
• 33:57
  And my office like that. Look like little police car,
• 34:01
  police cards that you'd put like on a table that have N Load
• 34:04
  written on them. That way carriers, they set it
• 34:07
  on the case. That way when they come back
• 34:10
  from their done, they know it's a reminder to themselves to hit
• 34:13
  and load. So What was that Josh?
• 34:18
  What were you going to add? I wouldn't say in regards to
• 34:21
  with, you know, with the till you were saying about it takes
• 34:25
  as long as it takes as long as you are voting.
• 34:29
  Yes. If you remember back with the
• 34:31
  own count system, they had to put a justification for anything
• 34:36
  over like, 15 minutes. And to Gerdes was a
• 34:41
  justification like two trips. Stewart, from the case of a
• 34:46
  vehicle. alright, so that covers our even and load depart to
• 34:54
  Route is when you are starting the vehicle to do part 2
• 34:58
  delivery unit to service the route.
• 35:02
  So you get in that truck, your car, whatever it is that you
• 35:06
  use, you turn it on. You hit depart to depart to
• 35:10
  wrote, that's for povs. What about the government?
• 35:14
  Vehicles, government, you still going to hit depart to route I I
• 35:23
  usually do it after I scan the VMS.
• 35:26
  Can sometimes I do it before ours.
• 35:30
  We thing is in my office, we have vmf skanz the depart to
• 35:34
  Route via truck. Scans insights stickers inside
• 35:38
  the trucks, both depart and return to Unity.
• 35:41
  So Either way, I mean, me personally, I usually hit the
• 35:47
  vmf scan after I hit depart to Route because I hit the parked
• 35:50
  around as I'm walking out the door.
• 35:55
  Oh, you're doing it wrong, then supposed to do it when you're
• 35:59
  when you're sitting in that seat.
• 36:01
  You have your seatbelt, fastened, everything in your
• 36:04
  truck is where it needs to be for you to leave that office.
• 36:07
  And then you you're just before you turn that key on that truck,
• 36:10
  you hit the Parker else but they want our depart route to time to
• 36:14
  match on the 4240. That's why we hit it before we
• 36:17
  walk out the door so we can put that time on the 4240 is or
• 36:20
  walking off the door. We get back to Daisuki.
• 36:24
  Scanners are not our 4240 and are not to be used as our 4240.
• 36:32
  Which is the same same argument for the clock in that the
• 36:35
  Union's having. I just write it down, carry some
• 36:43
  scrap paper and my truck and I just write it down when they but
• 36:47
  I clock, when I do the departure out and honestly that is the
• 36:51
  scam that I could always trips me out by having two miles that
• 36:55
  had to my purse right to my first box.
• 36:57
  And the number of times I've been halfway through it and go
• 37:01
  Damn, I forgot to do the part to Route.
• 37:03
  Only a two mile depends on the road.
• 37:05
  Sometimes I have 10 to 12 miles. I do.
• 37:12
  But no. All right.
• 37:14
  Yes, so while you're hitting just before you turn the key on
• 37:23
  the vehicle, yes. And for US government vehicles.
• 37:28
  We also have to hit for mileage to the Emma.
• 37:31
  Graham of skinny vmf family. We don't call a week.
• 37:38
  We have what the hell gonna our Tsar Bomba.
• 37:42
  There's this vmf but yeah, same difference.
• 37:44
  So so yes, you have that and you have The lady, part 2 route.
• 37:51
  So departure out just before you turn the key.
• 37:54
  Return. Only thing you can do the VMS
• 37:57
  cans only so they can record the mileage of the truck.
• 38:03
  Has changed in the scanner where before when you would scan, it
• 38:07
  would ask you, if you want to change or accept the beginning
• 38:10
  mileage. And it's not asking that anymore
• 38:14
  and at the end if let's say I ran two routes with the same
• 38:18
  vehicle and it would always tell me that I exceeded the amount
• 38:23
  for the original route that I did all my scans and, you know,
• 38:27
  went back to to scan the truck back and it would tell me if I
• 38:30
  say, it doesn't do any of that anymore, created, or outside the
• 38:38
  rain? Yeah, I'm not getting that
• 38:40
  anymore. It's a three mile range on that.
• 38:44
  It's tied to the route that's on the scanner.
• 38:47
  Yeah. But I'm just saying I'm not
• 38:49
  getting those notices anymore. Are you running the the POV
• 38:53
  route on the second part and changing the route on the
• 38:55
  scanner running? I'm just saying I'm running the
• 39:00
  yellow, these all the routes. I'm not no longer getting the
• 39:07
  initial when you hit depart to route on the depart to Route
• 39:13
  barcode for the government vehicles.
• 39:17
  Before it would ask you, if you want to change, or accept the
• 39:19
  beginning mileage, it's not doing that anymore.
• 39:23
  It just has it just has the beginning, mileage up there the
• 39:26
  vehicle number and then you just kind of look at it and hit
• 39:29
  enter. And then once you return to
• 39:33
  unit, And you scan return to units barcode for the
• 39:40
  government. Vehicle is no longer prompting
• 39:43
  me when I run a route and a half or two routes with that
• 39:46
  government vehicle that I am over the mileage.
• 39:49
  So just putting that out there. There has been a slight change.
• 39:53
  All right, I did notice that. But it didn't quick for the
• 39:57
  beginning mileage that it just says except our edit does it
• 40:01
  just you know, that I have to actually and turned out?
• 40:04
  Yeah, one. But I only one my route.
• 40:10
  So I don't have to worry about me being outside of the limits
• 40:16
  for the return so yeah, being an RCA stuff to read everything.
• 40:20
  So alright return to D you. You, you must select the return
• 40:25
  to D you, after returning to the office stopping the vehicle by
• 40:30
  turning off the key, after all route delivery is completed.
• 40:34
  This Begins the time of timing of end of shift duties, so you
• 40:39
  get in you park that truck. Now.
• 40:44
  There are a couple exceptions to this, depending on your office,
• 40:49
  your end of shifts Duty, start to where you are unloading.
• 40:55
  So, in my office, we park it. I pull it back into my spot, on
• 41:00
  the dock. I put the car or put the vehicle
• 41:04
  in park. I turn off the ignition.
• 41:06
  I hit return to Du and then I scan the barcode for for vehicle
• 41:15
  maintenance. now, if you have a spot, that's not parked like
• 41:20
  that and you pull up to wherever your location is to pull up to
• 41:26
  do that route, you know, drop off your return mail, any of
• 41:31
  your Parcels jet brought back collected, notice left
• 41:35
  equipment, unloading all that stuff that is when you're going
• 41:38
  to hit the return to 2D, you And then that's, you're going to
• 41:43
  start that actual clock time for that.
• 41:45
  And then that actual clock time is also going to include parking
• 41:49
  that vehicle into its assigned spot when you have completed.
• 41:55
  The downloading or whatever that process is that your office may
• 41:59
  have? If you're not parked on the
• 42:01
  dock, like some offices are So you then after you hit your
• 42:09
  return to Du, you do all of your into shift duties that includes.
• 42:14
  All your collected, mail your return mail, you notice left
• 42:18
  Parcels, your any notices for carnivals and your postage dues,
• 42:24
  whether it's money collected, notice left case in up anything
• 42:28
  that you couldn't deliver that day, do it all up, block box
• 42:31
  weather, holds anything that you're going to do on your end
• 42:36
  of shift. Duties are all done prior to
• 42:39
  clocking out. You're going to clock out and
• 42:44
  read upon return, the scanner to the cradle and departing the
• 42:48
  delivery unit for the day. After all your work activities
• 42:51
  are completed. So, that is those six required
• 42:57
  scans, your clock in your start load and load, depart to Route
• 43:02
  return to do you. And clock out out of those six.
• 43:06
  Start loading and load are the ones that you can have multiples
• 43:11
  of for the day and then we have the additional one.
• 43:18
  Yeah. Go over the additional ones
• 43:20
  James. Sir, let me let me speak on the
• 43:23
  return to D you for a second here.
• 43:25
  The main things you want to focus on here is this is
• 43:28
  everything. You do your markups in the
• 43:31
  afternoon, you do your edit book, you do your labels,
• 43:35
  everything that is maintenance for your route, you do on p.m.
• 43:41
  near return to D you. If you have to file a grievance,
• 43:46
  you do it on your return to be you time.
• 43:49
  You want to get paid for doing. Doing that.
• 43:51
  Because that is actually part of your job duties is to maintain
• 43:56
  to file your union materials for work-related activities under
• 44:02
  your return to Du time. That is a major major contention
• 44:08
  with a lot of offices. I've heard PM's telling carriers
• 44:11
  they have five minutes to get out of the office.
• 44:15
  No, if you look at the PO 603 lists all of your return to your
• 44:20
  end of shift duties in the PO. 603 if you can do those duties
• 44:26
  in 5 minutes, it takes you 15 minutes or it takes you 30
• 44:30
  minutes, it takes What It Takes. And if management keeps trying
• 44:34
  to push you at 525 minutes out of there, tell them that you
• 44:38
  have to finish your PO, 603 into shift duties and if they push
• 44:42
  it, tell them you're going to have to file a grievance on it.
• 44:45
  Because that is not right, it is not correct to make sure you are
• 44:48
  doing all of your industry of duties.
• 44:51
  Before you clock out, also with the system, your DPM updates and
• 44:57
  your LTM updates are also supposed to be done on end of
• 45:01
  shift, duties, if that facilitator management is not
• 45:06
  available on end of shift, duties to do those updates with
• 45:10
  you once a month, they have to pay you 8127 time to do them in
• 45:16
  the morning. And they have for, they have to
• 45:20
  give you a route assistant for that time.
• 45:24
  One of the two Okay, under the additionals.
• 45:29
  All right, the first one is out to lunch.
• 45:35
  This is when you are taking a break, this is not for bathroom
• 45:40
  breaks. This is not for doing other
• 45:47
  carrier. Required activities.
• 45:49
  That management requires you to do like, filling out forms, or
• 45:53
  whatever, in your truck, or at the, OR at the Office or
• 45:56
  anything like that. They're like, oh, punch out for
• 45:58
  lunch to do this. You don't do that.
• 46:02
  Anything work-related is on the clock.
• 46:05
  He's a brakes. Are you take 5 minutes because
• 46:08
  you got too hot in the Lov? You know, that's an out to lunch
• 46:11
  period. Although they say she's bait,
• 46:13
  they some people say that, that should be on the clock because
• 46:16
  management tells you to cool off in the heat, but Comfort stuff.
• 46:24
  Yeah, come first stop. But bathroom breaks are an on
• 46:28
  the clock thing. This is a federal law and the
• 46:32
  post office tried to say no, you got to clock out for lunch.
• 46:35
  If you're going to go to the bathroom federal law, actually
• 46:39
  states, that your bathroom breaks are on the clock.
• 46:42
  Don't let management pressure you into that.
• 46:44
  It says it on both the Union's, quick reference guide and
• 46:49
  Management's, quick reference guide.
• 46:50
  They both say bathroom breaks are not on out to lunch thing.
• 46:54
  This is Recon. Activity scan does not include
• 46:57
  restroom breaks. Yeah, return to lunch.
• 47:01
  If you doing out to lunch, you do a return to lunch.
• 47:04
  Now, these two scans, you have some managers that are telling
• 47:07
  carriers, they have to take a lunch break every day.
• 47:10
  You are not required to take a lunch break at all, but there's
• 47:17
  a caveat to this. These are also hands that you
• 47:22
  can do multiple times and each scan that you do is a credit to
• 47:29
  your 4241. Every rural activity scan, you
• 47:34
  do is a credit. So if you want to take a 5
• 47:38
  minute break here and there or you take a five minute break
• 47:40
  here and there that you never recorded before start taking
• 47:44
  them, get the scan credits for it.
• 47:46
  You know, if you go out onto a doctor smoke, when you're doing
• 47:50
  your morning shift, that's an out to lunch time, you're not
• 47:54
  doing actual work, you should be punching out and back from lunch
• 47:57
  for that. So make sure if you are doing
• 48:00
  anything other than work-related stuff you do, you're out to
• 48:03
  lunch and returned from lunch scan, you guys have anything on
• 48:08
  this if you stop and go to your neighbors case to talk to them
• 48:14
  for even a minute. Technically that's break time
• 48:18
  unless you're talking about work, and I'll see you in what,
• 48:21
  right? Unless it's work or ending
• 48:23
  something off or keep getting something from them for your
• 48:26
  route, their route. But if it's just, hey, how was
• 48:29
  your weekend? Technically that's break time
• 48:34
  and that's extra scans for you, but also the lunch period, you
• 48:40
  get 30 minutes. However, you add it up, if 30
• 48:44
  minutes, doesn't matter if you, take 1 minute 30 times through
• 48:48
  the day or you, or you take to 15 minutes or you take one,
• 48:53
  30-minute 30 minutes is the lunch break, it's Federal
• 48:57
  Regulations, 30 minutes for a lunch for eight hours of work,
• 49:00
  kind of thing. So 30 minutes is about the time
• 49:04
  you get, if you're 31 32, they're not going to say too
• 49:06
  much, but if you're taking two hours, they're probably going to
• 49:09
  definitely have a sit-down talk with you about.
• 49:11
  Why are you taking so many breaks and easiest argument is
• 49:15
  it was 100 degrees outside and I was taking cooling break.
• 49:20
  Just to give you an Apple, the Apple launched ones major
• 49:24
  contention in my office, because of the fact that people will
• 49:27
  stop by the highway contractors and talk about the latest
• 49:31
  television series or watching the, they'll be catching up on
• 49:35
  what happened over the weekend, you know, at all these things
• 49:39
  and I explained to them, these are breaks and you have to
• 49:43
  record them. But it's only a minute or two.
• 49:46
  I said they're measuring down to the ten thousandths of a second.
• 49:49
  So a minute. To is a million 10,000.
• 49:52
  Okay, so just realize, if you're going to put, take a break, good
• 49:57
  five minutes down, put 10 minutes down, you wish that time
• 50:01
  anyway, you know, through the course of the day but put
• 50:04
  something down in those scans. Benefit your route overall.
• 50:11
  Alright, the next one is another one that was in the contention
• 50:15
  throughout the whole situation for some people and that is the
• 50:19
  start deviation and in deviation start deviation.
• 50:25
  You pull up to a roof. We talked about this in a
• 50:27
  previous episode. We start deviation, you get
• 50:31
  called by management to do Express.
• 50:35
  As soon as you are ready to pull away from that, mailbox, before
• 50:39
  you turn that wheel before you put it into drive, if you're
• 50:41
  parked any of that, you hit start deviations direct drive.
• 50:46
  Back to the post office, pick up the express, drive back to your
• 50:51
  route. If the express was before where
• 50:54
  you are, we're at in your route, go deliver it, and then come
• 50:58
  back to that box. Once you return to that box,
• 51:02
  then un deviation. If the express is after that
• 51:07
  mailbox, you just returned to the Box.
• 51:10
  Hit in deviation and deliver your route expresses are
• 51:15
  delivered by 6 p.m. unless the customer pays extra for a 3 p.m.
• 51:21
  delivery and management should be able to tell the difference
• 51:24
  between a 6 p.m. and a 3 p.m. delivery time on the express is
• 51:29
  and let you know if you don't think you'll make it there in
• 51:32
  time that would be be another deviation.
• 51:37
  So if you get it in the in the morning, with your mail, as
• 51:40
  you're going out to load your truck, You get out to your
• 51:43
  route, you go. Oh crap.
• 51:45
  I'm not going to make it there in time to deliver this by 3
• 51:48
  p.m. or at Christmas time 6, p.m. or even right now.
• 51:52
  If you're running two routes like some of our other carriers
• 51:54
  out there Kristen, you don't think you don't think you'll
• 51:58
  make it by 6 p.m. as soon as you realize that hit start deviation
• 52:05
  run over to that address deliver that Express driver right back
• 52:09
  to that last box Hit N. Ian.
• 52:13
  There is no other use for the deviations.
• 52:17
  Can't accept expressed. That's it.
• 52:21
  And the last one in this section is p.m. casing quite the
• 52:26
  controversy. This one.
• 52:29
  Another kind of these are almost all these scans have been
• 52:32
  controversial, but p.m. casing. So this is how it works.
• 52:38
  And how they've been taking saying it in the most recent
• 52:41
  edition of this is how Rex works.
• 52:44
  And if I'm going to call it, this is how refworks this week.
• 52:47
  So currently, the p.m. casing is two options.
• 52:53
  First Option here, is that you get back.
• 52:58
  Back to your office. You finish all your end of Duty
• 53:02
  tasks for the day. All of them, the PO. 603 end of
• 53:08
  shift duties. You finish all of those?
• 53:11
  Then p.m. casing. Then if you are a p.m. casing
• 53:18
  office, that's when you start casing your mail, I don't
• 53:22
  believe there are many p.m. casing offices out there.
• 53:24
  Somebody can correct me on that, but a lot of offs of done away
• 53:28
  with p.m. casing because of mail volume.
• 53:32
  So that would be the one use of it.
• 53:35
  The other use of it is for S trips.
• 53:40
  Or for ox rail carriers running Express.
• 53:46
  This is the contention Point here, the running Express for ox
• 53:50
  routes, the only reason why you're doing it on p.m. casing
• 53:53
  is because you should be paid 1314 a time on that your green
• 53:57
  card time. For the express delivery p.m.
• 54:02
  casing for second trips in the same thing, you do your end of
• 54:06
  shift duties. That means bring all your stuff
• 54:09
  in from your truck. Bringing everything from your
• 54:12
  truck back into the office. Putting everything away doing
• 54:16
  your edit, book grievances, whatever first then hit p.m.
• 54:22
  casing. Start load vehicle.
• 54:26
  Take your second trip out to your truck.
• 54:30
  Finish loading your truck, take the conveyance back pocket.
• 54:34
  Walk back to your case and hit end load vehicle.
• 54:40
  Then walk back out all of this under p.m. casing.
• 54:45
  That's the only two purposes of p.m. casing right now is actual
• 54:50
  p.m. casing or second trip for anybody in your second trip, to
• 54:56
  be paid in the standard second trip rate and written down on
• 55:01
  your 4240. Anything on that guy's, I will
• 55:07
  include. I know we had during one of our
• 55:10
  snow storms this year. My postmaster wanted to tell
• 55:13
  everybody anything that they brought back from the route when
• 55:16
  they got back to hit p.m. casing.
• 55:18
  I had to correct her to inform her that p.m. casing is for the
• 55:25
  next day's mail. Not mail that you bring back
• 55:28
  that day. And that is all under end of
• 55:32
  shift borders. Yeah, we could part of the PO
• 55:35
  603 into fifth duties and email you, bring back is to the pace.
• 55:40
  Yeah, yeah. So don't let them argue with
• 55:44
  that. So, there's that would be the
• 55:47
  next one. We're the ones that were
• 55:49
  contentions in my office, that I oppose me.
• 55:53
  The only thing I would say in regards to, with, for the second
• 56:00
  trip, if you know, after everything's done, you switch to
• 56:07
  p.m. casing, you hit. Start load if it's only two
• 56:10
  packages. And they're smaller.
• 56:14
  You're welcome out, you know you pick them up, welcome out to
• 56:16
  your truck and as soon as you get in the truck and load could
• 56:19
  you just going to set them down on the tray or in the seat next
• 56:23
  year and go? And you do not hit the Parker
• 56:28
  out again, correct? All right.
• 56:35
  Saturation section like this one's bills.
• 56:39
  Favorite one. The biggest is the one that's
• 56:43
  actually the biggest biggest influencer on people's route.
• 56:47
  So, these this, these are the ones that you're listening, you
• 56:50
  need to pay attention to. All right, I'm going to start
• 56:53
  this off. This is your saturation scans
• 56:56
  Flats WSS. If a flat saturation mailing
• 57:03
  identified as walk sequence has an address and has not been
• 57:09
  processed on automation equipment.
• 57:11
  Don't use this key stroke once to record each set, select
• 57:16
  either one residents only or to all deliveries.
• 57:20
  That means if you have businesses and residents and
• 57:25
  that W, SS has a sheet on it that says residents only, you
• 57:32
  would choose one if it says residents and businesses.
• 57:38
  For all you would then choose all deliveries.
• 57:42
  If it's case the afternoon before the delivery day record
• 57:46
  on delivery day. So this if it's cased under your
• 57:48
  p.m. casing the night before, you're not going to record that
• 57:52
  WSS until the day, you deliver it a set delivered over.
• 57:58
  Several days, should be recorded only once on the first day of
• 58:01
  delivery. So if there's a reason that
• 58:04
  they're going to let you I would say my instance we've get em
• 58:09
  smart em, Sparks on Tuesdays. The last Tuesday of the month
• 58:14
  specifically, I know sometimes if we have newer are Cas or in
• 58:19
  my case, if I'm running more than one route.
• 58:22
  And I have to take em Sparks out on the full route and the zip
• 58:27
  code for my Ox route does not get him Sparks.
• 58:30
  Sometimes they will let me just do half of them one day and then
• 58:35
  the Keratin whoever's running that route.
• 58:38
  The next day we'll take out the other half.
• 58:40
  You're only gonna do That that's can wants.
• 58:45
  So if it's something that's addressed Flats a sus is
• 58:49
  addressed as an address on it letter s WS.
• 58:56
  S is a letter saturation, mailing again, same thing as the
• 59:01
  flat WSS, the walk sequence. Pretty much the same thing.
• 59:07
  Resident, you choose residents only or two for all deliveries.
• 59:12
  Case the afternoon before delivery day record on delivery
• 59:15
  day, set delivered over several days record only once on the
• 59:19
  first day of delivery, so that made me become that too when you
• 59:24
  get done. So, so the Ws us scan is for
• 59:32
  technically A walk sequence. So it's a box holder with an
• 59:38
  address has to have the address and the Ws us on it.
• 59:46
  And did you want to speak on the SS or the Box holders itself?
• 59:50
  The WSS actually go ahead. So in my office, we had a
• 59:56
  carrier who decided to tell everybody that.
• 1:00:01
  Hey, my family's in this other office and they're doing it this
• 1:00:06
  way. And it seems to be the way that
• 1:00:08
  they get. All their information is from
• 1:00:10
  their family members about the ways to cheat the system.
• 1:00:15
  And RPM actually had a second service talk that day.
• 1:00:21
  She had one that she had to do that day.
• 1:00:23
  She actually made a second service talk to address this.
• 1:00:27
  The keywords in this is not processed on automation.
• 1:00:33
  Now it says it under both the flats and letter because when
• 1:00:36
  they wrote this we were still getting FSS plaque that ended on
• 1:00:40
  January 1st. So WSS is not going to be
• 1:00:43
  processed on Automation in the flat size but it's still going
• 1:00:48
  to show up in your DPS. Yes.
• 1:00:51
  Now we get we get a letter of saturation.
• 1:00:57
  For businesses and residential in our office Val packs.
• 1:01:01
  I don't know how Nationwide that is, but there is Val packs.
• 1:01:06
  You get a coupon book. It seems like twice a week.
• 1:01:09
  Now at this point, almost or every two weeks, excuse me,
• 1:01:13
  every two weeks, you get a Valpak in ours, and sometimes
• 1:01:18
  they come in the DPS, Sometimes they come in separate trays,
• 1:01:22
  it's when they come in separate trays that they count for a scan
• 1:01:26
  in. Your scanner if you are
• 1:01:29
  inputting them, when they're in your DPS are postmaster actually
• 1:01:34
  said that is a falsification of scans and can lead to
• 1:01:38
  discipline. So don't do it.
• 1:01:41
  Protect yourself only scan them when they're separate.
• 1:01:46
  They come in their own separate bundles, from a truck that
• 1:01:49
  delivers them by themselves, definitely scan them.
• 1:01:53
  But if they come in your DPS, Don't scan them, another
• 1:01:58
  contention they had was the wsh one only more James.
• 1:02:05
  This is great. Let's go back to the Valpak,
• 1:02:08
  okay? Because that's when he
• 1:02:09
  contention, we will often get them in our DPS, but not all of
• 1:02:14
  them because I've had because of the fold on their of the the
• 1:02:19
  label, the flap feeds into the machine.
• 1:02:23
  It often James machine. So the It will stop running them
• 1:02:28
  and send several trays of them to the office in their sleeves.
• 1:02:34
  At that moment, we enter them into our WSS count.
• 1:02:40
  Yeah. Because you're not going to get
• 1:02:41
  any other credit for it because they're not counting them at the
• 1:02:45
  plant because they screwed up the machine and they said screw
• 1:02:48
  it. We're not going to deal with
• 1:02:48
  this anymore. We'll just send it off as Raw.
• 1:02:52
  So you would want to get that credit on there and it's and
• 1:02:54
  that's why we're going into wsh. You know, we talked about this
• 1:02:58
  in a previous podcast. Also the wsh you know if you got
• 1:03:02
  60% coverage of your route and you get it twice, you got a
• 1:03:07
  hundred and twenty percent of your route there.
• 1:03:10
  So would you do it WS? S can for that.
• 1:03:16
  We can trust what you do but that one would definitely be a
• 1:03:25
  carrier discretion scan as long as you have some truth to back
• 1:03:30
  it up. Like I'm delivering almost every
• 1:03:33
  address on my route and I'm not getting credit for them.
• 1:03:36
  I want to get a credit for him so I did a saturation Scamp for
• 1:03:39
  it, that's up to you. We cannot say whether you should
• 1:03:43
  or should not do that. It's carrier.
• 1:03:45
  Aggression. And this and the wsh is a high
• 1:03:50
  density up to 80%. So you can actually cover your
• 1:03:56
  route in three days with three items twice and not get credit
• 1:04:01
  for them. Yep.
• 1:04:03
  Yep. Yep.
• 1:04:05
  So where were the engineers when they figure that one out.
• 1:04:09
  Well somebody said on the thing we think it's they created wsh
• 1:04:13
  is a way to screw carriers out of money.
• 1:04:15
  Yes, sir. Go ahead Flats box holders.
• 1:04:22
  If a flat saturation mailing does not have an address.
• 1:04:27
  These would be the ones that just say, Paul still customer
• 1:04:30
  for an example. No address postal customer.
• 1:04:37
  Use this keystroke, once to record, each set of box holders,
• 1:04:42
  select either one for residents, only or two for all deliveries.
• 1:04:46
  Usually these ones will also come in with that scan sheet or
• 1:04:51
  whatever the whoever Senate amount has with it.
• 1:04:55
  And it'll tell you whether it's all deliveries or residents only
• 1:05:01
  If Casey afternoon before delivery record on the day of
• 1:05:04
  delivery asset delivered over several days, recorded only once
• 1:05:08
  on the first day of delivery. That's four flats letter box
• 1:05:14
  holder as well. If a letter saturation mailing
• 1:05:18
  does not have an address and says postal customer use this
• 1:05:24
  key stroke. Once to record each set of box
• 1:05:27
  holders, select either resident, only or two for all deliveries.
• 1:05:32
  If case in the afternoon before delivery under p.m.
• 1:05:35
  Casey Record on the delivery day and they set delivered over.
• 1:05:40
  Several days should be recorded only once on the first day.
• 1:05:44
  I'm also going to add with the flat s with both the W SS and
• 1:05:49
  the Box holders. If you are splitting a route,
• 1:05:54
  only one carrier needs to enter in the Box holder or the WSS for
• 1:06:00
  the intro carrier who have for scanner for that route.
• 1:06:05
  Yes, Corner. Yes, Yes.
• 1:06:07
  It's a route is being if a route.
• 1:06:10
  Now, I'll kind of go over the splitting routes, maybe not
• 1:06:15
  tonight, but the way do have, I don't, my state union, put it
• 1:06:20
  together for the proper procedure for splitting routes.
• 1:06:25
  So I know I think I have posted it a few groups when people have
• 1:06:29
  asked that questions for it. So but that is your W SS and
• 1:06:33
  your box holders, both flats and letters.
• 1:06:36
  The differences. The W SS is has not been
• 1:06:40
  processed on Automation, and it is addressed and box holders.
• 1:06:47
  Do not have an address. And that process don't
• 1:06:50
  automation, obviously, too. And it's right note here, I
• 1:06:56
  remember everybody in our management team saying we could
• 1:06:59
  throw a little measuring tools away.
• 1:07:01
  If people don't remember the blue rulers.
• 1:07:04
  Yeah, if you notice, there are, there are measurements on our
• 1:07:08
  sheets here for your cheat sheet.
• 1:07:11
  That, yo, say, what of the letter, what is the flat?
• 1:07:15
  And in our office we are giving a lot of these oversized
• 1:07:19
  postcard, mailings and their box holders.
• 1:07:22
  And they are 6 and 1/2 inches tall.
• 1:07:27
  That is a flat folks. So yeah, she's asking if it's a
• 1:07:31
  box holder but it's labeled WSS. If it says postal and I had
• 1:07:37
  actually one of these not too long ago, and one of the routes
• 1:07:41
  Iran, it said postal customer, but also on the top, it had the
• 1:07:46
  ECW SS. There is no address.
• 1:07:50
  It is a box holder. Mary have mail when you get a
• 1:07:55
  card with them when the card has the address and the flat bundle
• 1:08:01
  doesn't have doesn't have the address.
• 1:08:03
  That also says e CR W SS on it, so it's going to say it but it
• 1:08:08
  just doesn't have the address listed on it.
• 1:08:11
  Correct? So that tooth can yes, yeah.
• 1:08:18
  It's the car. And you get two credits for that
• 1:08:28
  day. All right.
• 1:08:31
  And you throw it to pieces of mail.
• 1:08:33
  Yes, you are. Delivery is our next section.
• 1:08:40
  You know there were yeah, sure, sure.
• 1:08:45
  All right, brick, the door. This is if you take more than
• 1:08:50
  one trip to the door with Parcels, especially Amazon, if
• 1:08:56
  you're delivering people their dog food and then you also have
• 1:08:58
  to deliver their task food or their cat litter, and you have
• 1:09:01
  to take multiple trips. Don't break your back.
• 1:09:05
  Grab a parcel, carry it to the door, scan it, go back.
• 1:09:08
  Grab the next parcel, carrier to the door scan it as many times
• 1:09:13
  as you need to when you are done with those multiple trips.
• 1:09:18
  Finish the scan out and then turn around and hit trip to door
• 1:09:22
  and enter the number trip to Door.
• 1:09:25
  Actually allows I believe it's 99 trips.
• 1:09:29
  Non-credit 99. Okay, there used to be two
• 1:09:33
  slots. I guess they adjusted it when I
• 1:09:36
  first started doing the Scandal was two slots and I guess they
• 1:09:39
  took it down to one so you get nine trip.
• 1:09:42
  If you do more than nine trips, do a second one.
• 1:09:46
  The first trip is included in the account.
• 1:09:51
  So if you do a traditional trip, you've put in nine, your first
• 1:09:56
  trip is counted but you still put nine in the in the scanner.
• 1:10:01
  Your miscellaneous. Oh, go ahead.
• 1:10:05
  Also on the Just over pick up and you have to make more than
• 1:10:12
  one trip to take to pick up all the packages.
• 1:10:15
  You would also use trip to door for that as well.
• 1:10:19
  I was actually going to talk about that indoor miscellaneous.
• 1:10:22
  Well, it says right here, if Beyond a single trip to required
• 1:10:27
  to deliver or collect items to from customer, Yeah, door.
• 1:10:34
  Yeah Sodor, miscellaneous. This is for completing trips to
• 1:10:38
  door where there is no item available for scanning or parcel
• 1:10:41
  for delivery. Example, hold mail delivery.
• 1:10:47
  Well they changed what a hold mail delivery would be if you're
• 1:10:50
  doing a trick to add or if it's over eight pieces, it's
• 1:10:53
  considered a parcel. So technically, if you're
• 1:10:57
  delivering hold mail to at the door, it'd be over eight pieces.
• 1:11:01
  So it would be a parcel. So you'd have that initial trip
• 1:11:04
  to door when you put deliver to door.
• 1:11:08
  So, I've actually been using the door miscellaneous can from my
• 1:11:12
  parcel pickups, so that way, it differentiates from a parcel
• 1:11:17
  delivery. Now this is not like like
• 1:11:21
  Kristen said, it is not what it says in the sheet, but there's
• 1:11:26
  no other use for this door. Miscellaneous can since the
• 1:11:29
  holds are now put under as a parcel.
• 1:11:33
  It went and what you scam is a parcel.
• 1:11:35
  It'll prompt you where you delivered, it's okay.
• 1:11:38
  All right. Yes, exactly.
• 1:11:40
  So if you're delivering it to the door you can put it deliver
• 1:11:43
  to door. Or if you put it in the mailbox,
• 1:11:45
  put it in that mailbox. Kind of thing, or if you get
• 1:11:48
  handed to the customer, you handed over customer.
• 1:11:52
  So door, miscellaneous is for all intents and purposes, and
• 1:11:57
  unused scan. Now, unless you choose to use it
• 1:12:00
  for parcel pickups, so that way, You can differentiate when
• 1:12:04
  management ask you. Why do you have this here?
• 1:12:07
  Well that's so I can show you that.
• 1:12:09
  I picked up our holes at the door.
• 1:12:10
  Versus picking them versus delivering purple for the door.
• 1:12:16
  Authorized also hold on one more thing for door miscellaneous.
• 1:12:21
  If you have, I know if I have photos something that's not
• 1:12:26
  quite rigid, but you don't want to bend it, you know, Lifetouch
• 1:12:29
  sends out the photos. Now in the mail and they don't
• 1:12:32
  have a boxer General, don't wanna bend it.
• 1:12:37
  Then you want to take it to the door.
• 1:12:39
  That would be a dormice gallinas as well.
• 1:12:42
  Well. That's further down to uh I was
• 1:12:46
  actually going to get to that. Also, next one is authorized
• 1:12:53
  Dismount off Dismount. If an authorized Dismount
• 1:12:58
  location requires additional trips Beyond initial trip to
• 1:13:03
  complete delivery applies. Only to authorized Dismount
• 1:13:07
  locations which are typically a business school.
• 1:13:12
  Phoebe you Mailrooms things like that, those are authorized
• 1:13:18
  Dismount hardship Dismount. Those are all authorized this
• 1:13:21
  month. They are places.
• 1:13:24
  You are authorized to get out of the truck to deliver the mail.
• 1:13:29
  So, if you are delivering to a business and you have multiple
• 1:13:33
  Parcels for them, you can you are to use the authorized
• 1:13:38
  Dismount not the trip to door. If you deliver their mail to
• 1:13:43
  them at the counter and you're doing multiple parcel trips to
• 1:13:46
  them, to, you still are going to do the tender 2 or 10 or to
• 1:13:52
  authorized agent or front desk mail room with the scanner. but
• 1:13:58
  it's still also an authorized Dismount CB use when you deliver
• 1:14:04
  to a CB, you take as much mail as you can safely carry to
• 1:14:10
  deliver to the CB, you if you have to go back to the truck to
• 1:14:15
  reload for that same, CB you That's a second authorized
• 1:14:21
  Dismount trip. That would be recorded under
• 1:14:24
  this. If you have multiple CPUs
• 1:14:28
  together and it takes you one trip /, CB you, you've already
• 1:14:32
  got the authorized this melts for each CPU if you map them in
• 1:14:36
  your mapping program. The only time you would get a
• 1:14:41
  multiple authorized Dismounts to to a CB you if you have multiple
• 1:14:47
  trips to the exact same CBU. If you're delivering to the
• 1:14:51
  parcel Locker, you automatically get the credit of an authorized
• 1:14:56
  Dismount there for the parcel Locker.
• 1:14:59
  The extra authorized Dismount for the parcel Locker.
• 1:15:02
  So, you wouldn't have to include that in there.
• 1:15:09
  An extra comments on that. I'm not I'll miss that.
• 1:15:17
  I did the extra. The parcel lockers is an extra
• 1:15:20
  trip. Oh, I'm trying.
• 1:15:26
  I'm just trying to unpack that a little bit.
• 1:15:41
  Parcel lockers separate from the CPU or the partial a great neck
• 1:15:47
  for the CPU. If it's credited to the CPU
• 1:15:49
  section that you're at. So say you have the first CPU
• 1:15:54
  and you attach the parcel lockers to that, you would get
• 1:15:57
  do if you scan a parcel for the parcel Locker, it gives you that
• 1:16:01
  trip from your truck to that parcel Locker on the authorized
• 1:16:05
  this melt supposedly. All right here and there's that
• 1:16:11
  word again. Yeah, unfortunately that's a
• 1:16:14
  word. We've learned to use a lot in
• 1:16:16
  this situation because we don't have the actual numbers and
• 1:16:20
  anybody that foia request the entire comprehensive study of
• 1:16:23
  the wreck system gets a redacted version where 90% of its black
• 1:16:27
  towel like it, some height high top secret government document
• 1:16:32
  Yeah. James I got a question in the
• 1:16:39
  chat to. So all right, well real quick
• 1:16:42
  and then I'll let you get to what was typed out.
• 1:16:47
  Yep. Let's say I have one Park point
• 1:16:49
  with will say, just to make the math easy for CB use, like,
• 1:16:55
  boom, boom, boom, boom, with with the wheel.
• 1:16:59
  They from the truck. To the first one across and then
• 1:17:04
  back to the truck and then obviously with mapping you from
• 1:17:06
  the distance for each of each. One, two, three, four on
• 1:17:13
  Tuesday, we'll marriage male day where it takes me twice for each
• 1:17:17
  set of doors. So I go in there and do
• 1:17:22
  authorized system is that? That should be one authorized
• 1:17:26
  discount because I'm mapped one time or my distance is one time
• 1:17:32
  from the truck to that set and then back.
• 1:17:35
  Yes. So here's the hard part about
• 1:17:40
  this. Our GPS is in our scanners, we
• 1:17:44
  have a single Source GPS in our scanners military uses to
• 1:17:49
  Source. GPS scanners single Source GPS,
• 1:17:53
  scanners are accurate. At most two, a proximity of 30
• 1:17:57
  feet at most on average, they're accurate to within 150 feet.
• 1:18:04
  So when you're looking at your CPUs and they're all close
• 1:18:08
  together, my recommendation and this is not coming from anybody.
• 1:18:13
  Other than myself, my recommendation is at your
• 1:18:18
  authorized Dismount. If you take one trip to your CD,
• 1:18:20
  you you have to take a second one.
• 1:18:23
  Then you go to see BU number two, and you take two trips
• 1:18:25
  there and see if you three take two trips there.
• 1:18:28
  See, before you take two trips. Are you for CB use?
• 1:18:31
  I would input authorized. Aunt 8 because you get that
• 1:18:38
  initial trip, plus your second trip input into the authorized
• 1:18:43
  Dismount. And the only reason I say that
• 1:18:46
  is because you want it to record that you did two trips to each
• 1:18:49
  CPU in this section because of how close in GPS is.
• 1:18:54
  It's not going to register which see BU you took the second trip
• 1:18:57
  to Now, if you have a standalone see BU and you go to other CB
• 1:19:03
  use trailer park where each CPU for a neighborhood is at the end
• 1:19:07
  of the trailer row then. Yeah you're going to do the
• 1:19:10
  authorized Dismount for that specific CD you Now, the
• 1:19:15
  question that was in the in the gas does any business qualify in
• 1:19:24
  general as an authorized Dismount?
• 1:19:27
  No. Businesses can have mailboxes on
• 1:19:32
  the street and if you deliver something and you will use the
• 1:19:38
  specific scan for that if you're delivering a package or
• 1:19:41
  delivering a parcel or delivering hold mail with the
• 1:19:45
  unscanned parcel, which is the next one, we'll talk about that
• 1:19:50
  will have its own input for that and you should have marked its
• 1:19:53
  dis Park point and it's door delivery at the location.
• 1:19:57
  You drop the mail. So if you call it Hide the
• 1:19:59
  building and you go to the, let's say it's an auto
• 1:20:03
  dealership so you park in the front of the building and you
• 1:20:06
  have to have walk halfway back into the back of the building to
• 1:20:09
  drop it off at the cashier's desk.
• 1:20:12
  Do you want a plot that door delivery all the way back?
• 1:20:17
  Where approximately, where that cashier's desk is, you want that
• 1:20:20
  footage that you're walking in that business?
• 1:20:22
  But know, if it has a mailbox on the street that you normally
• 1:20:26
  deliver to? It is not an authorized this -
• 1:20:29
  Mount. This is only for businesses,
• 1:20:34
  hardships, and things like that. Where you are authorized to get
• 1:20:40
  out of the truck every single day, to deliver your delivering
• 1:20:44
  mail to a mailbox, almost all the time.
• 1:20:46
  And then you get out once a week to deliver a package there, it's
• 1:20:49
  not an authorized discount that would be under trusted or if you
• 1:20:52
  do multiple trips on that one. It's actually the wording is on
• 1:20:57
  a daily or weekly basis. So once a week, you have to go
• 1:21:02
  into a business that you will pick up, you would get an
• 1:21:05
  authorized Dismount that one day a week.
• 1:21:11
  Okay, you see I'm saying there? As the the berbers on that is
• 1:21:18
  like consistent basis on a daily or weekly basis is the actual
• 1:21:23
  verbiage. Yeah, of course I have not
• 1:21:26
  listed on this scan sheet so I don't have that I'm looking at
• 1:21:30
  it right now but if that's the case then act that's another
• 1:21:35
  side of it right there and I'll and we'll always default to its
• 1:21:40
  carrier discretion. right, I'm going to say if it's if it's in
• 1:21:45
  your edit Oak and on your for W3 as an authorized dismount, You
• 1:21:54
  get, you can take credit for the authorized sister.
• 1:22:00
  I won't if you have Rivers, if you have a location that you're
• 1:22:03
  constantly going into every single day, you know, you're
• 1:22:08
  constantly every day, it doesn't matter like clockwork.
• 1:22:11
  You always have to go in with a parcel delivery.
• 1:22:15
  The option is there to talk with your postmaster and the customer
• 1:22:19
  and see if they want to become an authorized Dismount location
• 1:22:23
  where you have to go in and actually deliver postmaster,
• 1:22:27
  probably going to go. No, they've got a mailbox.
• 1:22:28
  We don't need to do that, but it's an option that you can
• 1:22:32
  actually go for if the customer wishes to have Everything
• 1:22:36
  delivered in store so they don't have to go out to the mailbox
• 1:22:39
  payment. It's a difficult thing to do but
• 1:22:42
  some it can be done. Anybody else on that or move on?
• 1:22:50
  Well, I'm trying to I'm trying to unpack this again.
• 1:22:54
  So carrier ask me this is kind of specific to my office, his
• 1:23:00
  route. Has the county election office.
• 1:23:07
  And then on Saturday, we had a full coverage in our DPS there's
• 1:23:11
  some sort of election in our County coming up so they mailed
• 1:23:16
  out ballots to everybody over the weekend when they when they
• 1:23:22
  process the mail it comes in. The ballots are kicked out and
• 1:23:28
  they're put into trade that he has to deliver to the county
• 1:23:32
  election office. Can you tell when he doesn't?
• 1:23:34
  Normally normally told me they have a mailbox but when the
• 1:23:39
  election mail he has to have to go around the back and you know,
• 1:23:46
  ring a buzzer and then he hands those off.
• 1:23:50
  So of course, it doesn't happen during the main email survey.
• 1:23:55
  So but is that something he should get measured as an
• 1:24:00
  authorized Dismount because it only happens like, you know,
• 1:24:04
  once every couple years I would somewhat it's scannable parcel
• 1:24:09
  or trip. I would Trey were crazy for tub
• 1:24:21
  jobs. I would say unscannable per each
• 1:24:27
  trait worked out. Yeah.
• 1:24:29
  Uh, Trey would be an unscalable parcel delivery.
• 1:24:32
  That's what I, that's kind of what, I, that's kind of what I
• 1:24:35
  kicked around with them so. Okay, and we're working on my
• 1:24:40
  business. My business is each tray because
• 1:24:44
  I don't feel the mail in The Fray they sort of controls.
• 1:24:48
  For the cartoons. It's me.
• 1:24:50
  I put it in my truck. I take it off the truck and it's
• 1:24:52
  them. And they sort it that, And being
• 1:24:57
  unscannable parcel? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:00
  That's our next great segue, right into the next scan.
• 1:25:04
  Thank you for you think, before it, before you take away.
• 1:25:07
  So, let me just clarify. So if I have just a standalone,
• 1:25:11
  cvu, that's got to parcel Lockers in it, and I can't
• 1:25:15
  handle, and I have several and they're like clockwork.
• 1:25:20
  And put the same ones. Every almost every day that I
• 1:25:22
  can't handle the, the flats and letters and And all of their
• 1:25:28
  their large parcels and small parcel.
• 1:25:31
  And I make two trips in and out of my trucks is to service that
• 1:25:35
  TV. You that authorized Dismount to
• 1:25:41
  rb2. Yes, okay. but I have 51
• 1:25:49
  location where I have two CDs standing together and Sometimes,
• 1:25:55
  you know, depending on the volume of mail and volume of
• 1:25:58
  parcels from time to get outside over the parcels, I get out and
• 1:26:03
  then go back and I get the letter mail.
• 1:26:05
  Sometimes I have to make a trip just to get the full partial and
• 1:26:10
  I just do RV. You know, authorized it's now
• 1:26:14
  two or three or four depending on how many times I have to do
• 1:26:20
  that. So I don't know if on the
• 1:26:23
  parcels It's for the for you to put it as an extra part of the
• 1:26:27
  authorized Dismount, you have to be delivering them in at
• 1:26:31
  mailbox. This is separate from the parcel
• 1:26:35
  Locker. So if you're delivering them
• 1:26:37
  into their mail slot, then it would be part of your authorized
• 1:26:40
  Dismount. But if you're delivering them to
• 1:26:42
  the parcel lockers, the parcel Locker is a separate authorized
• 1:26:46
  Dismount parts. So it's a little bit.
• 1:26:50
  Like I said, it's a little confusing and it's complicated
• 1:26:53
  and it's a Contentious scan as most hands are.
• 1:26:58
  I was trying to explain this to carriers in my office.
• 1:27:02
  We were having a little chat the other day with the supervisor
• 1:27:05
  and they're like, well, it's only a foot from my truck to the
• 1:27:08
  CBU if I'm just in Psych and I said, well, I'm telling you, you
• 1:27:13
  could do it, that's what I do. It's up to you.
• 1:27:18
  If you want to especially, you know, talking to some carriers,
• 1:27:21
  whose routes went down. It's like, well, you know, I
• 1:27:23
  don't do many of Of them. I do maybe two a day, you know,
• 1:27:27
  maybe you know, sometimes three or four like tomorrow.
• 1:27:31
  I'll probably do a bunch. But okay, I'll let you take away
• 1:27:35
  and I forgot. I misspoke.
• 1:27:36
  I should have said, when you do the extra authorized this
• 1:27:38
  mountain, you have multiple CPUs.
• 1:27:40
  It should be 1. Plus the number of additional
• 1:27:43
  trips for every see BU you have. So you get those extra credits
• 1:27:48
  for the extra trip. Instead of saying 84 the 4cv
• 1:27:52
  use. It should have actually been
• 1:27:54
  Five, that was my mistake. I'm correcting it now.
• 1:27:57
  Okay. All right, so now we'll go on to
• 1:28:00
  unscanned parcel use unscanned, parcel when an obvious parcel,
• 1:28:08
  not a letter or a flat, something that fits in your
• 1:28:11
  case, that includes your you lines.
• 1:28:15
  Unless you, I had a barcode on it that you can scan that you
• 1:28:18
  know, there's a barcode there is delivered and has no barcode or
• 1:28:23
  the label. Is missing or completely
• 1:28:25
  unreadable include small, Parcels delivered in the
• 1:28:29
  mailbox. And parcel lockers do not use if
• 1:28:33
  our code is manually entered when delivered.
• 1:28:36
  So if you have a messed-up barcode, that doesn't scan
• 1:28:39
  looking at you Amazon all, there must be a bar codes, but you can
• 1:28:45
  read the numbers on it. You enter the numbers manually.
• 1:28:49
  Now, some of us have learned what the first 8 digits, Our
• 1:28:54
  before it do not enter those, when you punch the numbers and
• 1:28:58
  on the parcel, if you enter those numbers, it's going to
• 1:29:01
  think it, read the barcode on it and you're not going to get the
• 1:29:05
  input credit for inputting the numbers into the scanner and the
• 1:29:09
  input credits. A good one on that one.
• 1:29:11
  You actually, you actually get some good time on that if you
• 1:29:14
  enter manually. Now, granted don't enter all of
• 1:29:17
  them manually either because I will throw red flag on scam.
• 1:29:20
  Parcel, there's no bar code and numbers are Blacked out.
• 1:29:25
  Missing somebody put a Sharpie over it or UPS decided to stick
• 1:29:31
  one of their fancy stickers over the top of it.
• 1:29:34
  You don't have to tear a sticker off anymore unless the clerk's
• 1:29:37
  already did it, its candid in the computer.
• 1:29:38
  They probably didn't scan in the computer either.
• 1:29:40
  If you can't input anything, then it's an unscanned, parcel.
• 1:29:44
  The same thing for if you are delivering, hold male of over
• 1:29:48
  eight pieces. This was the new one.
• 1:29:50
  They came out with that long ago.
• 1:29:52
  Any hold me over 8, Heath is considered amongst can parcel.
• 1:29:56
  So if you have nine pieces of mail for somebody that had
• 1:29:59
  their, their mail on hold for three weeks that's an unscanned
• 1:30:03
  parcel. And if they're only get nine
• 1:30:05
  pieces of mail, is kind of wondering why, but they put it
• 1:30:07
  on hold in the first place, but this also includes your do not.
• 1:30:12
  Bend envelopes your school picture.
• 1:30:17
  Those ones. Yeah.
• 1:30:19
  Diplomas especially. Oh, man, I seen so many Facebook
• 1:30:22
  posts throughout the Years of people complaining, their
• 1:30:25
  mailman, rolled their diploma in the mailbox and things like
• 1:30:29
  that. Your colander coins that come in
• 1:30:32
  the rigid envelopes, the priests and their they come in.
• 1:30:36
  Basically you toss them in an album if you had to um with no
• 1:30:40
  skin on it and don't bend those suckers.
• 1:30:43
  Trust me. I got called complain about
• 1:30:45
  smashing one into a mailbox. One day.
• 1:30:47
  That's an unseen. Yeah, it's hard.
• 1:30:50
  It's rigid. I know I get people.
• 1:30:54
  On my routes and Order their crossword book puzzles that come
• 1:30:58
  by the case and it's metered. That's on scan parcel.
• 1:31:01
  Yeah, and don't forget the people that get comic books to,
• 1:31:05
  oh, man, those guys are violent. When they come in the post
• 1:31:08
  office screaming about somebody bending their first edition of
• 1:31:11
  some some obscure comic book. We've never heard of Anything
• 1:31:17
  that does not fit in your case. And I always use the analogy.
• 1:31:23
  If it doesn't fit any standard mailbox, it's a nun scam.
• 1:31:27
  Parcel the you lines will fit in a standard mailbox and they will
• 1:31:31
  fit in the standard or case. Of course, it's going to take up
• 1:31:35
  the entire slot. Yes.
• 1:31:43
  As a flat is a flat, whether it comes in a pre-sorted bundle or
• 1:31:48
  it comes loose in your carrier route.
• 1:31:51
  That tub of flats. You line is a flat unless it has
• 1:31:56
  a barcode on it and I've seen you line for coating on them and
• 1:31:59
  then that becomes a parcel scan and if you know that if you see
• 1:32:03
  a barcode on it and the bar code does not read and it's missing a
• 1:32:07
  number in the line, it's a nun scam, parcel, because it had a
• 1:32:11
  bar code on it, you forgot the most important thing.
• 1:32:16
  If it doesn't fit in with the male, in your case, Then that
• 1:32:22
  would be carrier discretion on film.
• 1:32:26
  That's Bill. Maze discretion.
• 1:32:31
  What if you have to, you find catalogs for the same address.
• 1:32:38
  We have a, we have a car dealership on our route, that
• 1:32:40
  get 12 of them at a time. So yeah.
• 1:32:44
  Oh my God, they have a giant robot.
• 1:32:47
  I've got Cooper standard. That one of my routes that has a
• 1:32:51
  giant mailbox and they'll get like six or seven of those at a
• 1:32:54
  time. Also, also, along the lines of
• 1:32:58
  the hold mail business closed on weekends, if you have
• 1:33:02
  businesses, I have industrial park.
• 1:33:06
  We have businesses that are closed on the weekends.
• 1:33:08
  And if you are delivering more than eight pieces of mail on
• 1:33:11
  that Monday to deliver, or after a holiday, that isn't unscanned
• 1:33:16
  parcel. Yep.
• 1:33:18
  And then like, like we were saying in the Authorized
• 1:33:21
  Dismount section if you have a business of government agency, a
• 1:33:27
  lawyer for instance who gets a lot of mail and you just deliver
• 1:33:32
  it to a mail room or if you have a business that has a mailroom
• 1:33:36
  that they just get a tray of mail separated automatically for
• 1:33:40
  their business. That's in unscanned parcel.
• 1:33:43
  Delivery, if you're just the drop in a tray off, you're not
• 1:33:46
  touching the mail. You're not starting the mail
• 1:33:48
  you're not doing anything with it.
• 1:33:49
  You got no credit for it. Anywhere other than in the Raw
• 1:33:53
  section of the end of run or something like that, that's
• 1:33:56
  another scam parcel that you're just taking in dropping on this,
• 1:33:59
  on the counter and walking out the door.
• 1:34:02
  Just like how you deliver a package.
• 1:34:04
  You drop the package, it scan it.
• 1:34:05
  You hit the stuff in the in the scanner and you're out the door,
• 1:34:09
  you're not starting it for them, you're not opening the parcel
• 1:34:11
  Forum, what would be an in scam, parcel?
• 1:34:14
  Because I know because I have business that, that that's what
• 1:34:18
  we would do because they would get so much.
• 1:34:21
  Male. I mean, we just when I used to
• 1:34:24
  be in my major was one of my Matrix routes when I was when I
• 1:34:27
  was RCA I just put all their mail and a tub, but they used to
• 1:34:31
  get a lot of certified. It was not uncommon to have, you
• 1:34:34
  know, five ten certified for them.
• 1:34:38
  I mean I'm not sorting it but I got it.
• 1:34:39
  But I got to go around the tent. You know, I dropped the tub off
• 1:34:42
  at the lady but then I would have to have her sign for the
• 1:34:44
  certified. So does that negate the
• 1:34:46
  unscanned parcel? Because you've got the certified
• 1:34:49
  in their opinion. You know, because I would
• 1:34:52
  consider the certify should have been delivered by the clerk to
• 1:34:55
  you separate from the tray. Well, the first place, it should
• 1:34:59
  have been in the accountable. Start again, that that kind of,
• 1:35:05
  I think that certifies coming in the accountable card is going
• 1:35:09
  away. And here's why we're showing up
• 1:35:12
  a while ago, but most of what I'm seeing on social media, is a
• 1:35:15
  lot of people are finding them in their in their DTS, I'm
• 1:35:19
  finding them in my My clerk sorted mail at the hot cake but
• 1:35:25
  I haven't find for a certified. I think in six years I think
• 1:35:29
  since I transferred down to my current office, I don't think
• 1:35:32
  I've gotten, I don't think I've signed for a certified act on
• 1:35:34
  are accountable cart that Now, have a note taped to the
• 1:35:39
  accountable cart for the clerk says, do not scan certified that
• 1:35:44
  a rival unit. I also know, you know, because
• 1:35:49
  we're all customers as well. We had a certified show up on
• 1:35:53
  the informed delivery that you're receiving a certified.
• 1:35:56
  I happen to live on a City route, but my city carrier in my
• 1:35:59
  office says, hey she because she was fingering her DPS and she
• 1:36:04
  pulled out that certify. She was I have a certified.
• 1:36:06
  Do you want to sign it now? I said, yeah, I'll go ahead and
• 1:36:08
  sign it to us in the box but because it was for the other
• 1:36:11
  half but he wasn't going to be home anyways.
• 1:36:13
  But yeah, they will show up and inform delivery as a certified
• 1:36:17
  coming to you when they're in the DPS.
• 1:36:19
  So they are being tracked in the system.
• 1:36:21
  They're just not giving an arrival at units can anymore.
• 1:36:24
  Are you still? So, because I've seen people out
• 1:36:27
  there say, well, I'm just going to Chuck it in the box now,
• 1:36:30
  like, no, you still take that to the door and I know we're still
• 1:36:34
  getting that credit for going. To the door when you scan that
• 1:36:38
  certified out the door and have them saying you're still getting
• 1:36:41
  that certified letter credit, it's just not getting the AAU
• 1:36:46
  scan in the office anymore and if we have throwing it, if
• 1:36:49
  you're scanning it and throwing it in the box and signing for it
• 1:36:53
  on your own, that's falsification of a government.
• 1:36:55
  Document right there, they're signing your signing for
• 1:36:59
  somebody who didn't authorize you to sign for it.
• 1:37:04
  I your falsifying it Document. I wasn't saying that I saw some
• 1:37:09
  people on social media saying, well, if it's not accountable
• 1:37:12
  anymore than, they're not even getting signatures for it,
• 1:37:15
  there's Chuck together the Box. Yeah.
• 1:37:46
  It's just a signature required piece of mail, just like your
• 1:37:49
  packages that you get that our priority signature and stuff
• 1:37:52
  like that, okay? But little segue, I actually had
• 1:37:58
  a register. I actually had a registered on
• 1:38:00
  Saturday. I've only had one In the last
• 1:38:05
  five years and that was a few months ago.
• 1:38:08
  Yeah. Okay.
• 1:38:09
  Very good. I guess several International
• 1:38:12
  registered. I don't talk about that or some
• 1:38:14
  count anymore but yeah I know what you're talking about.
• 1:38:17
  Whoever the stand still counts as a registered in the system.
• 1:38:21
  Yeah. And don't don't get me forgot.
• 1:38:22
  Don't get me started on the standard post roughed in
• 1:38:26
  packages that are within our that scanner thinks that the
• 1:38:30
  register. When really the guy's only
• 1:38:32
  getting maybe a couple bolts or so.
• 1:38:34
  Something like that. All right, back to carry your
• 1:38:37
  pickup. Is the next one are here.
• 1:38:39
  Pick up. Now, this is another really
• 1:38:42
  contentious one so I'm gonna let this way.
• 1:38:50
  Every scan, the contentious can but this one is use carrier pick
• 1:38:57
  up when performing a carrier pick up for accepting a prepaid
• 1:39:01
  parcel over two pounds. And so the total number of
• 1:39:04
  parcels / containers picked up of 25, Parcels may be scanned
• 1:39:09
  and accepted under hockey. Ho for prepaid acceptance.
• 1:39:13
  Scan, if a Manifesto d630 or /. My PO pick up form is present.
• 1:39:20
  Directed to scan all items, accepted scan, the barcodes
• 1:39:24
  using prepaid acceptance from the street menu.
• 1:39:28
  That's a lot to unpack. So the carrier pick up your
• 1:39:31
  supposed to weigh the parcel and make sure it's more than two
• 1:39:34
  pounds. Before you scan it, under the
• 1:39:36
  carrier, pick up most of the companies, the label Well, if
• 1:39:43
  you look up in the left hand side, it will have if long as
• 1:39:46
  they did it correctly, you will have the weight of that package
• 1:39:49
  on there. Also to add not only over two
• 1:39:52
  pounds but priority packages as well.
• 1:39:56
  Now, for hands, how many people have a scale in their postal
• 1:39:59
  truck? I don't see any hand.
• 1:40:03
  I don't see any hands of the scale in the postal truck scale,
• 1:40:08
  but Exactly. We don't feel Serie postal scale
• 1:40:13
  in the truck so and my opinion is I'm not a clerk.
• 1:40:20
  I may be a post office on Wheels but I don't have all the
• 1:40:24
  functions of a clerk. I don't have a postal scale to
• 1:40:27
  verify whether a package is 2 pounds or not.
• 1:40:30
  I don't have. I mean, yes, you said you can
• 1:40:32
  look at the label and see, but I've delivered Parcels where
• 1:40:35
  I've had to pick up postage due for the fact that they put down.
• 1:40:39
  That it was point. And five pounds and it was
• 1:40:41
  actually two point five pounds, you're tall.
• 1:40:46
  So here it comes, my opinion is if it has a barcode, you scan it
• 1:40:53
  under prepaid acceptance and any of them that are you feel are
• 1:40:59
  over two pounds again? Carrier discretion, there we go.
• 1:41:05
  The key word today. How many of you have taken shots
• 1:41:07
  for this? You were carrier discretion.
• 1:41:10
  We would be maybe slurring this segment if we were doing that.
• 1:41:14
  But, yeah, but then you use the carrier pick up and however, you
• 1:41:20
  want to do. It is up to you.
• 1:41:22
  I scan everything under prepaid acceptance.
• 1:41:25
  My customers refer that I scan, everything under prepay
• 1:41:28
  acceptance by postmaster. Doesn't care.
• 1:41:31
  Whether I do all the scans or if I only do five, that's awesome.
• 1:41:34
  This is really cool, so I appreciate that a lot from the
• 1:41:37
  from them, but definitely, you want to get the parcels under
• 1:41:42
  the pre carrier pick up. Because that's a Rex credited,
• 1:41:47
  scan, its own activity scan, you get a credit for on your
• 1:41:51
  activity, scans in your 4241. A so you definitely want to be
• 1:41:56
  doing as many activity scans. As you can give reason as to why
• 1:42:00
  you did them. That's the best way to put it
• 1:42:03
  carrier discretion. Also, if you're picking, you
• 1:42:10
  know, also if you are it only lets you scan 5 but if you're
• 1:42:15
  picking up 12, make sure you enter in 12 scan the 5 and then
• 1:42:22
  the rest of them under prepaid Exempted.
• 1:42:24
  And then also, if you have Parcels that are priority,
• 1:42:28
  Parcels that are over two pounds, that don't have a bar
• 1:42:32
  code again, two pounds carrier discretion, And you can do the
• 1:42:36
  carrier pick up, enter the number of parcels and if there's
• 1:42:41
  no bar codes, hit enter if it says, and it'll ask you, if
• 1:42:45
  there are no barcodes to scan, you say, yes.
• 1:42:48
  Because there may not be barcodes on those priority
• 1:42:51
  packages but you can still empty and put the number under carrier
• 1:42:55
  pick up. And if, when are you going to do
• 1:42:59
  a pickup if they have a manifest, a scan sheet that has
• 1:43:03
  the they print it out? For all their parcels.
• 1:43:07
  You have to distill, you can scan those five.
• 1:43:10
  And then when you get back to the main menu, the scan barcode
• 1:43:14
  under the main menu, then scan that manifests and then I'll
• 1:43:17
  pick everything else up as well. You have to be able to scan the
• 1:43:20
  Manifest under the note, will not let you.
• 1:43:23
  Oh interesting, I've never had one.
• 1:43:24
  So I wouldn't know I have a regular pickup on the route.
• 1:43:29
  Iran. Okay, tomorrow that oh yeah,
• 1:43:32
  I've tried it. No, you have to scan barcodes.
• 1:43:39
  An area by you guys. Okay?
• 1:43:41
  Yep I'm a customer every several months they packed up and
• 1:43:46
  shipped out promotional t-shirts.
• 1:43:49
  Now I can do anywhere from three to four packages to 10 or 15 and
• 1:43:56
  then every once in awhile, I get cases.
• 1:44:00
  And I'm talking three and four hundred poly bags.
• 1:44:04
  Now, have you devised this game than that, the customers
• 1:44:06
  location and They're going. Okay, the windchill is minus 22,
• 1:44:14
  the fleet is coming down so bad. It's stinging.
• 1:44:17
  My face bite me because I'm bringing them back to the
• 1:44:21
  office, okay? All right.
• 1:44:23
  Now, under that scenario, I would do that as part of my end
• 1:44:28
  of shift duties. Oh, my poor boy.
• 1:44:30
  So, we do, is part of your end of shift.
• 1:44:32
  Duties is in the purple, especially in inclement weather.
• 1:44:37
  You know, if it's pouring rain out or something like that, you
• 1:44:40
  don't want to be standing at the back of your truck in the
• 1:44:42
  pouring rain trying to scan papers are codes as the rains
• 1:44:45
  pouring down and soak in the barcode and now the barcodes
• 1:44:49
  unreadable. Well, and I have to protect the
• 1:44:51
  Integrity of the product I'm picking up to exactly.
• 1:44:54
  Exactly. And then and couple questions in
• 1:45:01
  the thing. And plus one other point of
• 1:45:04
  contention that I've seen online about the parcel pickups.
• 1:45:08
  The first one is the contention I've seen online.
• 1:45:10
  If you have a stop with 252 pound packages of priority
• 1:45:15
  packages or which you feel should be under the carrier,
• 1:45:19
  pickups can enter 99 scan 5, Internet inter 99 scanned 5 and
• 1:45:29
  then enter 52 for the 250 that you're delivering into the
• 1:45:35
  carrier pickups can 5 and and go from there.
• 1:45:38
  You can also do the and then you can do the prepaid acceptance
• 1:45:43
  and scan all the rest of them. So the remaining 235 that you
• 1:45:52
  didn't scan, then you scan under carrier pickup or prepaid
• 1:45:55
  acceptance. The next one was the questions
• 1:46:00
  on the thing. If you have a pickup that you
• 1:46:03
  don't have a scan sheet for, do you still get credit for picking
• 1:46:07
  them up? Yes, you don't have to have a
• 1:46:09
  scan sheet to pick up packages from customers.
• 1:46:13
  It does help. It gives you extra credits on
• 1:46:16
  your 4241. So I'd recommend convincing
• 1:46:19
  those customers to put those forms in, but we don't have to
• 1:46:24
  have a form due to a pickup. I want to add To the, you know
• 1:46:28
  what Ben's talk. About we've talked about it in
• 1:46:30
  the past, it will pop up also when there's a carrier pickup
• 1:46:36
  request and it it will pop up. Actually, if you use your
• 1:46:39
  package, look ahead, it comes up, purple and your package.
• 1:46:42
  Look ahead. If by chance, they did not print
• 1:46:46
  that shit off and physically hand you that sheet, it is going
• 1:46:50
  to hang out there. So yes, you're going to say no,
• 1:46:53
  I don't have a sheet because you don't have it physically in your
• 1:46:56
  hand when you do that, care of your pickup.
• 1:46:58
  But Upon returning to that office, let them know that you
• 1:47:02
  did that pick up so they can close that order out in the in
• 1:47:07
  the system because all that shoot, all you're doing.
• 1:47:10
  When you're scanning that sheet is letting the cyst to closing
• 1:47:13
  the closing at that order out in the system that you picked it
• 1:47:16
  up. And if you can get them to scan
• 1:47:21
  that, she'd out your print that she'd out.
• 1:47:23
  So you can scan it in office and say you did accept it.
• 1:47:26
  But this one you don't when you're doing it in.
• 1:47:29
  In the office and it's by itself and you're not putting the
• 1:47:31
  parcels with it, just do it under the normal scan barcode.
• 1:47:35
  So you get the scan credit for that sheet and it should give
• 1:47:39
  you the cheap Credit in your 4241.
• 1:47:43
  If even if you scan them under the scan barcode.
• 1:47:47
  All right, and then with the example, you were just giving
• 1:47:58
  him out with the really large pickups.
• 1:48:01
  My case neighbor has a huge pickup which varies in size
• 1:48:07
  day-to-day. So what she'll do is show do.
• 1:48:14
  Prepaid acceptance for 94. Then switch over to carrier,
• 1:48:19
  pick up. Say, 99, scan, the five, the
• 1:48:23
  next five in and go back to prepay for the next 94.
• 1:48:29
  So she's getting credit for those scans and she knows
• 1:48:33
  exactly how many she's important.
• 1:48:35
  Yep, that works too. That's another way to do it and
• 1:48:39
  prevent double scanning this whatever, I think whatever way
• 1:48:43
  works for you. So long as you're Longing To
• 1:48:46
  long, as you can back it up, as long as it's a magnet, you can
• 1:48:50
  break it up and you're having accurate data entry.
• 1:48:55
  Yeah, alright. Now we're going on to sales.
• 1:49:00
  This is the last section folks. It's a very important one.
• 1:49:09
  Systems. I personally have never had to
• 1:49:11
  do a customs duty tax from a customer.
• 1:49:15
  However, when collecting are attempting to collect funds for
• 1:49:18
  customs duty attacks for the customer.
• 1:49:21
  So if you receive a customs duty tax from your Clerk and you go
• 1:49:31
  and attempt it, you're going to hit the postage, due Customs
• 1:49:34
  button to get credit for going to the door attempting.
• 1:49:39
  It It. And then, So that would be for
• 1:49:45
  those. And also the if the, if the
• 1:49:52
  clerk gives you a peach lip to deliver to the customer.
• 1:49:58
  For that. You also want to hit it for that
• 1:50:02
  because you're going to take that peach lip to the door and
• 1:50:04
  put it on the door for the customer.
• 1:50:06
  You're not going to stick it in the mailbox, all right.
• 1:50:10
  Postage due short paid, when collecting are attempting to
• 1:50:13
  collect funds for postage due short paid mail from customer.
• 1:50:16
  This is not customs duty tax collection postage, due.
• 1:50:21
  Somebody's birthday card. They should have put two stamps
• 1:50:24
  on it. And they put one or 24/7, 40
• 1:50:28
  sets or our favorite that's been going around lately.
• 1:50:32
  The online seller fraud labels that are invalid postage.
• 1:50:39
  Yeah, that's always been a fun one lately.
• 1:50:43
  This is your postage due again when collecting or attempting to
• 1:50:47
  collect leaving that, notice on the door, if you're standing at
• 1:50:51
  the door, saying if you're, if you're at the door people,
• 1:50:56
  you're knocking at the door, whether it's a certified, a
• 1:51:00
  signature required, a postage due, and they're not coming to
• 1:51:04
  that door, leave that notice, it's got sticky on it for a
• 1:51:08
  reason. Now, leave it on the door that
• 1:51:10
  way. They can't say well they didn't
• 1:51:11
  stop. Why is this in my off and
• 1:51:13
  Maybach? They didn't stop.
• 1:51:15
  That's proof. That you stopped at the door.
• 1:51:18
  And dude, it's going out the door, it's on the front door,
• 1:51:23
  which they never use. Yeah.
• 1:51:29
  Yeah, a lot of people going through their garage.
• 1:51:32
  Yeah, I am notorious Azure. Forgetting the postage due short
• 1:51:39
  pain. I know in my office and even my
• 1:51:41
  old office. If it's something, my new 24
• 1:51:44
  cents, 40 cents. We usually just toss the change
• 1:51:46
  in to the clerk from a little jar in the drawer and give them
• 1:51:51
  an envelope to you know put that on there too because you're
• 1:51:54
  still attempting, you know. If you're if you toss that
• 1:51:59
  change in and you put the fix the envelope, the little money
• 1:52:02
  collection envelope with the card and you know, I paid this
• 1:52:05
  for you. Thank you, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:52:07
  Ha, you're still attempting that postage due.
• 1:52:12
  Yep because a customer is going to pay you back usually and if
• 1:52:15
  they don't if they don't do you remember that customer?
• 1:52:18
  And you never do it again? I try to be nice at Christmas
• 1:52:22
  time. You only get one shot.
• 1:52:26
  Exactly. I'm not gonna I'm not going to
• 1:52:28
  waste my mom, not paid enough. I'm on table two.
• 1:52:32
  I'm a jerk. All right there and all the
• 1:52:43
  customers. I've ever paid postage due for
• 1:52:46
  have always paid me back. So that's good on our customers
• 1:52:50
  to that shows that they actually are caring about us as much as
• 1:52:53
  we care about them. You're not saying y'all keep
• 1:52:57
  track of who does and who doesn't like on a Christmas
• 1:53:00
  list. You're not saying that right?
• 1:53:02
  No. I'm saying no, somebody has like
• 1:53:04
  a two dollar and fifty cent or a three dollar postage due around
• 1:53:08
  Christmas time. I will normal.
• 1:53:10
  I sometimes if If I happen to have a few bucks on me I'll go
• 1:53:14
  ahead and pay that to make sure that they get it at Christmas
• 1:53:17
  time with the envelope and if they don't free, pay me back.
• 1:53:20
  I usually remember who that is But any more easier to remember
• 1:53:29
  who doesn't pay though because it's so few.
• 1:53:31
  So few customers that you know, it's not a big deal to remember
• 1:53:35
  oh that's the guy that I guess I paid thirty seven times for
• 1:53:38
  their extra stamp on their Postage and they never paid me
• 1:53:41
  back for it. I don't worry about the 25 cent
• 1:53:44
  37. 40 Cent ones. I really honestly, I don't care
• 1:53:47
  about those ones. It's when it's, you know, a buck
• 1:53:49
  fifty, two dollars, three dollars five dollars, That, you
• 1:53:53
  know, knowing who they are, you know, it's Christmas time, I
• 1:53:58
  will go ahead and I'll cover it to make sure that the that
• 1:54:01
  Christmas card with whatever from Grandma or Aunt, Susie gets
• 1:54:07
  there. Then but yeah, that gift card to
• 1:54:13
  the place. They hate.
• 1:54:14
  Yeah, exactly. But okay.
• 1:54:18
  On to rule reach Castle, hold on here right?
• 1:54:23
  I have a legend on my case I have green dots on that
• 1:54:26
  addresses that only get first class mail.
• 1:54:28
  I have red dots that for customers who don't get our
• 1:54:31
  marriage mail and I have little skull and crossbones for the
• 1:54:35
  people who don't pay back your postings do like that exit.
• 1:54:39
  Ali, I may do that. What I do regular here and
• 1:54:44
  another five months Real Reach customer when engaging a
• 1:54:51
  customer to generate a lead for the rule reach program.
• 1:54:55
  This is actually a five-minute credit people.
• 1:55:02
  Yeah, who wants to explain roll? Reach customer because my
• 1:55:06
  husband, I said, I don't have a lot of area on my routes that
• 1:55:15
  this would pertain to. Well here, I actually have a lot
• 1:55:19
  on my mind. What I did one the other day, I
• 1:55:27
  have some guy at going through the, I go through it with this.
• 1:55:31
  This guy every year that he goes around to all the walls of CPUs
• 1:55:38
  on one part of my route, taping up advertisement for his lawn
• 1:55:42
  care service. And I thought, what would happen
• 1:55:48
  if I put all this does when you hit roll reach, all it does.
• 1:55:52
  Is it just beeps? Yeah, it's not like you enter
• 1:55:55
  any information. You know it's really more.
• 1:56:01
  I think it's more that. Hey when you're actually
• 1:56:06
  engaging them and having you know, having them fill out a
• 1:56:09
  lead card that you take back to the office.
• 1:56:13
  Fine. You know what?
• 1:56:15
  I tore is advertisement down because you're not supposed to
• 1:56:19
  advertise on her TV. You yeah, I've plugged that in
• 1:56:25
  yes. There's actually start lead in
• 1:56:29
  the in the scanner now and here's what I've got.
• 1:56:34
  So I've got customers on my route that ship packages.
• 1:56:38
  Well, I had a customer who was driving the post office almost
• 1:56:41
  every day to drop packages off and I noticed that they had all
• 1:56:45
  these packages in the back of their car.
• 1:56:48
  So I actually got out of my truck, walked up to him and
• 1:56:50
  said, hey, I can take those packages for you.
• 1:56:53
  Instead of you having to drive to the post office everyday me
• 1:56:57
  thinking, hey that's partial credit for me.
• 1:56:59
  That's a really tight there. Yes, on top of that.
• 1:57:02
  On top of that, if you talk to a customer and get them to sign up
• 1:57:06
  for informed delivery, that's a real reach.
• 1:57:09
  If you talk to a customer about advertising their business,
• 1:57:12
  that's a rural reach. And like he was just saying,
• 1:57:14
  Saying, if you got a customer or somebody who puts an
• 1:57:17
  advertisement on a CB you in a mailbox, take that
• 1:57:22
  advertisement. Put it into the lead.
• 1:57:25
  If you, if you can figure out their address and their phone
• 1:57:29
  number and great if you can get their email off their stuff, You
• 1:57:34
  can actually input that in your scanner yourself as a lead, but
• 1:57:38
  that's a real reach. And then if you can't figure it
• 1:57:42
  out, you take that card out. That's still a rural reach
• 1:57:45
  because you're taking it back to the office to get the postmaster
• 1:57:48
  to reach out to them to do a rural reach.
• 1:57:52
  So that's a rural reach for yourself.
• 1:57:54
  Yeah, that was funny to the postmaster.
• 1:58:06
  My postmaster actually said, if you take those cars, Out of the
• 1:58:10
  box, do a release on that. So, that came from the manager
• 1:58:15
  said to do a real reach on that for a credit on your route.
• 1:58:19
  Now, granted, your manager may not say the same thing.
• 1:58:23
  But so we're all reach. Now, another one that I say is
• 1:58:27
  if you're talking to your customers, you know, you take a
• 1:58:31
  few minutes to talk to your customers.
• 1:58:33
  I consider that a real reach because they're more likely to
• 1:58:36
  use the post office. If you're nice to your
• 1:58:38
  customers, you're engaging conversation.
• 1:58:42
  Yeah, that's right. Really is it really is.
• 1:58:48
  Well, manager would say that is not a real reach but if that
• 1:58:52
  customer then turns around and says you know what, I'm going to
• 1:58:56
  ship out 100 cards this Christmas.
• 1:59:00
  So I'm going to buy 100 stamps from this nice carrier.
• 1:59:04
  Stamps oxtail. Nice, man.
• 1:59:06
  That's your next Segway and I stamp stock sales on yeah,
• 1:59:14
  perfectly. Yeah.
• 1:59:16
  Yeah, I saw you there. All right stamp stuck.
• 1:59:19
  Sales is our final one, when completing a sale of stamps
• 1:59:25
  while servicing the route. Yes, you can keep stats stamp
• 1:59:30
  stock. Most management doesn't want to
• 1:59:32
  do it anymore. But it is possible.
• 1:59:36
  You can also like many of US carriers will buy a book of
• 1:59:41
  stamps that way we have it on because again, we are Rural and
• 1:59:46
  customers will leave an envelope of cards or bills with a couple
• 1:59:50
  bucks in there to put the stamps on.
• 1:59:53
  I had one the other day on my Ox route, I pull up.
• 1:59:57
  He's got a card. He has a check written out for a
• 2:00:01
  book of stamps paper clip to the card.
• 2:00:05
  That's a stamp stock sale. I took it back, I grabbed an
• 2:00:08
  orange envelope, I put the check in it.
• 2:00:10
  I held the card to the next day when I got the the orange
• 2:00:15
  envelope. Back from the clerk's I took a
• 2:00:17
  stamp off the book, put it on the card through it in the
• 2:00:19
  outgoing mail and returned his book of stamps doing You are
• 2:00:26
  selling these stamp you are taking cash for postage.
• 2:00:30
  That is stamp stock sale. What if you're if you pick up
• 2:00:35
  one of those envelopes, you're not getting paid for the pickup
• 2:00:39
  of that envelope or the delivery of that envelope.
• 2:00:41
  That is a stamp cocktail, because you're going to go back
• 2:00:43
  to your office and you're going to go up to your window clerk,
• 2:00:48
  not to the front window. But you're going to come up to
• 2:00:50
  the back side of your window Clerk and your clerk, should
• 2:00:53
  come over and take that stamps Hawk and do SAM stock sale for
• 2:00:57
  you, so you can return it to the customer the next day, if the
• 2:01:01
  correction The first are willing to do that, you can do it
• 2:01:08
  through the accountable carpet. It takes a little bit longer,
• 2:01:11
  sometimes it takes two days, instead of getting it done that
• 2:01:14
  day, but it's still the first first handling of, it is a stamp
• 2:01:19
  stock sale in my opinion. Now, some man, some manager will
• 2:01:23
  say you don't carry stand stock. You don't get the stamps Dot
• 2:01:25
  credit that you have to be a guy that used to be a guaranteed
• 2:01:29
  credit for rural carriers, on the mini on the regular mail
• 2:01:32
  count. We don't get that credit
• 2:01:34
  anymore. Ain't that the truth and they
• 2:01:39
  leave always 63. Yeah, piece of mail with 63
• 2:01:45
  cents. Go ahead.
• 2:01:46
  Kristen of a piece of mail in the Box was 63 cents on top of
• 2:01:50
  that piece of mail. That's a stamp stock sale.
• 2:01:54
  Yeah, yeah, you got it in your wallet, or your purse or
• 2:01:58
  whatever, pick that stamp on their throw.
• 2:02:00
  The 63 cents in your purse and it's not stealing the money.
• 2:02:03
  You're trading a postage stamp or the money that you boss.
• 2:02:07
  It's still a stamp stock sale, right?
• 2:02:09
  All, use it first anymore, okay? Yeah.
• 2:02:16
  In my Buick LeSabre, my POV, I've got a little drawer above
• 2:02:20
  the ashtray, that's where I keep my book of stamps and then if I
• 2:02:24
  get change, I toss it back in that little drawer, I take the
• 2:02:27
  stamp out and I put it on there and I toss it in the outgoing.
• 2:02:31
  Yep. If you taken money for postage
• 2:02:33
  is a stamp stock sale. Okay, if you look at the right,
• 2:02:40
  you know, it actually states that we're supposed to carry.
• 2:02:44
  Damp stock for what you have on your route.
• 2:02:51
  That being said, I, you know, that's whether you sign
• 2:02:55
  outstanding stock through management and get audited every
• 2:03:01
  so often or if you purchase your own and replenish on your own.
• 2:03:05
  That being said, I bought one book of stamps, eight years ago,
• 2:03:11
  when I took over this route and I still have more than half that
• 2:03:14
  pump class. So, the credit where you can get
• 2:03:19
  them all right, you know but I carry the stamps that I need you
• 2:03:26
  know I carry stamps for any case I need I was going to say that
• 2:03:32
  but it's whether you sell one stamp or your soul roller stamp,
• 2:03:38
  that's one sale. Yes.
• 2:03:42
  Okay. Now the other thing I do not a
• 2:03:44
  role of 100 is 100 stamp stock sales.
• 2:03:48
  It's all a roll of death. Yeah, sorry Bill but Well, at
• 2:03:54
  least what I have been told to my Dr. Is if you're taking the
• 2:03:59
  orange envelope back, that is not a stamp cocktail.
• 2:04:05
  If that is, that is your you do get credit, credited for it,
• 2:04:11
  under your pea, under your end of shift Duty.
• 2:04:15
  I mean, if the clerk says, I mean, if the window is still
• 2:04:17
  open, the quarks are still working.
• 2:04:21
  You get it under your end of shift, under the end and
• 2:04:24
  shifting, but it is not a stamp cocktail.
• 2:04:28
  What if, what if for instance, you get back in the clerk's,
• 2:04:30
  aren't the windows closed, you're not getting any credit on
• 2:04:35
  the end of shift, to the other, than sticking in the accountable
• 2:04:38
  car. Instead of writing there,
• 2:04:39
  waiting for the clerk to fill it and stuff like that.
• 2:04:42
  And you don't know that when you pick up that envelope, whether
• 2:04:44
  you're going to get that stamp stock, they are.
• 2:04:47
  But if you, but if you are not killing me order from your stamp
• 2:04:51
  stock and there were air quotes there that you didn't think if
• 2:04:55
  you're not going, if you were not going order out of your
• 2:04:59
  stamp Dot, And you're just taking the envelope back, it is
• 2:05:03
  not a scam stock sale. And again, what what is, what is
• 2:05:08
  the thing I've been saying this whole time, Barry discussion?
• 2:05:12
  Exactly, so yeah, that's better than death.
• 2:05:16
  We used to hear all the time. Kristen, I like the carrier
• 2:05:21
  discussion better. You probably did a news coming.
• 2:05:28
  My, my thing on it is if you're taking money for postage, it's a
• 2:05:32
  stamp stock sale. So but you know, I said, carry
• 2:05:36
  your discretion well building and start something.
• 2:05:42
  How many times you hear that? That's the next post.
• 2:05:49
  I'm going to wait and see after this one is hey we have a new
• 2:05:51
  drinking game, guys. How many times did we fear every
• 2:06:00
  time? Every time?
• 2:06:01
  His name says it carrier. Discretion, I think we've
• 2:06:05
  already entered into To liver failure on this one.
• 2:06:08
  It's very good thing. Not all of us are drinking
• 2:06:11
  tonight. Well I have to work in the
• 2:06:14
  morning. It doesn't work out for me.
• 2:06:16
  If I drink the night before I have to work.
• 2:06:19
  So I'm angry. Do we got guys?
• 2:06:22
  Yeah, we do know people that would drink too much and not
• 2:06:25
  going to work the next day. Yeah.
• 2:06:27
  We're not gonna be drinking yet. I stopped drinking at 10:00.
• 2:06:35
  And on that note, we are at two hours again.
• 2:06:40
  I'm going to go ahead and yeah, we're going to go ahead and wrap
• 2:06:42
  this up. I want to give a shout out
• 2:06:46
  though. We got we got a shout out from a
• 2:06:52
  couple other rural carriers that have their own podcast.
• 2:06:56
  It is not postal related for the most part.
• 2:07:00
  They speak very little of Of their day jobs.
• 2:07:03
  But this is going to go out to Damien appleís and Shonda can

• 2:08:32
  No, no, the delivery try because they were using that further
• 2:08:38
  their interest, their intro. And yeah, they had a change up
• 2:08:45
  their intro, but that's why I went with Norm because he's an
• 2:08:49
  alcoholic, it can't be You can't get Newman.

  note Mike, what's your your last thoughts and words for this
• 2:09:41
  evening? My last part, I think I'm going
• 2:09:51
  to feel from something I thought on a social media post.
• 2:09:55
  One of the only Advance on one of the group's I follow.
• 2:09:58
  Is there still a lot of questions about the about the RX
• 2:10:03
  about all this? When people ask questions don't
• 2:10:07
  attack each other. Okay.
• 2:10:10
  We're you know we're all we are all in this together.
• 2:10:13
  We're all trying to figure this out.
• 2:10:15
  Nobody has all the answers. So you know but grab you know,
• 2:10:25
  if you want any carriers who went up, you know, let's not
• 2:10:28
  gloat over that. I was just going over my 4241
• 2:10:32
  and I think there's some errors in it and just realize that you
• 2:10:37
  have people. You have carriers out there who
• 2:10:39
  are asking questions, who are facing major salary cut 50, kind
• 2:10:45
  to each other. Now, we're all in this together.
• 2:10:49
  Done. Josh Porter.
• 2:10:56
  Basically, same sentiments is what Mike said, you know, there
• 2:11:01
  were some winners. There were some losers, don't be
• 2:11:04
  sore, either direction. And like I said last week, I
• 2:11:10
  understand what in 2018, I lost Seven, almost 8 hours a week.
• 2:11:21
  And that her, that her a lot. Don't get overwhelmed.
• 2:11:30
  If you do. Take a step back, take a deep
• 2:11:31
  breath. Step back in, and get back at
• 2:11:34
  it. Do what you can do.
• 2:11:41
  To help you out. You know, if you have a scan the
• 2:11:45
  if there's something that comes up that you can put a scan in,
• 2:11:49
  put it in we all we've talked about it multiple times in the
• 2:11:54
  past. You know, we all have that one
• 2:11:56
  thing that we keep forgetting about.
• 2:12:01
  It'll happen. Just try and remember them going
• 2:12:03
  forward, you know make it a point every day to remind
• 2:12:07
  yourself. They got to do this, my gotta do
• 2:12:10
  this, I gotta do this, I gotta do this, and I got this and I
• 2:12:12
  got to do this again. Once you have that one down, add
• 2:12:15
  one or two more, try and have a good week.
• 2:12:22
  Try not to be too upset when the alarm goes off tomorrow morning.
• 2:12:29
  Jacobs. Yeah, nothing.
• 2:12:34
  You want to focus on throughout their next six months, before
• 2:12:37
  the next many male pound is focus on the scans.
• 2:12:42
  You need for your route. Be as accurate as you possibly
• 2:12:46
  can with them. But if you're questioning
• 2:12:49
  whether or not, you should scan it, scan it. because it's better
• 2:12:55
  to scan wrong the way that benefits you then not scan that
• 2:13:02
  benefits the post office Like everybody else said.
• 2:13:08
  Nobody's going to win in this. Either way this goes, it's a
• 2:13:11
  lose-lose scenario. If we get a hold on this for the
• 2:13:16
  next mini mail count, you got 33 percent of the carriers that are
• 2:13:21
  going to lose money. They they rightfully deserve.
• 2:13:25
  And those carriers probably don't have all their scans in
• 2:13:29
  that they should enter actually evaluated lower than they could
• 2:13:33
  be. Those, they aren't getting the
• 2:13:36
  exact money. They should either.
• 2:13:39
  But they also should move out on that money.
• 2:13:41
  They've already gotten through this many mail survey and the 66
• 2:13:45
  percent that lost money on the scan.
• 2:13:50
  Are also going to hurt on this, too.
• 2:13:53
  If this goes through, you got carriers that are going from a
• 2:13:57
  46k down to a 35h. It's almost it's almost an ox
• 2:14:04
  for out there having to be put on what they call Guaranteed
• 2:14:07
  salary. Which is only 40 hours.
• 2:14:11
  So they're hurting too. What?
• 2:14:16
  I would say that that been a big question.
• 2:14:19
  I've seen on a lot of the Facebook groups, what's the
• 2:14:24
  difference between salary and guaranteed salary?
• 2:14:27
  So, did I? Yeah.
• 2:14:31
  So salary is what you're paid from 41, H all the way up, to
• 2:14:37
  48k, that's just a standard salary underneath 41 is 40
• 2:14:45
  hours. That you're the minimum base
• 2:14:48
  salary. You can be paid.
• 2:14:50
  That's your guaranteed salary if you go at 40 hours or under your
• 2:14:56
  at guaranteed salary and a guaranteed salary is only for,
• 2:15:00
  for up to two years and then they have to re-evaluate.
• 2:15:05
  Now in that time frame, you're going to have many, many mail
• 2:15:09
  surveys between that when which are real could go up and if you
• 2:15:13
  go above the guaranteed salary, Murray then your salary will go
• 2:15:18
  to the regular salary of whatever you get evaluated to
• 2:15:23
  But if you don't go up above your guarantee salary, you
• 2:15:25
  continue to stay on that guaranteed salary.
• 2:15:28
  Now, the other caveat to that are you are you are at the mercy
• 2:15:37
  of management, to place you up to 50 miles from your office on
• 2:15:43
  a vacant route access to or, or you can do a district bid. on to
• 2:15:52
  a vacant route and now would end your guarantee because you'd be
• 2:15:56
  on a regular route through a bid that's presuming that they're
• 2:16:01
  not able to build you back up to at least 40 hours, at least 41
• 2:16:07
  hours, you have to be a 41 H. Okay.
• 2:16:14
  So that is guaranteed salary. So remember, it's a bad time
• 2:16:19
  right now for rural carriers, on both ends of the spectrum.
• 2:16:23
  It doesn't matter whether you won or lost support your fellow
• 2:16:28
  brothers and sisters through this.
• 2:16:30
  We're all having a hard time with this.
• 2:16:33
  We're all looking for the answers and like they said
• 2:16:36
  nobody has all the answers even we don't have all the answers
• 2:16:40
  but we're going to try and get you the best information we have
• 2:16:43
  at the time. So, stay calm, keep your ear to
• 2:16:50
  the ground, get the answers that you need from your local
• 2:16:54
  stewards for your assigned. Three union representative,
• 2:16:59
  whoever it may be, Talk with your fellow carriers.
• 2:17:04
  Even talk to your local postmaster.
• 2:17:06
  If they're friendly enough about this stuff, your postmasters not
• 2:17:10
  friendly about it. I wouldn't recommend approaching
• 2:17:12
  them to keep the calm but just stay calm and look forward to
• 2:17:18
  getting all the answers. You can from the correct
• 2:17:22
  sources, you possibly can find is that your local store, your
• 2:17:26
  ADR your Dr, or even your state representatives, your president
• 2:17:32
  vice-president, your secretary, though, having a Bruce to your
• 2:17:35
  state board members. Go to annual, meetings are
• 2:17:41
  starting up, go to them, definitely see where you can get
• 2:17:46
  information from. Like I said, we don't have all
• 2:17:51
  the answers, I wish we did but we don't, but we are going to
• 2:17:55
  Regionals are good. One regionals to our good one to
• 2:17:58
