There’s still routes like that and the Rural Deferred Initiative or whatever the heck is going to waste a lot of time and money. I plan on securing some of that time and money

Being retired is much better than working a job you enjoy.
Hiking the Rockies this week and then heading to Kauai in a week.
I'll think about you driving all those gravel roads.

This whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. Service is what we are and what we have. They did “rural remote” in the 90’s and it was a complete flop.
No way this lasts, and whoever came up with it doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Rural drivers are a part of that community. We go to graduations, funerals, weddings, you name it.

I agree that it sucks, my route gets cut 2 or 3 days a week now. Absolutely hate it.This whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. Service is what we are and what we have. They did “rural remote” in the 90’s and it was a complete flop.

However it does make sense. "Back in the day" if you shipped something it was important. Nowadays Mary Lou can wait a day on her chapstick or t shirt in the Amazon bubble mailer.
Problem is, they're boning routes like they used to & cutting everything possible. No more tsp 8.5's. We'll see if it lasts

Hey it lasted from Feb-Aug. It was nice getting off at a decent time.TSP
I had a pretty good feeling it would end after the contract though.

They really never did it here. Feeble attempts, but never follow through.

I was actually very surprised it lasted like it did. Might have been around 1 day per week that I got up above 9 hours. Was home before 6 most of the time.

It’s total bs if they are holding back medical/medicine supplies…I’m seriously surprised that feds wouldnt get involved with that. When the post office wanted to stop/slow Saturday delivery a few ago people were bringing up two points to bitch about to their govt reps…social security checks and medicine that were going to take an additional day to arrive.

If someone is waiting until the last minute to refill a prescription it's on them. Try planning ahead a little.

You smell that?
If it's a maintenance drug wouldn't the timing of the shipping be controlled by the insurance company?
They have to improve their margins with this big contract
