[QUOTE="21_years_in, post: 5941161, member: 36676"] In my case, I had pushed my lower back as far as I am willing to push it right about the time the center manager notified me of the imminent Rural Deferment. So, Rural Deferment or no, I will be staying off of unpaved roads in a package car. My options are Worker’s Comp, Disability, or an inside job. I called an ORS today, & I got a PM Clerk gig for 4 weeks. I also developed COVID on the day my center manager first gave me a head’s up on the pending change to the route. I worked an 11.19 paid day, tested positive that night, & I still test positive for COVID 5 days later. Days 2,3 and 4 of the COVID were worse than I could ever have imagined. I got on Paxlovid very quickly. So my lower back will have had a rest for 5-1/2 weeks, but I hope that I never have to drive on an unpaved road in a package car ever again. Pavement is fine! As a result of the above, I will be watching my route’s transition to Rural Deferment from the vantage point of a PM Clerk. [/QUOTE]
