I talked to the driver on my street yesterday and she told me she was running 2 routes. with no helper. ???

Stop wise or area wise?

 

[upschuck]

morning, chuck.

How you been doing?

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

I live on a small street, maybe 40 houses, and she had at least 4 stops that I saw. maybe that's normal. She is a cover driver as well.

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Stop wise or area wise?

she didn't specify. I'm guessing area wise

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Hell, the post office didn't drop my mail till 10pm last night, and there were 2 mail trucks on my street at the same time. I'm guessing 1 for first class and 1 for packages.

Stops go up and area size goes down, if dispatched right, but we know how that works out.

Hi everyone! Is it getting busy out there? lol

Hi Rob.

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

How you been doing?

I've been doing ok. actually got out and did a little shopping yesterday. Waiting for the Sears repair guy today.

Morning Rob. Because I was raised to respect my elders I won't give you a throat punch for that question. LOL.

Except when they jack up the stops per car and you get stops scattered all over the place and end up with more miles than usual.

Hey, I've. One of my driver friends told me yesterday that their peak day was last tuesday. That sounds a bit too early for me.

Here, the PO has cut routes too. We used to never see PO out after dark delivering mail, but has been consistently 6pm before we get our mail delivered. Been that way for at least a year.

I really hate Sears repair guys. They are subcontractors and extremely unreliable.

That is why I said "if dispatched right"

Morning, Ms. Needs. I appreciate no throat punches this early in the morning. Since I just woke up, I'm not moving fast yet. (yawn) lol.

Mailmen used to quit at 5 even if their work wasn't done. They weren't allowed to work late. They have been getting screwed like everyone else.

I'd still blame them, they should have "expected the unexpected".

Well I can blame my loader and dispatch. Who puts the first you should deliver in the 8000 section? Then splits up 1 road into 4 different sections.

Usually it is my wife's birthday, Dec 19th, or there abouts.

If loader is following pas labels, then it isn't their fault at all.
