What are your rules regarding sure post?

Our district is hiring drivers like crazy but they can't keep up and it's 100% their fault. People can't get trained fast enough and put on the road if they are waiting months for a driving class that is halfway across the country. Just train them here for Christ's sake! Freakin morons.

Our Postmster said during Christmas that UPS has the option of delivering sure post packages if they want. Does this rule apply throughout the year? curious to know because rural carriers are on an evaluated pay system. We do not get paid hourly.

Be honest, you don't like having to get out of the jeep, do you?

lol. No. It is much easier getting out of LLV, what you are calling a jeep, than your own personal vehicle.

I am asking because we get paid for months sometimes years based on what we get during our evaluation period which we call mail count.

The reason carriers do not like getting out is because we are paid the same as if we did not.
If we have more than one package going to an address, we will keep the surepost .

Do they tell you to deliver them at certain times during the year? We think it is a big conspiracy.

They tell us nothing except what address to deliver the package. Believe me when I tell you, we ( those of us in a brown monkey suit), would rather you not have any of our work.

I think it is UPS's backup plan in case you strike and USPS's plan to decrease our pay.

No....It goes by what the computer says.....if I have another package going to that address I deliver the surepost also if I have a package (not surepost) going to a near by address...then I will deliver the surepost....sorry hope I didnt make that to confusing

We have several stops every day that ups drivers deliver only surepost packages by themselves (with no other pkgs but
surepost) and when this was brought to management's attention they told the drivers that ups has to pay the P.O. $1.50 per package when we deliver them ourselves.
We do it all year long and more at holiday time. A lot more

We just held a mail count. They counted every letter and package we touched for two weeks, plugged the figures in formulas and this is what we are paid for the rest of the year. Packages disappear during this time and then reappear thereafter. I will have to say I seen more disappear from FedEx this time though.

I just bet USPS does hold you to that fee when it benefits them. The only time we receive any pay hourly is a couple weeks before Christmas. this is our guarantee period in which we are paid for the hours we actually work. The packages fell off from what we were delivering from you guys after black Friday.
