The engineers have turned their attention to the three follow-up activities.
Activities will continue over the next several months.
Engineering panel will be completing work on the amount of personal fatigue and delay allowance time to be included in the standards.
Work on the engineered standards is near completion
Most of the data to calculate route evaluations is flowing to the cloud where standard time calculations will be performed
Progress continues to be made on the software that will be used to capture data on street activities
Information obtained from various reports from State Conventions.
thank you 🙂
Thanks for the info!!
Im ready, bring it on;)
What does standard time calculations mean? Is it for each individual route or one standard that will be used for all routes?
Here’s an idea. let these engineers actually do the job for a few weeks. That could’ve probably save a lot of money.
While they didn’t actually carry the route, they did do a lot of ride-alongs. They were amazed at how much work carriers did in the vehicles and how hard it was.
I’m really frustrated with our post master. I got a new business last summer. They did carrier pick up and a manafest, sheet. The numbers were never correct. PI still master said just scan. It. So half the parcels don’t get prepaid excepted scan.
So now a year lare it’s been determined I do indeed need scan them prepaid;per parcel
My post master is dragging her feet. I want thus,added into my route. The average week from this business alone is 50- 150 parcels!
I hope these engineers understand that we read every address and each one can be one of 14 different things…we pick out the bad mail…i hope they realize that performing this function on the street increases exposure to safety risks by increasing street time…the longer one is on the street the greater the chance of an accident.plus greater fuel costs and wear and tear on aging vehicle fleet. Coming from an office where a 2yr old hid under an ffv until he was run over at the mail box, any unneccessary second is one too many…i am not implying fault. There is no data that proves taking all automated mail to the street is faster. On the contrary, we have proof of the opposite in our office. Rural routes forced to take all automated mail to the street were out longer or came back at the same as carriers that cased everything.
The engineering panel must take SAFETY into consideration and realize that sorting mail on the side of a busy road or child filled culdsac is a recipe for disaster.also, the post office is trying to create a SOP that requires reading and sorting mail while the vehicle transmission is actively in drive(even though the foot is on the break)i thought this was called distracted driving and is illegal. Again.rural carriers read every address to pick out the bad mail;there are over14 different things an address can be: no such number, attempted not known, refused, deceased etc…and we have on average 1500 names and 600 addresses committed to memory: and those are the GOOD ones…
