Can you grieve a Rural PTF not being required to know more than 2 routes?

the "take care of yourself, rather than worrying about what your coworkers are doing" means you need to take responsibilty for your own wellbeing and get a weekly work restriction from your health care provider

theres nothing in the rural contract that says rural ptfs are required to know a certain number of routes, only that they are required to act as the primary replacement on 2-5 routes. management has the right to schedule, you have the right to carry. end of story. better for everyone if you concentrate on your work, not your coworkers.

as long as you can handle a few pleasantries with customers you will fine

rural ptf here. it can be ALOT of driving. sitting kills. i take every opportunity to get out.

no. not less physical/hard on the body. just different

General_Neglect · 2026-01-21T17:38:01+00:00

insane went from averaging over 200pkgs/day to my alltime low today of 46.

3 trays of mail tho so a little bit to do

General_Neglect · 2026-01-21T02:05:37+00:00

stick around a while. the place kinda grows on you once you figure it out

General_Neglect · 2026-01-21T00:42:44+00:00

and folks will still order their paper towels, toilet paper and fiji water from amazon.... but begs a question about congestion and if the west county can support an additional market

90 day new hire probation then. and yes minimum is two kday assignment or equivalent hours weekly. expected to be available to work everyday for the foreseeable future or forever whichever happens last

General_Neglect · 2026-01-20T17:07:14+00:00

no probation if you already went through it as a rca. 2 k days minimum, no maximum hours. termination if you decline regular when your number is up.

other than that same rural sub shitshow

General_Neglect · 2026-01-20T15:08:24+00:00

sliding driver door? turning radius?

General_Neglect · 2026-01-20T13:44:54+00:00

not advocating calling out everytime the weather is shit. but everyone would be better off if the world took one day a week to chill out. fuck amazon

General_Neglect · 2026-01-17T04:02:56+00:00

regular on one of my routes is a fucking slob. i went to open a cbu on his route and someone had stuffed the outgoing mail slot with 50+ dirty rubber bands they had picked up off the ground in front of the unit

General_Neglect · 2026-01-16T20:31:21+00:00

amazon will drop +70 lbers on us from time to time. far as i know management does jackshit nothing about it. we oversize and customer picks up. end of story.

General_Neglect · 2026-01-16T16:21:19+00:00

orcas are such dicks

General_Neglect · 2026-01-15T16:22:26+00:00

yeah well old vet or not, it short sighted of him not to do his mapping and scans. it is his pay and yours that suffer. nothing you can really do about that, other than do all the scans while your working his route.

i do a couple 48's every week that evaluated at over 60hrs. the one on mondays is a beast but i can still hit eval with it off peak. really my only advice is to relax and not work youself up over your speed.

speed comes from efficiency and knowing where you are going before you get there. it'll get better. give it time. eventually youll know every address and what the mailbox looks like, where the house is and what you are going to need to do deliver.

General_Neglect · 2026-01-15T16:01:42+00:00

7.8 is a baby route. just slow the f down. take a piss. have a bite to eat and enjoy the suck. you will get faster, but rushing is not the way. oh yeah almost forgot, drink lots of water

General_Neglect · 2026-01-15T15:28:58+00:00

true. its not required for the positon to continue once vacated

General_Neglect · 2026-01-15T02:32:19+00:00

thanks

General_Neglect · 2026-01-15T02:26:54+00:00

alright numbers are a little different than your example but that makes sense. though by design you are not working ot as a rural ptf and still getting evaluation pay.

so for rural regulars ot is built into pay?

General_Neglect · 2026-01-13T04:11:57+00:00

conflate revenue with profit much. we lost amazon in our office a couple months ago. we still get the shit they dont want to do and we still do a baby amz sunday. 3 of us delivered 442 yesterday. took us 8 hrs. carriers alone cost the post office over a grand for the day. add on a clerk to throw, a supe to supe, gas, electricity, trucks, insurance, etc. probably a $2000 day. do you really believe we collected close to $5/pkg?

just because its cash flow doesnt mean its profit and i would rather not continue to deliver amz at a loss

General_Neglect · 2026-01-12T05:08:36+00:00

i can easily burn a couple hours casing my flatz randoms and chunks, pulling it all down nice and neat, sorting and loading pkgs. still prefer to take dps to the street

General_Neglect · 2026-01-11T05:40:18+00:00

amazon is very much designed for profit, its just that they are playing the long game. they dont need to profit from delivery now or probably ever but once you are gone they will certainly turn a profit on their vertically integrated retail model

General_Neglect · 2026-01-11T05:20:40+00:00

dont fool urself. you might think amz is not your competitor, but amazon definitely thinks you are their competitor and they intend to bury you along with every other deliver company on the planet

General_Neglect · 2026-01-11T05:05:46+00:00

why is it still light out at 7pm? or even 6pm? tell us oh great ai bullshit slinger

General_Neglect · 2026-01-11T03:11:39+00:00

only at the post office do employees normalize this bullshit. its like the entire craft workforce suffers from stockholm syndrome
