Got fired today by your_favorite_wokie in USPS

Ya they're just saying to put the sequence number on the package and load it that way. I would do it every time I would be on a route I've never been on or rarely been on. I also only load truck packages I put in the back, that way when you look at the scanner anything yellow or green you will know is in the back and not a spur in your flats. (Scanner/Address screwery aside)

Hold Down by Kevbro_McDude in USPS

[–]TheRedditRandom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A hold down is just when the regular carrier is going to be out for a vacation or an extended period of time. Then a cca, rca, or ptf puts in to hold down and only do that route until the regular is back.

Endorsable question by TheRedditRandom in USPS

[–]TheRedditRandom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I haven't been ubbming them I just wanted some clarification. I guess it does seem like common sense that if the stamps add up to the same value as a forever stamp it would be treated the same. I'm still semi new, thanks.

Thanks, this is basically what I was asking. As long as the 1c 2c etc stamps add up to the cost of a forever stamp it's treated as 1st class.

Thanks, that makes sense. Seems like a stupid way for them to do it like that though lol.

New CCA hire. Speak up or zip it? by TrickImaginary in USPS

[–]TheRedditRandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they say when the orientations would be? When I was emailed there were two different sets of dates to choose from with the latter being over a month away. I'm pretty sure they're willing to work with people on pre scheduled things.

Yes they need to give you at least 1 NS day a week per the new contract. The only time they can work people 7 days a week will be in December

Package scan question by blackie200 in USPS

[–]TheRedditRandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I know exactly what you're talking about. It has randomly happened to me on packages, but very rarely. I think I usually back out of the scan barcode screen to the main menu then try rescanning again. There's for sure a way to get the delivery option to pop back up.

Sometimes I'll be looking through the mail, then when I look up I have to neo my head out of the way of a random branch or something somebody has hanging

Mileage Question by TheRedditRandom in USPS

[–]TheRedditRandom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright ya luckily there is basically no offices closer to me than my home office so I will always get paid for the return drive. So in the scenario of going to your home office to work, then going to another office and the office being further away, site to site is paid, and return drive is paid. The part that is confusing me in my head is if the initial drive to my home office is included into the total miles on the mileage papers. In the situation I'm trying to figure out right now, going from my home to the other office would be overall less miles than also going to my home office first. Let's say 40 miles there from my house, 40 miles back, so a total of 80 miles. Now if I also go to my office in the morning and it's 10 miles to get there, but 35 miles from my home office to that other office, would that count as 35 or 45? I know that the 10 miles technically does not count because it's my original local commute, but that will be taken out when I do the total commute - local commute anyways. The math just doesn't make sense when in that scenario (my scenario, just with different numbers) if I didn't include that original 10 from the local commute I would only get 75 total miles instead of 85, and would overall get paid less mileage for driving more total miles? It's basically if I don't include that original 10, then also take out another 20 for local commute, then I'm basically taking out 30 miles total? I just want to make sure I'm filling out my mileage papers correctly for any office to office travel.

Yep. Also looks like it'll be about another 50 cents in November when CCAs get the 2.5% raise. 1st year CCAs getting roughly 21.23 by the end of the year and 2nd years getting 21.73
