Well......today I come in and start casing R6 and actually doing pretty good not hunting and pecking to find where things go.Sounds like they know you can adapt and learn new routes. soon you will know all of them!
Next thing I know, my Postmaster tells me Im doing R12 instead. The girl who does R6 normally agreed to come in on her day off and do it. I had already marked the smalls and was starting on the packages, too.
I had to get a spare scanner to use because for some reason the one for 6 wouldnt let me use Load Truck feature. When you use that, you scan the UPS barecode on the package and it will tell you what section to put it and the stop number on the route. So, for example, it will say Section 2, and give you a number like 254. I write that number on the package and it helps put them in order.
You just have to keep an eye on the numbers and read the address so you know, hey, this house coming up gets this package.
For cardboard boxes or packages that wont fit in the mailbox, I use red cardstock markers. So if a box wont fit, I put the address number on the marker, say 1574, and find it in the case and put the row number on the box. Left side is A, middle case right in front is B, the right side is C...so if the number is in the 4th row in case A, I write 4A on the box.
The markers remind me that I have a package in the back and what row to look in. I was trying to find a picture to show you all what I mean, but cant find any online. I may just take a pic at work to show what Im talking about.
Anyway, tomorrow Im doing my primary route, 11. I forgot to check the schedule to see if they put me down for anything Friday. If not, Im going to another office that asked me to come help.
