Full-Time Street Concept to Start Next Year for Letter
Carriers?
"USPS Chief Operating Officer Pat Donahue says a "casers and
deliverers" strategy could be implemented starting in early
2009. The plan would be to have about one caser per five
routes. The "casers" (perhaps T-6s) would report early in the
morning and prepare the mail for delivery on the five routes.
The "deliverers" would report later, get their mail
and keys, load
up, and deliver mail for seven hours and forty-five minutes or
more. It's part of a three-point strategy to reduce delivery
costs that also includes Spring and Fall route adjustments,
minor route adjustments based on COR data and goals for
district managers to eliminate one out of every twenty
routes." (Source: USPS-TV. See video at
