This must be a van duty and who gets to leave at 0805 these days? How many miles/drops does this cover? What time is your missort run?

I know of rurals in my office that are up to 6 hours long (or 2 hours Pegasus times) and they don't have to wait on missorts.

Delivery span is 3.5 hrs from the time of your 1st letter to the time of you're last letter. This doen't mean that you cut off at that point. You are expected to work up to your finishing time (if you still have mail to deliver) which is when you arrive back at the office and finish unloading etc. .

If you know before you go on delivery that you can't complete in time then you are entitled to ask for relief, or arrange to not take out your summer savings part for that day or both :-P.

Only bulk duties are allowed out at our office in order to make some inroads in the 9 oclock business mail, which has to be done again because the sorters don't finish til 0845 - so obviously no walking duty would be out before 0800 because the mail hasn't been sorted and prepped.
