That doesn't make any sense. If the mail is prepped in the bag why put it back in the frame. Might as well just get somebody else to go out with those bags.

I think it's the lack of an available 'somebody else' that is the problem here. Every rollover I've done, I've prepped it all back into the frame. Doesn't take too long as it is all sequenced for you. From a manager's point of view, it's way more efficient than paying for those streets to be walked twice in one day (assuming that the office just pays OT on actual hours worked, like ours does).
