The following is an excerpt from the 'President's Report' article from the Northern Virginia Branch 3520, September 2009 issue.

"The route adjustment process (MIARAP)continues.As long as volume continues to drop, the Postal Service will continue to inspect and adjust routes to try to capture any savings possible. I cannot stress enough the importance of being a good letter carrier. Do your job consistently every day. Keep in mind that the routes are adjusted using your clock rings. The more street time you show, gives less time to be added to the route. Keep your office time at a minimum. Any time spent on office time, when volume does not justify, will be taken away. If you are casing another route, make the clock ring move to that route. If you are waiting for mail, move to a waiting code. When you don't make those rings, that time will be lost on adjustment. And, when you do things like casing circulars, casing DPS, etc., you will lose all that time on adjustment as well. Losing that office time then translates to added street time to the route.
