[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2038963, member: 58386"] The difference is and this is under the core zone formula which is still in effect at my barn until ISP is completed. Now at one of the zips I covered had a stem mileage of 25 miles That's driving in a straight line however every morning 8 rural mail carriers left that Zip' s post office to go out and service that zips 480 mile rural carrier net work and I was right out there along with them.Therefore instead of what would be a 60 mile day covering the in town portion of that zip which is what the CZ was based on. It instead ended up a 155 to 180 mile trip Why?because when they set up the routes when the terminal was about to open they just sat there in the office with a road map . Never went out and measured the R.D network that stretched across 3 large rural counties. There were numerous other similar examples within the area I serviced. When i sold and left the guy who bought the route immediately had to put a full time supplemental on just to go out and cover the the R.D's because the one and only guy he could find to run the route would only do the in town portion refusing to stay out to 9PM or later every day trying to do both in town and the R.D's even when offered overtime. Sure I barked about it but what did it get? Nothing . The core zone formula was the governing formula despite it's failings . AS far as growth goes STFXG. The average percapita income in my service area $16,000per year. How much growth are you going to have in a business that is based on consumption and a population that is declining in number?
