Octocam: All VMF positions are Regular. There are no PTF's in the VMF. You have to check with your district to see what exam's are open. In addition to the jobs you listed,there might be a exam for Garageman (mechanics helper). You also might need a CDL Class A or B with air brakes,depending on where you work,or what type of vehicles are in the fleet. As for pay levels,Auto Mechanics are either Level 7 or 8.

I was thinking of converting over to the MVS Craft as an Automotive Mechanic.

I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.

What kind of positions are there? Are most of the positions for PTFs or Regulars?

Also, does anyone have a list of the different positions? I think I seen Automotive Painter? Body and Fender Repairman?

Also, any pay level information would be appreciated since I'm a Level 6 Clerk right now I don't really want to make less.

theyve been trying to scan all the mail/cages but with the lack of mailhandlers and space on the platform theyre not able to do it the way they want.

More importantly, each station has just begun 4/29 scanning us upon our arrival. Well see how long it lasts. This CANT be good.

MANAGEMENT WANTS TO SCAN ALL MAIL ON AND OFF TRAILERS. AND SCAN ARRIVAL/ DEPARTURE TIMES TO THE POST OFFICES. IS THIS NATION WIDE? ANY GRIEVANCES ON THIS?

Has anyone seen this yet? Management says that vehicle inspections are level eight and nine,under the old system. Now that Techs are eights management wont pay for higher level when a tech does his own PM Inspection. The job description didn't change the level did.Techs that do there own inspections get higher level nine pay.

WOW!! I am at a medium size P&DC. FedEx would bring about 3 or 4 parcels a day. That stopped. Now DHL is bringing enough parcels to fill an OTR. Another company brings 2 or 3 skids of parcels everyday. After reading your post (SPOTTERON) I understand it better.

"Parcel Select is very reliable, with a 98 percent on-time delivery rate. And both products are as convenient as it gets — right to the door, six days a week. None of our business partners — including FedEx, UPS and DHL — can deliver or pick up a package as economically as we can.

And we’ve been listening to our partners, who say they want to use our products more, but that price is a sticking point. So starting May 12, we’ll offer rebates for Parcel Select, and lower the price for parcel returns picked up from our Post Offices. That will encourage more business from our current partners and new business from other shippers."

The above quote, from USPS PMG, signals another way that MVS Craft mvo's and tto's are going to get it in the end. Beginning May 12th, when "new pricing" goes into effect, our competitors/partners will be taking {being given} more of our work. UPS, DHL, Fed-Ex, etc., will not only be dropping off parcels at post office docks for carriers to deliver, they will ALSO be picking up loads of undeliverable parcels from these same docks, thus eliminating the need for MVS to transport them. I guess our job description of moving bulk quantities of mail doesn't apply when our "partners" are available to do it for us.......

After the circut boards were changed and it still happened. We found the inline fuse holder on the back wall behind the seat was failing, wiggle it and the spotter shut down.
