Have you ever wondered what a "Mileage Route" is?

 

 

 Mileage Routes
Salary for rural carriers serving routes classified as mileage (M) is determined under the
Rural Carrier Schedule (RCS) based on the length of the route as determined by the offici
measurement.

Mileage routes, also referred to as M or RCS routes, are regular routes
which the carrier is compensated on the basis of the route’s mileage and
RCS (mileage) schedule. Mileage routes are no longer established. As
existing mileage routes are vacated or standard hours increase so that t
evaluated salary of the carrier would exceed the RCS salary, they are
converted to the evaluated compensation system, at the appropriate
classification.
