Potential Problems Common to Carrier Routes

D
: The red carrier route stops and then restarts in a cul de sac. There is a chance that the carrier will deliver everything between the two address ranges (duplicated deliveries). These errors can be minimized by defragmenting carrier routes or by giving the same carrier both routes to deliver at the same time.

E: There is also a chance that the carrier will not find the cul des sac section altogether (missed deliveries). Providing the delivery workers with route maps can go far in minimizing these omissions.

F: This single street is served by three carrier routes (yellow, blue, and red). The carrier delivering the yellow route must not only pay attention to starting and stopping address ranges, she must also constantly note the even-numbered, odd-numbered, or both even and odd-numbered side of the street designations. She, or the persons delivering other routes, can easily miss or duplicate some deliveries.
 

Delivery verification surveys (telecheck) and complaints from advertisers or the general public may help identify and correct some of these problems. See related topic: The Catch-22 of Directory Delivery Quality Control
