A message from the District Manager Scott Hooper…

Setting a Good Example in the Holiday Homestretch The term “homestretch” describes that moment in a race when the finish line is in sight – when athletes dig deep to find that extra surge to finish in first place. That’s where the Postal Service is right now – in our holiday homestretch. The next several days will bring continued high volumes of cards, letters and especially packages. The Dallas District is doing all they can to help deliver the holidays and I thank you for your hard work. All employees should strive to set a good example, especially when it comes to safety. Be sure to follow these guidelines: • Continue wearing your face covering properly, stay away at least six feet away from others, and wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds. • Stay aware at all times, especially in high-traffic areas, loading docks, and anywhere motorized equipment and vehicles are operating. • When operating a motor vehicle, follow all safety instructions to avoid rollaway/runaway accidents. • Be aware of children, pets and others while on the delivery route; holidays mean more people out of school and work and more people in neighborhoods during the day. Serving our customers is the Postal Service’s mission and we should also set good examples for excellent customer service, including: Saying “No to the Throw,” accurate delivery, and accurate scanning. Do the right thing, even when no one is looking – Cameras are everywhere today, so keep in mind that you represent the postal brand when delivering, serving customers at the counter or in the lobby, and any time you are on duty. Always assume someone is watching, because they probably are. This holiday season, let’s all set a good example by putting safety first, as we successfully fulfill our mission of serving our customers. Let’s dig down and find that added effort that puts us over the finish line. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to our customers and to each other. I extend my best wishes to you and your families for a Happy Holiday.
