Rural carriers gain automated bidding

Rural carriers in three districts now have easy and convenient access to automated job bidding.

As of June 18, rural carriers in the Northland (Minnesota and Wisconsin), Central Illinois and Tennessee districts must use automated bidding. The online process will be extended to all rural carriers by the end of fiscal year 2010.

Rural carriers in these districts now have the same access to automated bidding as clerks, letter carriers and mail handlers. Access options include eJob bidding located at LiteBlue; H.R. kiosks and Web-bidding computers; or through phone bidding interactive voice response at 877–477–3273, option 2 (TDD/TTY at 800–865–7208).

To bid, rural carriers need to know their employee identification number (EIN), postal PIN and their preference of positions. No PIN? No problem. Go to LiteBlue’s Log In page, click on “Forget Your PIN?” Then, enter your EIN and request a new one.
