We don't turn our DTS off, we're not allowed to. If the sequencing is wrong then the relevant person at your DO needs to pull their finger out and make sure that all the data in Route Planner is up to date.Londonsburning wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 13:13We beat our record last night by a massive amount for the total number of shaftings we could run across all our DOs we feed.

Re: USO pilots, can anyone on the trial give an honest appraisal
So I need to tell my "COMS" to stop being so lazy and incompetent? Gotcha, I'll just go and do that for the 4 millionth time and everything will be hunky dory as of next week, thanks for the sage advice SP

Please can you explain to me what CSS means, what it does and how is it different to the DST machine?SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 13:33We don't turn our DTS off, we're not allowed to.

Which machine is the one that chucks every single item for every postcode into the same yorks?claretandblue wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 17:31It's the walk sorting machine.Barnacle wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 16:51Please can you explain to me what CSS means, what it does and how is it different to the DST machine?SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 13:33We don't turn our DTS off, we're not allowed to.

Specials, small packets, oversize, letters you name it, all in one, none if it is even vaguely sorted.

Re: USO pilots, can anyone on the trial give an honest appraisal
Probably a packet sorting machine, not all MCs have got one. We pull out any specials that we see and they go over to the SD locker. Large get pulled out and go over to the large setup. If it's a direct york from a superhub, we don't touch it, it gets wheeled straight from the bay the artic arrives on to the bay for the run to whatever DO it is.sindba wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 18:54Which machine is the one that chucks every single item for every postcode into the same yorks?claretandblue wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 17:31It's the walk sorting machine.Barnacle wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 16:51Please can you explain to me what CSS means, what it does and how is it different to the DST machine?SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑14 Mar 2025, 13:33We don't turn our DTS off, we're not allowed to.

Re: USO pilots, can anyone on the trial give an honest appraisal
It's farcical having the Specials signed out of the locker all secure like it's the nuclear codes when in reality they were fished out the packet yorks that morning. I thought the whole point was they ran parallel and segregated through the network until merging with the other mail streams at the final mile.
The machine stops.
