DPR drivers 40 hrs

[DPC]

DPR drivers. Roughly how many large parcels are you doing daily ?? curious as i'm doing around 100/110 a day in one load.

About 140/150 when I do it. Depends how spread out they are.

Over the Xmas seasonal period which starts today, those of us on new 30 hour contracts start our oversize only duties, manager exlects 100 parcels delivered in the 6 hours, 1pm till 7pm

Usually 80+ but it’s hard to tell , roughly 4 cages is about right , can sometimes get lucky with a lot of bulky items that make it look worse than it is or 10 items for 1 address which is always handy , swings and roundabouts basically.

Anything up to 200 parcels (not stops) on a DPR at ours, though the average is about 150 at the moment just due to the sheer size of the boxes and limited van-space capacity.

To squeeze every extra drop of work, at our place a few of us are being brought in early to scan up the DPR routes, number parcels and load them onto vans, meaning these additional Peak DPRs are literally just turn up and go — come in, get van keys, do van check, hit the road.

Our place has a 2pm to 20.20 plan in place.

I've heard they expect 20 drops per hour based on 5 hours.

No way are you going to get anywhere near that figure when we will be leaving just as schools are coming out and you will be delivering in darkness on a different route everyday.

I'm not going to do what the "Agency" drivers are doing to hit those numbers currently.
Package on doorstep, ring bell, take picture and leave.
Deliveries not even attempted with Inaccesable or no one in being entered on PDA.
