Re: specials
Exactly. They resist putting anything in writing so you may have to force it. Text them the question. If they only reply verbally, send another text stating something like, ‘To confirm, doing . . . with the specials as instructed.’SMS1969 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2024, 06:14Ask your manager and get it in writing .fallenworld202233 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2024, 21:56correct, i dont start till 11am the now, so come christmas time not get out till 12 probably, so giving me an hour, whats the best thing to put on the pda? no answer, inaccessible? remember every office is different, some of us are start really late now, u must be in one of the lucky offices gets out early

Re: specials
We were briefed a few weeks ago that the 1pm Specials won't be 1pm target time anymore.
That was RM's realisation when adjusting the lorry times etc.
Since then, we haven't been updated any further.
I suppose it's not really an issue if your back in the office at 12:30 ?

Re: specials
You have 2 options:
1. You tell your manager you won't be able to reach that address in time to fulfil the 1pm spec.
They then take it off you or tell you to deliver it after 1pm.
2. You get there before 1pm.
None of it involves fraudulent or incorrect scans which could possibly get you sacked or seriously annoy the customers.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: specials
We often have a few stray specials mixed in with the LATs. Not out fault just do them when you can.
