How do you fit everything in your Van?

Post by sixfoottwo »

Just curious :hmmmm

We now have to take the oversize stuff since the office got rid of the dedicated parcel duties and along with all the tracked/standard parcels plus 2 walks it's an absolute joke really, if you mislay anything in the van you struggle to find it as we can barely fit it all in.

We don't deliver everything to be clear as it's far too much although surprise surprise the Tracked gets done funnily enough :roll:

You must be kidding, people keep saying mail is massively down? Some on here are struggling to fill their time? Surely tracked arnt being prioritised? The USO is being adhered to so you cant be leaving letters in or bringing them back? I know who I believe and it isnt them....

The ex parcel duty holders have still kept hold of their vans but most are riding in rusty combos so not everything will fit. Oh well too bad…

Tell the manager you will take one walk out and come back to the office for the other
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Probably your best bet then when you come back for 2nd walk you can tell the manager how much of it you will be taking with you and how much your leaving in😁

Quite easily sixfoottwo.

The 1st round goes across the back doors and the 2nd round from the side doors.
Absorbtion is put in 1st as we do it last, overtime as well.

You have a start time, you have a finish time. Out of time, bring it back. And the tracked if you have to
