4 loops each per frame. 30 to 40 minutes each loop. Don't take large packets.

Horizontal frames.

Don't complete each day.

6 loops per frame. Most of them 40-50 minutes. Vertical frames but they don't change the assignment of loops. Van share partners work out over time which ones they'll do each day.

It just depends, ours are 6 each, we've had to completely redo both frames though.

Wow some of these jobs sound easy. We have paired jobs that have 12 loops on each frame. Were designed for the oversize being removed but because there’s no staff you have to take them as well.

For some reason I couldn't understand you are only allowed to have 6 loops per duty.

It is simply a number on a sheet.
It doesn't mean when you are actually on delivery you have to have 6 loops. You can break it up as you see fit.
But just as long as the system thinks you have 6 everything is fine.
We do 10 and 7 but don't tell anyone.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Some of the loops in our revision are so uneven (and often end miles from the van, like both posties do 2 miles either side of the same road then dead walk back together) that we just rejig them accordingly
