DPR's are done by duties in our DO, it doesn't take long to work out duties 1,2,3,4 go in one York, duties,.5,6,7,8 in another. I don't need a PDA to tell me that.heapsy wrote: ↑15 Jul 2026, 05:45DPR isn't perfect either. In fact, it is illogical to some extent.clashcityrocker wrote: ↑14 Jul 2026, 11:20So when they introduce the DPRs how does anybody know the sorting?
How long do you think it takes to learn that level of sorting?
Why ask the person next to you when you have a machine in your hand that gives you the answer?
In comparison the letter sorting for the 3 postcode areas contains about 20 walks each.
The sorting is still fairly slow and inaccurate when a new person has to do it.
If I sort the letters I have a fairly good idea where everything goes because I have done every one of those walks at some point.
By contrast I have never done any of the DPR duties and two thirds are in postcodes where I have very limited experience.
Therefore it is much quicker to use a system where the machine tells you where to place the parcel.
How long does read two addresses throw into a York take, compared to scan bar code read York code throw into York? The fact it's not been rolled out nationwide suggests it's not efficient in DO's where there's not a massive turnover in staff.
