Allegedly space the York's will have a QR code on per york and you scan it and it loads everything into the PDA and says for eg this is 5 hours work because it's all figured out by R-ON .
The reality is somewhat probably different.........

Re: Drivers packet or not ?
That won't fully work as often yorks of work will get condensed when being loaded onto the lorries for the DO runs. Probbaly the drivers will bung some of the large into the sleeves as well.theotherone wrote: ↑14 Sep 2021, 11:11Allegedly space the York's will have a QR code on per york and you scan it and it loads everything into the PDA and says for eg this is 5 hours work because it's all figured out by R-ON .

We only scan Tracked and SDs in MCs so I don't know how they expect the system to know what's been sorted to what york

You're not using 'THE' template are you!clashcityrocker wrote: ↑13 Sep 2021, 16:12On a van share we no longer deliver our own oversize parcels.
Oversize parcels are segregated according to a template.
We cannot band parcels together to make them oversize.
On a note, nothing wrong with bundling up a ton of parcels for num 102, that has always been the norm.
Weird it's not at your place. And why are others stopping it?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Drivers packet or not ?
Years ago there was a template that fitted over a DBF. We are not using that.
We have a box with lines drawn on it.
The ban on bundling parcels together may be due to the huge backlog of parcels in the office (along with the huge backlog of letters and failed D2D) Some have been sitting there for 2/3 weeks.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Drivers packet or not ?
There is a template. I've seen it. It's not like the DBF one, but a cardboard box with a hatched area inside to indicate what is a Dedicated Parcel Route packet, and what's not.
There's nothing on it about doubling up parcels for the same address though (though, why not?).
Whoever was the planner for your revision might be able to get hold of the template and send one to your office.

Re: Drivers packet or not ?
If it's a long driveway I've added the letters to the packets as well (and I'll take them when I'm the driver too).Woodypecker wrote: ↑12 Sep 2021, 19:43So we had our revision,
One of the problems is when putting packets out for the driver,
They are simply returning the items back to the fitting frames because ( apparently ) your not supposed to be
Matching up 3 or 4 packets to make a large enough one for the driver, is this correct ?
Any feedback would be appreciated .
Also if it's an oversize for one of our terraced housing areas and there's say a 'half' oversize box for next
door we'll take them both too - then there's a fair chance you're likely to get rid of one to the neighbour
if the other isn't in - 'I've got this for you, do you mind taking this for next door too?'
Depends on how well you get on with your immediate colleagues I suppose.....

Huh? So you go to the address then a bit later a van driver is paid to go there too, when you have room in your van for it? Couldn't write it.clashcityrocker wrote: ↑13 Sep 2021, 16:12On a van share we no longer deliver our own oversize parcels.
