Re: Door to door allocated prep times
Ive put hardly any in this year, the frame is never clear and I can’t take 10 days mail out (all double slots) to put them in. Best I’ve achieved is 2 loops

No, no overtime, prep some d2d's in between getting back and signing out (siso).ted_e_bear wrote: ↑21 Mar 2026, 16:11What so they pay you overtime to put them in or are you saying when you've finished and got back early ?BenacreNick wrote: ↑21 Mar 2026, 15:37Each day's d2d's are always done the day before, ie when we get back, so there's no faffing about in the morning trying to do them before the mech trays.
I was told a few weeks ago that DK is embarrassed by d2d's and that he wants rid of them, However I suspect the £2b income (it could be more ?) tells a different story ?
