The "planning" will be something like "can you take 20 Tracked from Town pod 1 duty", on Monday & Tuesday that'll work fine, then on the Wednesday the singleton driver will say they've got far too many tracked to do extra and the manager will probably agree to avoid upsetting the old timer.

It's a barmy way to try and run offices.

120 Delivery units have deployed DM26 up to Monday 13th July.... all 120 are small and medium units.

I believe there are 1,200 total units across the country.

As it's now 20th July, I guess this is up from 120 now, so over 10% deployed.

In our office all the rurals are literally coming in early to do some easy indoor work then only having to take half of there frames out, I have said the manager it is going to create a full 2 tier workforce which it is, rurals in most cases are already easier and get far less volumes of parcels, when you are a pair the driver already has 2 frames of oversized parcels to deal with, it's always a sigh of relief when I get put on a rural for a few days.
