Trolley duty starting distance

Post by andy3665 »

Is there a set distance a trolley walk can start and finish? I'm covering one this week which starts and finishes about 1.4 miles from the office and considering it was a very light day took me 4 hours to complete. It was the first time I've done so I know I'll get quicker and I know I am one of the fastest walkers in our office so that doesn't bother me.

1 Mile and should be no more than a 15 minute walk.

Andy you won't get any quicker. your trolley will be heavier for longer on a busy day and so you will more likely get slower. 4hrs light day so you are looking at 5 hrs maybe 5.20 for a busy day. as a fellow trolley dolly I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
