travel expenses
Hello, I travel over 40+ miles a day to get to work and back, using my car. Do royal mail cover travel expenses?

Re: travel expenses
No, except if they expect you to work at an office further from home than the one where you are based 
but taking the van home for overnight retention works well for many of us.

Yes but only in certain specific circumstances, and with a lot of constraints and implications for the driver. Usually though its only when there is not enough parking for the offices vehicles.

Re: travel expenses
But surely most Delivery Offices don't have enough parking for the vans and living six miles away will save you about £250 a year in petrol and wear and tear of your car.TrueBlueTerrier wrote:chuckleberry wrote:wasn't aware that you could take the van. Is this true that it's possible?
