Hi,
Wonder if anyone knows is there a limit to the amount of special delivery items you can carry in a bag ?
Or does it not matter ?
Thanks

not that I have heard. personally I only ever carry the specials I am to deliver on that particular loop.
Are you on an HCT duty? You are supposed to carry all specials with you if so. Many times it's not practical to do so.

Maximum a pouch delivery can take is 8.

For a CDV pairing/Van Delivery - No limit

HCT - depends on size and value. No actual limit but on size as you can't leave them in a HCT if you have a few bigger ones they should be passed to a relief driver. On value, if you deliver high-value items regularly in bulk to a Jeweller, bookie etc, then for security matters the manager should regularly risk assess the best method of delivery,

I thought the van limit was 50? We had to show a exemption certificate for one of our drivers who takes over that to the security auditor.
