cdv van loads

[hamishhotshot]

how do we check the weight of the load of the cdv and whats the max

[DGP1]

There's a sticker on the dashboard somewhere telling you the maximum weight on the van (for a Combo it's about 545kg), so you plus the mail should not weigh over it (use your office scales to check the weight of the mail).

And if you suspect the van to be overloaded then tell your DOM and take it to the nearest weighbridge

and while your driving to the nearest weigh bridge dont let the police see you

As long as you are travelling to the weighbridge then you don't have to worry about the police

Just the suspension...

TBH If it's noticeable then maybe you need to offload a thing or two

So if your park and loop buddy was clinically obese you would legally have to load less mail into the van?
Is it fair therefore that fatties do less work?

Both of you would work less..............what your van share buddy does then so do you

Should seniority be replaced by weightiority?
A fat person has to be paired with a thin person to ensure the van isn't overweight.

The repick would begin with thin full-timers, then fat full timers, followed by thin part-timers (who can't pick into a pair with a thin full-timer)and fat part-timers (who can't pick into a pair with a fat full-timer)

Is there anything in the Downloads section to confirm this?

[DGP1]

Now...............I think I've the body of the man on the left but everyone else thinks it's the other one so which one would I be

And if I throw a strop do I get to chose a fatty to be paired up with

Would a resign be triggered if more than 30% of the workforce had put on or lost a lot of weight?

We do not have scales in our office, a weighbridge is 17 miles away, we would have to go off route, what do we do if like xmas the van is full?

Travel 17 miles then if you suspect that you van is over the limit then it's YOUR responsibility to ensure that it's not by either taking mail out until you're happy or weighing everything before going in or going to the weighbridge. If anything goes wrong then you will be the one in trouble not your DOM so use that to your advantage.

Stay legal............Stay safe.

There should be a guide sticker in the van that will give you a rough idea.
It usually tells you the number of pouches/people the van should be carrying.

What we do is take less out, then claim o/t cos we have too reload the van later!!!
