It's called HCT support if you have a revision you need to insist on these duties/hours being put back in

Without drop off boxes, the whole dropping off/replenishing more work to someone else doesn't work. We tried it before and you need to be in perfect sync with each other, which never happens.

Works perfectly at ours. Replenishment driver covers 6 HCT duties. Takes out the oversize parcels for those 6 duties and drops out bags when the HCT needs to be replenished. They just call the driver about 10 minutes before they need the bag. Used to do one of the duties for a short time about 5 years ago and never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for the bag.

Not a chance. All the "DDA duties" are already spoken for and we've not had any new staff member since the start of Covid. When anyone leaves for whatever reason, they get replaced with a casual.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑28 May 2025, 19:48Or a move to mail center as we are in it together, I’m sure they be willing opg who’d swap place![]()

How do they call the driver? On their own phones? Not using mine to do THEIR (RM) job for them !Zicomurphy wrote: ↑01 Jun 2025, 17:46Works perfectly at ours. Replenishment driver covers 6 HCT duties.

It'll be fairly easy to programme in your managers no's? Or you're manager will just call you each day to ask you were you want the van to meet you.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑04 Jun 2025, 13:37You can only call the programmed in saved numbers.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑04 Jun 2025, 11:42The PDAs have a built in phone functionalityqwerty2 wrote: ↑04 Jun 2025, 07:58How do they call the driver?

It’s stupid that the pda can scan, photo, track, and spy on us but you can’t call the person your working withTopperGas wrote: ↑04 Jun 2025, 17:19It'll be fairly easy to programme in your managers no's?
