Re: DPR start times
Ours start at 13.30 and usually have 3 or 4 yorks of oversize packets, some also had a couple of loops of letters added on in our botched revision

Re: DPR start times
Is the DPR using local hubs 100% confirmed to be going live at the start of June? If it does indeed start then, it'll mean that our large packet setups will end up being way smaller. No idea what affect it'll have on dispatch times, the DOs that aren't hubs, I don't know if their dispatches will be made later as there'll be less work to go on the early runs

Re: DPR start times
Ours start at 0730 and they are meant to drop 20 an hour. Got a Lat guy who comes in about 1300 too to clear a chunk of LATs.

Re: DPR start times
The beauty of the DPR routing system is you can just wave the PDA under a managers face and say I've got 4 hours work plus a break plus drive back you can only do what the gun says you can do. Been told we are converting to a hub in 8 weeks. The joke is the mail centre is based in one of the postcodes we will deliver to so all the parcels will be loaded onto a wagon driven down the road to us where we will load them on to a wagon and drive.thwm back where they came from. You couldn't make it up

Re: DPR start times
It'll be down to the location that PDAs are "tagged to". If the MC were to send someone out to deliver them, it would f**k up the figures for your office, as the system would expect the items to be delivered using a PDA from your officejessicarabbit wrote: ↑16 May 2023, 17:39The beauty of the DPR routing system is you can just wave the PDA under a managers face and say I've got 4 hours work plus a break plus drive back you can only do what the gun says you can do.
