With the change to USO. All non drivers are meant to put them into the frame on a Saturday since they can't go out in a van to deliver parcels.
Then meant to be warm called.
The idea sounds like it would work on paper.
Would be a mess in practice.
Since when, they have HTCs that can take a heck of a lot of tiny tracked. Why should drivers be the only ones to go out in all weather's to deliver . No excuses.

Some do that at ours, until they get kicked out at locking up time which is about an hour after they stopped getting paid :crazy:

Too much fatigue. A day of rest is needed

Absolutely right there's no reason why lots of tracked can't be delivered via HCT, the problem comes when they are scattered here there and everywhere.

I think most (definitely not everyone) would rather take a HCT of tracked than sit doing D2D for a full shift

They seem to be optional at our place. New starters never touch them.
Perhaps they don't get paid d2d money Lou Barlow ?

It's the weekly delivery supplement we don't get paid, which came about after the D2D payments stopped I think, which is prob why many still see it as D2D payments
