Two hours of delivering parcels was talked about and callers office some days. Does this come under any rule for outdoor hours
Basicly their going to put you where they need you.

well you had better get a solid agreement on what you would be doing
if its 2 hours of what suits them then it will most likely be foot deliveries!! 5,5 hour deliveries anyone?
