drop bags

[Lounge Lizard]

our office the drivers take the bags out at 1015 put them in the safe drops and then go about there other business the only ones who have to wait are those fcuk wits that dont do there job properly and as they are ball less stooges they would never have ago at the drivers just grass them up to the lms who do nothing so that side of our office is ok.

Well when van share comes in you won`t have this problem.

You will, they won't both be ready to leave in the van at the same time, then they will be walking round at different paces all day, and that's before one moans about the others driving, singing, BO, etc., it'll all end in tears.

van share another big nail in our coffin and job loses on the horizon basically there will b no need for drivers except p/t drivers to do the 12.00,15.00 and 17.00 collections oh how the futures not bright in royal mail

and then there's the argument about which station the radio is on.

It works both ways. Sometimes a walker is waiting if the driver is delayed for whatever reason and sometimes the driver is waiting if the walker is taking too long sorting. Surely with a bit of cooperation between the two something can be sorted out so that nobody is unduly inconvenienced.

not sometimes,it's been stated the walker waiting DAILY, the driver doing bulk and specials before dropping bags off.ohh and god forbid a walker working his time,then the drivers get thier arse up and try as hard as they can to rush them.

i take it your a driver

the OP doesnt make it clear if this affects his ability to complete the duty, as annoying as it can be to wait unless it is affecting your ability to complete on time I dont see much grounds for taking this further. However, there can be some steps you can take to lessen the annoyance (if you dont do these things already)

- ensure you take you meal break before you leave the office (i saw another poster saying you should take it while waiting - ABSOLUTELY NOT !)
-work at a normal pace (if you ARE currently rushing around - you know the driver will be late anyway so you might as well make this work for you)
-consider the use of a hct or trolley, you can take 2+ bags at a time and its less weight on your shoulders.

if however this is causing a problem with you actually completing your delivery without having to rush around (because of lost time waiting) on time the correct procedure in my mind would be-

1. in the most courteous way ask your driver if there is a problem getting bags to you at the time you request
2. make a note of his response
3. dont rush because of late drop bags, if this then causes you to fail delivery, return mail at the end of the duty and state the driver being unable to get your bags to you on time as the reason for your failure to complete.
