You can use your car, and that goes for everyone - but you have to fill in the correct forms and supply your documents for inspection.Grantyboy wrote:Dont use your car. i dont understand how people from my office have been sacked for using thier cars yet people on here talk about insuring their cars to deliver mail?POSTMAN wrote:Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Actually, it costs me £13 a week for a bus pass instead of £10 a week petrol....russell1973 wrote:simple...dont use your own car then it will cost u £0.
On a serious note though, how many foot delivery staff on here have a car but DONT use it? In my office the number is zero, everyone with a car uses it.

No,no no no no no no, do not use your car ,what if your float is a non driver or better still not a mug eh? ,there will probably be no provision of a bike or trolley because they would have been withdrawn because of the shear volume of numpties in your office.

Re: Car insurance for delivery
Never had bikes or trolleys in our office. Pouch drop point is a shop right in the middle of the walk, which is where I take my bags and also leave the car. I split my walk down into light bags because I have a knee condition (not caused by being a Postie!) and I can't be bothered waiting around for drivers forever, I had enough of that.bedfordrl wrote:Good GriefOnAFlyer wrote:russell1973 wrote:simple...dont use your own car then it will cost u £0.

Er, no it isn't. Have a look around the forum -the bulk of the problems we are now facing are caused by a computer program (pegasus/Georoute) which has nothing whatsoever to do with using cars.axeman wrote:They never broke me i'd wait forever come rain or shine not my problem ! i do not intend now or ever to use any of my cars for the purposes of conveying mail. it's people like you whov'e caused the bulk of the problems we are now facing. o.k if it was ''your'' business then you'd have a shout but for an uncaring dictatorship led by greed from the top no,no i'll not cave in far to resiliant

It's not my fault I work in a good office and Pegasus, Collapsing, Banking of hours and a table top revision have all been fine.
The people that are actually the worst at the moment are the idiots that are working over their time every day, completing 5 and 6 hour walks when the agreement is 3.5hrs.

That's unfair linkinpark, most of us of a certain age like the muppets but we would find it difficult to like any of these people, instead of calling them muppets we should call then mps or lawyer
