Amount of Specials allowed to take out?

[Bert66]

Hi what is the agreed amount i can take out in a van if it does not have a safe box in the back of the vehicle?

Thanks.

We had a bloke take out about 50 today, and none of our small vans have "safe" boxes

Do not carry more than the maximum number allowed. Do not expose yourself to risks.
If it is a high risk area then refer to the “WalkSafe” threat assessment procedure as it may
be necessary to reduce the number or remove these items completely on certain walks.
The important thing is that a Walk Risk Assessment must be carried out and such assessments
based on local knowledge and previous incidents may override these standards to ensure
the most appropriate safety and security protection levels are maintained at all times.
(A maximum of 8 Special Delivery (SD) individual items per walk may be carried each day,
of which no more than 3 may be higher value SD items, a maximum of 48 SD individual
items per walk each week of which no more than 18 may be higher value SD items. Walks
exceeding this standard number of items per week must to be Risk Assessed to determine
the appropriate method of delivery and whether it needs to be motorised. Ideally collection
and deliveries in town centre areas should be motorised. For the full details on Motorised/
Vehicle SD Delivery/Collection refer to Royal Mail Internal Information Special Delivery
Pipeline Conveyance Guidelines for the collection, delivery and distribution of SD items.

I had 59 RD and a 1 Special once - I had to 739 48 of them and the delivery took me 4hrs 30 (normally 2hrs-2.15!)

If I had 500 i'd just post the lot through
