Cars On Delivery Really Gonna Be Stopped ?

Post by AnnexeB »

I ask this, cos if these changes are made about stopping Cars on delivery, and also later start times .... then how will overtime be done on other walks ?????
Surely the only way, would be to have overtime drop bags, dropped off by RM instead of the usual practice of people putting the overtime in their cars !!!!
Added to which, if you`re not finishing your own duty till gone 3pm....come the winter months, will we be seeing our posties delivering in the dark, up to and beyond 5pm ?????

Funnily enough I was asked to do some O/T today (it is a bit on a walk that no one wants to do as it is very odd... I know it so no problem)

I said that I'd do it on my way home and use my car to get there.

No problem!!!

Go figure

What do you guys think? You think because RM are saying something that must mean its true? :d'oh! and your logic is because.. RM always tell you the truth?!
Yeah sure cars are going to be stopped from being used on delivery, because RM are investing in state of the art modern equipment and besides Know one will have overtime because all your walks will be timed and tested because RM's higher management have your safety prioritised over their profit margins.." ;liar

Best thing to happen in the short term,but when the CDV's come in the drivers will be onto a winner.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Already stopped in a lot of offices. Once car derived vans come in you will be taking the work van home anyway (if there's no room in you DO car park for them) so no need to use uninsured private vehicals.

Questions...
When the agreement is agreed how long before the ban comes in force.
And,even though NO mail is taken can car users take their car out to their 1st pouch box/del point and wait for a driver to drop stuff off.

It's NOT for me as such but i will be asked this at my place.

It is my understanding Postman that the ban on private cars is when your office has its new delivery methods revision implemented.

I.E. CDV and HCT, Therefore negating the need for anybody to drive in private car to 1st delivery point.

Just my opinion.
