Re: Van Share!.
I have noticed on reading the various documents that even van share pairings with two drivers will only be allowed one designated driver per day.
So....no switching of drivers during delivery.
Obviously they have realised that changing over drivers requires a vehicle check and signing the log book.

Re: Van Share!.
Well no switching was the original tale....................then it became, you can switch but the log book had to be signed to signify that a changeover had taken place - however the locker log shows only the person who picks up and signs for the keys.................presumably BOTH would have to be presented as evidence so there is a possible conflict. Like all things there are no hard and fast rules and if there are - who pays attentionfishtank wrote:I have noticed on reading the various documents that even van share pairings with two drivers will only be allowed one designated driver per day.

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.
