Park N Loop - ideas needed

[gb93]

Quick Question.

After a delivery methods revision and/or a wsm revision and the duty picks start is there anything in the agreement about how duties are paired up.

Meaning is there rules on FT/FT FT/PT and PT/PT matching up on duties.

Hope question is clear

I might have the wrong idea about park and loop, but how would you see the person you share the van with enough to be bothered about the smell etc? Won't you be walking the streets 99% of the time, just going back to van to get another bag? Won't one move the van, and the other meet it at the new location having done a few streets? I wouldn't have thought you'd be together much apart from to and from duty.

3.5 hrs delivery/20 minute loops - 7.5 times, then parcels, tracked specials for another hour - would you want to spend that amount of time with some old decrepit slowcoach postie, smelling of stale urine and cabbage - well you won't be partnering me then

-----------------glad I'm not sharing with you then, but seriously--some folks have that horrible lingering stench that ataches itself to you even after a couple of minutes--and I for one will not get in a van with them. I once made the mistake of giving a lift (in my own car) to one of these gents, and the smell impregnated itself to my car seat, and stayed for weeks! Ugh

Do/will both posties be delivering the oversized/tracked/special packets? Surely it would be more efficient to have the 'non driver' given extra loops while the driver delivers these alone?

Right well you could be right BUT they both have a 3.5 hour delivery, now if the non driver did an hours extra delivery, his delivery would be 4.5 hours and the drivers would be 2.5 hrs and an hour plus for packets, specials etc they wouldn't be finishing at the same time.

Why not split the delivery equally, have the driver drive to packet delivery point and non driver deliver the actual packet ( and driver can fetch out next packet from the back of the van or whatever ). I'm not saying that cos I can drive a van either ( I'm considering asking to be the non driver, due to the possibility of having overnight responsiblity of the OMV )

Hmmm

I thought we would now be going over the 3.5 now or is that still one of the unanswered questions?! And I dont think that if the non-driver had extra loop/s while the driver did packets it would mean different finishing times. I thought the idea was that with the trolleys, we would be carrying more/larger packets than we currently do, so it could be the case that the driver would only have the really oversized/tracked to do. Or am I thinking all this through wrongly?
