Tell your rep to get on to Ward and Hayes. They agree with management that mail levels are dropping. Unbelievable but true! :wave

DOM is very pissed off though as im going over my time and getting me picked up means OT for a driver aswell as myself, i cut off some days and that just impresses him further :left:

Nothing on all last week at our office, every day was slack. Had a few National trust mags on Friday but 6 or so per walk doesn't make much difference. Just after xmas it was crap but it's really quietened down now.

I disagree with it being the way forward. I can complete a walk about 20% faster without a trolley. The only way trolleys will ever be the way forward is if they cut the rounds by 20%. I think we all know that's not going to happen....

IMHO it depends on the walk.. some are suited to using a trolly others aren't..... simples

Actually you might be right on this, but when you live in the Cotswolds with lots of hills and valleys, pulling a trolley around isn't much fun. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a flat walk in my office.

Kinda proves my point really... your walks appear NOT to be suitable yet there are walks in my office where its been proven that a trolley is way faster and easier than using a pouch.
