THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION ITS NOT BASED ON ANY OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION

Well- my best advice would be to get a few lads together and come up with a plan that allows for seniority on the repick, but also allows for all the CDVs having at least 1 driver. After all no point in having a van with 2 non drivers sitting in it, they won't deliver much.

I am an non driver for RM. But I can see that it is a common sense approach for those that can drive to select their duties first, and the walkers 2nd (but both groups in their own seniority order). If a driver does not want to select a driving position then he goes into the walkers list at the appropriate seniority.

However, even this plan would fail if there were 20 driving duties and only 15 drivers out of 25 selected a driving slot - Would RM really allow a driver to stay in a walking slot :hmmmm

If however, there were more drivers than driving slots then the remaining drivers should drop into the walkers list at the relevant seniority.
walkers list whats that?both of you walk we have it in now and it all worked out well been lucky tho we have 2 drivers in one van on 8 of the duties and all the rest our paired up with a non driver lost 6 full time drivin firm dutys and cut down to 3 now doin 2 firm drops.9 0clock regs and a 1230 collection for now that is :Very Happy
