Ours sat gathering dust they screw up the loops that bad.
The trolleys do not screw up the loops, it's the unrealistic figures being put into the system that makes the use of trolleys not realistic.

The park and loop idea is fine, trolleys are fine, it's the process abused by managment to save money that is fooking everything up :so there

and if they are gathering dust because they slow people down it begs at least two questions of the posties not using them.

1. Why are you hurting your own earning potential.
2. Don't you want them to recruit more people to help.

If they are not that bothered ............................. pfhhhhhhhh

Loops made smaller. Now no need for trolleys unless your over 5.5k, so they are a waste of money gathering dust.
...but from our point of view...why would you? :whistle
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

18months ago used a golf trolley, on trial, on what used to be a 3hr 15m to 3hr 45m delivery, as part of a new delivery methods trial... took 4hr 30, on a 3hr 25 day... and that was an ideal p&l situation. Revisions, by and large DON'T WORK! Work your hours, and no more. Time to push the H&S with the runners, I think... Whadya reckon Dingo?

I work as reserve cover full time and find trolley don't for me. It make you slower but there is less wear and tear and tiredness on body after work. It is hard to finish on time on heavy days without trolley.
