Only one person needs to be a driver. But that person must sign for the van each day, so you can't have one person sign for the van and the other go deliver the parcels or drive it back.

why do offices let royal mail managers bring in this park and loop when
every day on this web site staff moan how its not working in there office.
has no one in your office told managers what is happening all over the country.

as soon as they start giving dates of when park and loop get the union to put in dissagreements
and the first one should be a loss of confidence with management.
remember staff outnumber management.

Until you get caught or are involved in a RTA.
Any time you take over responsibility for driving the van you have to sign the log book and perform a duty level vehicle check...that's any time and every time.

We started P&L last year on November 1st. It was a complete and utter diaster with only half of every walk going out at first. Managemts responce was to bully and harrass everyone as much as they could and now it all works fine. Almost everyone in the office comes in an hour early, works through their break and goes over by around an hour and all in an office that states "we will not pay overtime". On this base the whole thing was shown to be a great sucess. Enjoy.
