Park and Loop query???

Post by karchun »

I was wondering what the frames will be like next week as i'm a sat. worker - my manager has told me that i will be driving with a fellow colleague and that i won't be going my usual walk duty...She told everything will be sorted when ii get in next week - will the frames be one big one or will it just consist of two walks just as a team?

There will be 2 duties and you'll have 1 BIG frame each :cuppa
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Surely you have an idea of the new walk you are doing because you took part in an office P&L resign?

Have you had any training on any new equipment?
Trolleys? PDA?

For the trolley - yes, basic open and close mechanism and the manager said they'll teach me the pda on saturday!!
Btw why pda??? Would that mean i wouldn't need the delivery sheet (epod) anymore??

Try and take a signed for sheet with you as the PDA's have a habit of running out of charge or decide to reboot whilst your at a customers door. No matter how many times you hand them the PDA the customers always turn them around and press all the buttons!
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Wouldn't it be more annoying to use the pda due to its size???

If you've been trained on how to use it and you have been issued your pin number you have to use it. Just make sure you take a card with you as a back up.

Also with the trolleys make sure you have some bag clips so you can fasten the bags to the trolleys either side .Put the packets in one and mail in the other is the best way

If you're just popping up some steps to deliver,just make sure the trolley pouches are zipped up,tbf they should always be zipped up anyway.
If you have to go into flats then the trolley needs to be zipped up and padlocks used,then the trolley needs to be chained up to something.

This kind of stuff especially if you have to leave the trolley unattended should of been sorted during the revision.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
