7am-3pm

What I've never understood is why everything is always pushed backwards so we went from 5am to 6am then 7am,(then probably 8/9am) why can't other area's of the job for example collections, mail centres and the likes be brought forward instead so we could still start at something like 6am :/

- because that would involve employing more staff at Mail Centres and that would cost money.

Then you request a family friendly duty.
If you don't ask you don't get.

Probably partly because of walk sequencing, is your DO one of the nearest to the local MC of all the DOs that the MC serves?

By opening DOs later, for DOs nearer to the MC RM may well be able to get away with sending the first runs just after six in the morning so early shift drivers take over them runs, meaning less drivers needed on night shifts so they save money on night shifts by less people on night rate and having less drivers on nights means less professional drivers rate paid out on nights.

I would not be surprised if eventually a lot of DO duties will be first have deliveries say 11:00-15:00, then they return to the DO have meal relief, any missorts and undelivered items to wherever they get stored and/or processed in the DO. After meal relief they go out on collections.
