try fixed term temprary contracts they would expect you to downgrade to

if you have a full time contract with parcel force then guard it with your life

having heard what goes on at PF from a driver I think its a sane move.

Piece rate, owner driver, cover own leave and sickness - this is one case where our grass is greener, with a large dollop of brown, but still greener. :chuckle :chuckle

Unfortunately within deliveries there is not a lot of driving only jobs left, and those that are are disappearing fast.

You'd probably have to go to collections, or to the Mail Centre side, but even then in an MC I think you'd probably need a 600 license minimum.

Driving (and distribution) in MCs is going over to logistics.
