Collections and network drivers

[shankle]

could anyody tell me what the job of a collections and network driver entails, i.e how much driving is involved, how many drops/collections are made, how much time is spent in the depot, and out of the depot, etc. All it is is that I have been offered a job by royal mail as a collections and network driver, the only problem is I love the job i am currently in (which is also a driving role) but the pay and benefits are a lot better with royal mail, but i dont want a job i dont like, im stuck between a hard place and a rock, so any indication you can give me as to what this job involves would be highly appreciated, nice to meet you all, John

If its the same everywhere;- 12pm a collection lasting an hour, then some sorting. Break between 2 and 3pm, 3pm collection ion taking 30mins, 4pm collection up to 30mins, some sorting, final collection 5pm-7pm, finishing up with more sorting. (part timers start after 3pm)

What if you are employed in a collection hub, like a delivery office, is the duty time the same ?

So is there not much driving at all then?
