HCT ROUND RULES

Post by andy3665 »

Is there a maximum distance from the sorting office a HCT round can go?

Are their anymore little known rules me might not have been told?

The duty is supposed to start and finish within 1 mile of the office.

Are you really required to push a fully laden HCT up to a mile before your duty starts? Incredible.

I went to a neighboring office a few weeks ago and was put on a HCT round. It took me 25 minutes from the last house back to the depot and I'm sure it was more than a mile :cuppa

At 4mph a distance of 1 mile is covered in 15 minutes.

TBH I don't walk at 4mph at the end of my duty. But then I'm human......and slow.......and useless.
