shortly doing 'firms'

[Lance Jack]

Firms in our office mean a very easy Saturday as most of the firms are shut.

I do a firms delivery , picked it up when revision came in ,

Quite often on wed/thur/fri I can go over, or cut off, most times i am doing outdoor/driving for 5hrs or more

I got 1 week training but i insisted on it .

I am 5th senior person, now our HCT walks are only 3.5-4hrs long but got fed up with the constant B/H when doing a delivery

Yes a saturday is easier, but come monday I go over so I try and deliver as much as I can on a saturday if there is a letterbox to put the letters thru,

BTW now on 2 weeks hols

So is it like a parcelforce day except you deliver to businesses rather than both?

[interesting]

I deliver both , but we don't have as many firms as others
Although I do the schools , which are closed on Saturdays
We are due go from firms to support drivers as they now call it in a couple of weeks ( or so they say )
Not sure how it will work out as such
Not doing anymore walking
But packets for some more walks
But less tracked as they cdv's and hct's will be having pda's
So we will have wait and see how it goes
Should have less bag drops as well

Hi postiewhite,

Just wondering how did you get on with firms, did you get any training and how many days of it? Was it easy, did you go over your time?

Bit worried myself as I am doing from tomorrow, went out only two days with the postie, but really didnt pick up anything as the guy wasnt that helpful to teach everything. Any tips?

Many thanks!
