Delivery Span

Post by Lounge Lizard »

I've not been able to find the guidance for time spent out on delivery with a normal five-out-of-six day 39 hour week.
Any assistance appreciated.

It would depend on your traffic and your f/t to p/t ratio - and your aspirations.
And your terrain and your delivery methods.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Hypothetically ;
All full timers, no part timers.
60% drivers, 40% non-drivers.
Could the drivers be expected to do nearly all their shift out on delivery while the non-drivers spend much of their time sorting and :cuppa ?

Hypothetically - no not even hypothetically.
It wouldn't work.

We realise it won't really work but that, hypothetically, doesn't stop a DOM trying to impose it on a colleague, in which case would there be any redress in trying to claim that there's a limit to the proportion of the day one might reasonably expect to be out on delivery ? :shock:

Pre revision 3.5 hrs, post revision 4.5 hours. I thought it was the same everywhere? Full time doing more indoor work such as sorting, prepping etc.
