Filthy vans

[PostieSP1]

We're supposed to clean ours every Tues...hoover,foam cleaner etc tbh some nearly look like new again even my once filthy van

[wacko74]

FFS if you don't like sitting in a filthy dirty mould ridden van - then clean it

Please can you highlight in my contract or job description where it states that I'm expected to spend several hours deep cleaning a number of filthy and mould riiden vans, I'm struggling to find the relevant section that must contain it.

Thanks in advance.

I try to keep my van in good condition, but others do not care. One van smells so bad that whoever has to drive it opens all windows and doors before loading and sprays with air freshner. It smells of horse piss( I should know ) and the stains, we are not sure. The person takes it home and admits they use it for personal use. The back doors have been forced open by who we do not know. I have given up with the vans, but I would not drive a disgusting van like some I see. Also I do have OCD.

Well really it comes under the heading of "STOP BITCHING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT" or just pretend you're homeless, people who I'm sure put up with worse and still manage to survive.

The van I have is disgusting. Chipped windscreen and covered in dents. The footwell carpet has completely rotted away and is always completely soaked with rain water. There are holes in the footwell metal so I have a clear view of the road as I drive. The van just makes me hate the job even more

I may have OCD but all the others do not have. The van is totally disgusting. The others are all men and they have a problem with the said van. There is no need for the vans to be in this mess, but the person who uses it lives in a dump, all the others comment on it.

Get that van taken out of service. Are the holes where its rusted through?

Well stop driving it, make out a fault report to either have it repaired or replaced via the transport manager.

Well ask for an ATOS report on your OCD that prevents you from driving a dirty vehicle

Well I'm not a vehicle person and its just a tool to get the work done nothing more nor less, it isn't a home.

So you think it's ok to drive vans in a dirty state then? Tools to 'get the work done' still need to be treated with respect whether you like it or not mate

With your rather odd attitude towards people on here who have an issue with driving filthy vans I'd love to see what the inside of your own home must look like... although on second thoughts maybe not.

[robbertwhitton]

Can we refuse to drive or be a passenger in a van that the inside is filthy

Can we refuse to deliver to a house that is filthy?

can we refuse to deliver to houseWIFE that is filthy ?
That mrs adams at no 18 is pure filth. (not that I'm complaing)

lol!!!! she sounds a class chick! on a serious note,you do wonder what state people live in at home,its no bother for some to keep the van tidy and clean as best you can,especialy if its yours.but as ever some don't give a toss,and cant be arsed.be nice to have the facilities and space in the yard to wash it ,we don't so I stick it through the car wash on the fuel card when I fuel up,

Personally? No I don't and nor would I, I would advise the DOM I will not drive a vehicle that could pose a health risk and inform him/her and the health and safety rep precisely why but of course you need bottle to do that. He could tell you to clean the van which is fine by me it's his time after all, it just comes off the indoor/delivery time. As for the vehicle with a defective floor plate???????????????????????????

Not my problem, I have my own van, never use any others. That's the way I like it.
