I think we need bigger vans...

[wannabeek]

This hasn't happened to me since last December - a singleton duty with a van rammed full to the brim. 18 full trays, 28 large parcels and two full pouches. A trolley too, of course!

It's only October so it should get interesting next month...!

Mails dropping off like fook is it

Could've done with a double decker HCT today
Had to make do with an overpriced Double Decker from the vending machine instead.

couple of issues that van is seriously over loaded, you do realise you can get penalty points from police if pulled over and weight checked and is found to be over weight

secondly probably not a good idea to take pictures of mail with addresses visible and then post on a public forum

Wow that is a serious accusation to me there I believe. Have I previously done something to offend you?

The van is not overloaded by weight, I am fully aware of the weight limits of every vehicle I drive both at work and in private. It was also all stacked and stored in as safe and secure a manner as possible and I would have no fear from having that checked by anyone.

Also, tho original photo was far too hi-res so I photoshopped it and fuzzed it all before uploading it to make it impossible to do what you claim, regarding the labels or the location.

No not offended me I slightest just some advice as for fuzzing it up I can quite clearly make out a post code by zooming in, as could other people you may not wish to do so

as for vehicle weights, 18 full trays plus 2 pouches is about the maximum for that vehicle, royal mails guidance is maximum number of pouches, your large packets and trolley will take you over the max weight for that vehicle

Given all that you say, if true, then I think he needs a bigger van. Oh , hang on that's where we started.

I had to cut off 2 loops on Wednesday as we couldn't fit them in the Vauxhall Combi
The DOM wasn't impressed and he had to check,
His face was a picture

[woofwoof]

why is the mail in trays

[DB1100]

why is the mail in trays

We use tray's as those silly bag thing's are useless,we used to use 3 or 4 for every loop so the idea of just being able to drop them straight into the pouches on a LWT was an epic fail,ill thought out like most of the idea's from people who have never done delivery.

Where is your trolley btw? but these tits planning all this have no idea how it looks in practice they should play Tetris on their PC's as they have no idea how a delivery really is these days!

-Breaking News-
It has just been announced what the Official Royal Mail 2016 new van replacements will look like.
Experts have come up with this innovative design that can not only deal with the decline in mail but also the increase in packet items.
RM experts have cunningly come up with a solution which allows the jolly postman to now have time to not only deliver the mail but also to spend time with his family as the new design allows for "compact modern home from home living".
Features include a bed for three, fridge, cooker, and crapper, "so theres no need to pee in your customers garden anymore".
RM experts are well chuffed, especially after finishing off the last batch of magic mushrooms and are now looking forward to designing the 2017 HTC which will incorporate into its design front and rear light, left and right indicators and rear mirror "for reversing around those tricky corners".

just a few shelves would be nice, to store empties, returns and specials etc.
After a few corners you have to rearrange everything!
