A discrete van delivery network?

Discrete and continuous data. Look it up. Basically it means that there will be no overlap in services between the vans doing larger/next day and the rest of the RM network. Make no mistake, this is stripping a lot of work out of your offices and the core network and taking that existing volume of mail and setting up another company to do it. No doubt on similar terms to all the other firms.
I wonder if long-term RMare thinking of having all SDs done by the hubs. Don't think it would need a machine, just a secured area large enough

Thanks for the explanation and sorry to have put you out. I'm obviously a bit of a pleb, but I'm guessing your sigh indicated that you found it wearisome to have to climb down the food chain in order to communicate with me? :thumbup
