Large boxes for small parcels
I asked Dom if i could i use a larger box for all the smaller parcel to go in the van on Sat.The smaller boxes just take up room and the amount we have fir some areas they reguire more small boxes and they just take up room.I asked Dom if i coukd yse lafer bizes as it woukd be easier to sort into areas and be easier to sort in van.He told me they are banned.End if conversation.Any ideas why they banned. Larger bixes could also b stacked using height if van.

I've always thought some kind of easily assembled slotted cardboard divider in a cross shape would be useful to go in the back of vans just so you could at least divide your pkts up into 4 separate sections.
No matter how carefully you try to put them in order in the back of the van they always end up sliding around and getting jumbled up to some extent.

This. I think we’ve all seen amazon drivers sorting their parcels on the street, they have those fabric bin/laundry basket type bags which can be collapsed down. Keeps everything in the right area.wacko74 wrote:I've always thought some kind of easily assembled slotted cardboard divider in a cross shape would be useful to go in the back of vans just so you could at least divide your pkts up into 4 separate sections.

I just use sacks and keep things separate that way. I tip the sack for the current streets out onto the back of the van and use trays if I need to separate them down even further. I also insist on writing a pkt list.. Works for me.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I just use a mail sack for each loop and tip the parcels in the passenger seat each loop and clear them before doing the letters
