I'm just imagining someone who doesn't have the 'do not disturb' setting activated on their phone getting a text at 2am...or does the system delay them until a certain time?

 Do has about 70 duties. Mixture of rural and Town. I am only one on nights. I start scanning all tracked sleeves from midnight then we have a few staff that come in at 5am to scan bulk items then some at 6 to finish what I dont get done.
How many Tracked items on average per night? Are they just been scanned into the office or are they being scanned out to a walk at the same time?
They are not scanned to individual walks.

The scanning part tbqf shouldn't take long, no more than about 10 mins at the most per sleeve. When your sorting them, break all the selections into say six groups and sort to them groups as you go. The 2 or 3 busiest walks could have their own selection.

Scanning and sorting always takes longer in MCs as we always end up with large and small, Tracked and non-Tracked with the occasional SD thrown in in the Tracked sleeves. It's similar for the normal packets section, they sometimes get sleeves with loads of Tracked. One day we'll have to keep the york header cards of the worst ones and compare them to the list of MCs that have got PSMs
