Re: Is loading the van part of the indoor work?
can anybody who has been through a structural revision give me any advice on what was put in georoute regarding walk speed ( lwts ) , toilet stops , knocking on neighbours etc , thanks for any advice. as we have just had the maps up and all they have done is mixed and matched deliverys and added at least 2 loops onto all the deliverys , which is just not doable and we havent even had a vote on working structures .

Van checks should be done early so any non starters/faults can be sorted or another van allocated.Alexei wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 20:02I've never seen loading as a dedicated slot on a 318, but van checks are. They're generally what you do before meal relief.
Your 318 (depending how detailed it is) should say something like "0630-0815 Indoor prep. 0815-0830 Van check. 0830-0910 Meal relief. 0910-0920 Travel. 0920-1350 Delivery. 1350-1400 Travel. 1400-1405 Pouch off."
Some good team workers will utilise the process where the passenger will load the van while driver performs van checks, most don't bother. For single van drivers then you can often have a legitimate argument about workload etc, but they management will typically dig their heels in, and if they give in then you'll get a little more time in the morning.

In most DO's I've worked in you can't get access to the vehicle keys until just before you have to load your van, assuming that you don't have the van on home retention.cpsteve wrote: ↑05 Sep 2021, 21:26Van checks should be done early so any non starters/faults can be sorted or another van allocated.Alexei wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 20:02I've never seen loading as a dedicated slot on a 318, but van checks are.
