Is the 3.5 hour delivery still in place if you have not had a walk sequenced revision?

Unless you don't want it to be.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Most of the jobs in our office are 3.5hr according to Pegasus or past planners
nearly all are 4.5hr at least!
Whatever happens with your revision your finish time remains the same.

The 3hr30min max delivery span only ever applied to town walks, rurals could always be longer than that.

What's a motorised town? It wouldn't by any chance be a town walk with a van rebranded a rural?
in an attempt to get round the max delivery span. :shock:
If so it's not a rural never was and when we had a 3hr30min max delivery span then you should have returned to the office after 3hrs30mins delivering. :d'oh!

They were only rebranded :hmmmm after the last revision which is too long a story to recall but suffice to say that everything that happened in my office then is happening to all other offices now :roll:
Singleton vans on motorised towns is what will happen everywhere (much faster than P&L).

If your using a CDV van on a duty and you are exceeding 5 hours,
1) you have to have a break and
2) you should have a Tachograph fitted to control & monitor your hours of work. Even if your vehicle is at est, you are still working. If you are a greedy sod doing lots of overtime or 'Absorbing' other duties becausw you have 'the arm put on you', a Tacho is there for your protection! :vcfo

New EU Laws will demand this in the not too distant future.

I don't much fancy your chances of getting a 39hr week then, not if your already doing 5hr town walks.
Why would RM want or need another revision in your office?

We did have a 'plan' put in but they through it out because they needed to put hours in :chuckle no revision, no 39 hours, no payment but I really don't expect anything else :roll:
