Christmas D2Ds and maximum weights???

Post by fattyboy27 »

All week I have had 3 or 4 sacks of packets, a trolley full to the brim and a second pouch box full to the brim. next week just noticed that I have got the heaviest set of D2Ds that I have ever had in 15 years of service ( thick magazines that have come in 30 odd bundles!! to give you an idea there are two yorks of the things) Does anybody know if there is a maximum weight which you do not have to go beyond? What sort of muppets give you these plus one other so far , god knows how many lots in total yet, on the busiest week of the year :arrrghhh on another note when i cannot deliver them next week when my trolly is full of packets, can they make me deliver them the week after ?? or can i tell them to shove it :angel final whinge why did Dave ward sell delivery down the river making a miserable time of year for delivery staff twice as bad,

Great aint it. Christmas Eve we go out with D2Ds and Joe Public ask where their packets are. Oh back in the yard mate, boss says we got to deliver these very important communications in preference to your kids crissy presents.

It shouldn't be either/or.
The office should be properly resourced to ensure both D2D and packets get delivered according to spec.
It isn't rocket science.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

You evaluate your workload each day and inform your lino about how much you can physically fit in your HCT and it your bag drop, plus any o/t you are willing to do. The rest needs your lino to sort out cover from the pool of Xmas extras working days off.
