you mean am? so you are on full time hours 6am-2pm?

redpin_2

yep sorry am, some reason i keep getting them mixed up

custardy

well then yes
8 hour day and a 3.5 hour delivery span.
inc 40 minutes break and travelling time your delivery point.
were you hoping to be on delivery for 6 hours?

redpin_2

yup :rotfl:but thats mainly because i sometimes get my letters at 8am >_>

im a week into my job as a postman, i dont start my own walk until after the 2nd week. i was wondering is there anyway to find out what areas are covered by the various depots, on the internet or something so i have an idea of how far i might have to walk if im been given a "bad" walk which will probably be the case as those whove been there longer will be given the better walks

custardy

are you being given a walk of your own?

redpin_2

i cant say im sure, ive been told im a reserve

custardy

as a reserve you will(most of the itme) just be floating round duties
its swings and roundabouts
you will get good and bad duties.everyones days off need covered so dont assume you will be on crap walks
also bear in mind you maybe required to work in other delivery offices.

cheers, luckly, i found out i be on an easy walk for the first 5 weeks but i'll be put on a hard1 afterwards, so i wont use my anual leave until around about then :P
