It has always been my hardest day, but this morning I finally completed it and had a load of time left over. So it was a great start to the day. The rest of the morning wasn’t quite as smooth but no huge dramas, just a lot of work to get through. The afternoon however reaped only good news as we managed to agree to deliver for yet another Wallasey based business. Thats 3 new clients in the space of a week, which is just amazing for us.
I am going to briefly touch on scheduling and how a day in Local Postal Solutions looks. I will start from Monday so you can see what areas we are in and when.

As winter sets in delivery times will be moved to be working in the daylight as much as possible so starting later and condensing the middle part of the day by moving any office work to after parcel delivery is completed. That’s going to feel a bit like doing homework after a long day in school, and in truth I was never good at that in school. My scheduling changes constantly to adapt to the business needs, that’s the amazing advantage we have with flexibility over our competitors. It’s 6 hours till I have to be at my finest to take on what looks like a very difficult Bromborough run in the morning. All I ever hope for is it to be dry.
Not just a postman.
