I'm amazed anyone ever made any money on RM contracts, especially in the mid - late 2000s. Most outstations were ok, people just getting along to get a job done, but at EMA they just seemed to hate whoever the client was. Lazy, rude, obstructive & occasionally dangerous staff despite the mountains of H&S stuff to wade through.
Someone mentioned penalties, we were told it was £1000 per minute up to 5 minutes late, then we're flying for free. But it's OK, if its late freight just get a delay code - from the supervisors who were responsible for the same delays. Slopy shoulders...
Every time I read about the mail getting a kicking from DHL or whoever, I think back to those nights & smile...
