Crew Of The Weeks
This edition's COTW left their experienced customer grinning from ear to ear with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ appreciation.
"They were amazing. Brock and Shana worked so hard and were so caring and kind. Both were incredible and made us feel so relaxed during what was a difficult move for us. Couldn't be happier with the amazing service. Best movers I've ever had and I've moved houses many times! Thank you so much for coming all the way to Ocean Grove and getting us to Moonee Ponds. Massive job done perfectly! They did more than move our stuff, they were supportive and caring."
Well done Brock & Shana. Jack Tandy is on the lookout to reward you sufficiently.
Friday On My Mind
We need more staff on Fridays!
The Man is expecting an uptick in business as the school holidays approach. We need more staff. If you are available on Fridays - or about to become available - update your availability on the roster page.
Jack Tandy has interviewed a small handful of applicants who are keen to work Fridays so the Man doesn't have to turn away this much needed work when the winter sun shines - if only for a minute.
Light up your truck
It gets dark very early now so remember to turn on the light in the back of the truck to keep your unload as safe as possible.
Follow these simple instructions for turning the light on in the back of the box.
1. Turn Park Lights on (near the steering wheel).
2. PULL on the toggle switch located near the rear end of the box (pictured).
3. Turn the engine on regularly to avoid flat batteries.
4. Turn lights off when finished.
Richie is putting explainer stickers up in every truck now.
MWAV World Cup Sweep
The FIFA World Cup™ has started & the MWAV Office Sweep has been drawn. Each participant has been allocated two teams for a better chance to take home the big prizes. Which team will go all the way? Which teams will cause an upset? Best of luck to all nations and office sweepers.
1st - $60 2nd - $40 3rd - $20
Knot on my watch!
Please DO NOT tie knots in the elastic bands. It shortens their life spans and makes it harder for the next user to use them well.
Tick-tock start your clock
You all already know this well and truly but doing the walk through is part of the working time.
Start the clock as soon as you greet the contact at the pick up address.
If you have issues, call the office.
Lost Equipment
Take care of the equipment you use on the job. There has been a stark increase in the number of lost items.
EFTPOS terminals, Drills, Dollies, and even White Tubs along with all of their contents, have been left and lost somewhere out in the wild.
Losing these items make everyone's jobs harder and are very expensive to replace. So please please please do a stocktake and check in with your teammate before you depart each and every address.
The Dept. Depot Food
Due to the extreme lack of jobs and income, the weekly food shop has been downsized. The Man now happily provides:
1. Friday BBQ: Snags, Onion, Bread, Sauces - weekly
2. Friday Beers - weekly
3. Hot drinks: Tea, Coffee, & Milo, & the various milks - daily
These austerity measures bring The Man no joy whatsoever, so thanks for baring through this. Hopefully, the situation will improve and we can go back to the usual offerings.
Suggestion Box
Suggestion: "Robot Tim sounds so bad. Go back to the regular recorded one. Wouldn't be surprised of it was turning customers away with how sad he sounds."
Response: Agree with this one. The Man will switch back to old recordings or record a new one within the week.

The Vibe
All good things must come to an end as the vibe hot-streak is broken with a small handful of less-than-stellar surveys. Key feedback includes arrival time and keeping your customer up-to-date. Please remember to call your next customer as soon as it becomes apparent that you will be arriving later that the booked time.
