Crew Of The Weeks
A pair of bonafide lifting legends take home COTW with a stunner of a review.
"Such an easy and quick process due to these two genuinely smashing out the work. Not easy with a total of 6 sets of stairs and lots of heavy furniture but they made sure to not only complete the job in the booked time but actually quicker. Between packing up the old apartment, transport and loading into new apartment the process was smooth and I really appreciate their efforts! Hamish and Gabriel were absolute legends. Great guys and perfect for the job. I've moved 5 times and hired this company every single time, with employees like Gabriel and Hamish I wouldn't consider hiring anyone else."
Awesome work you two, come catch Jack Tandy around the depot to collect your reward.
New & Reviewed Culture Review - Reviewed Edition
All staff, including you, should all have by now received an e-mail from the Victorian Chamber of Commerce asking you to participate in the MWAV Employee Engagement Survey. It takes 4 minutes.
A previous survey was sent to all staff but contained more than a few errors so all the anonymously collected information has been discarded. Please complete this survey - even if you completed the last one.
The Survey is 18 questions: multiple choice responses for the first 5 questions and selecting a rating for the statements in the remaining 13 questions. It takes 5 minutes to complete.

Complete this completely anonymous survey before next Friday, 17 July.
Questions? Can't find the email? Please speak with your friendly neighbourhood Matthew Windsor at your earliest convenience.
Daddy Takes Time
After about 9 months of eager anticipation, Alex Morris has today stepped away from MWAV for a little while so he and his wife, Cait, can welcome a brand new Morris Minor™ into the world.
The next time you are fortunate enough to see Mr. Morris in the flesh, shake his hand and pat him on the back. Offer him coffee. Hand him a sausage. Sauce it for him. Smile. He is a kind and great man who is venturing out into the abyss packing mountains of love and devotion.
Alex, everyone here at MWAV wishes both you and Cait all the best of luck as you take this monumental next step in life whilst enduring insanity-inducing amounts of sleep deprivation. xx
DPD/DPF care
As you may be aware, all of our Medium and Large vehicles have filters to remove “Diesel Particulates” from their exhausts to help control emissions.
These filters can usually self-clean when the trucks run at a higher temperature, typically during longer freeway drives. When this happens:
In the Mitsubishis - you will see this icon (in green)
Or in the Isuzus - this icon (in green)
If you see these icons flashing, the best practice is to continue driving until the process is complete. This takes approximately 20 minutes so you may need to communicate with customers and the office if this is going to make you later than expected. If the truck doesn’t reach the required temperature over a period of time, the filter will become full and require manual “regeneration” (cleaning).
In the Mitsubishis - this icon (in orange)
In the Isuzus - this icon (in orange)
The instructions on what to do if you see these icons are located on the driver’s sun visor in both types of truck. You can of course also call Richie and he can talk you through the procedure. Please note these and all other warning lamps you see come on during your day.
Sweep your troubles away
When the cold wind blows, it brings the dirt and scrap into the back of the truck with it like a nasty curse. No one likes dirt and other environmental impurities disturbing the ph balance and sturdiness of the truck floor. This is where your broom comes in.
Sweep out those demons and reclaim your self-esteem.
Stick in the back of the blanket stack when you're finished, not in the roof where it weakens and eventually snaps.
EFTPOS Terminals
Your EFTPOS terminals need help.
They can't handle the brutal knock of hard drops onto bitumen/concrete/steel floors.
Let them know they are loved and cared for by ensuring they aren't placed carefully in and out of the cab and white tubs.
They are very many money expensive to replace.
The Vibe
A great turnout on the survey front this fortnight with only a handful of somewhat negative reviews bringing the average down. Key feedback actually involves the booking process, accurate notes and arriving to the move fully equipped. Movers, remember to double check your toolkit is fully equipped before heading out and phone slingers, remember to note any extra assembly/disassembly if required.
