Crew Of The Weeks
Congratulations Rob and Kai for being named this edition's COTW for leaving their customer writing not one but two lots of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ feedback.
"Absolutely amazing service from start to finish. I left a rave review on Google. We will never use anyone else and will highly recommend you to our friends and family. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!
They called to ask if they could arrive 20 mins early - with no pressure. I was ready and that was much appreciated. Friendly, efficient, and extremely careful. Rob and Kai completed the job in less time than anticipated. The entire process was a pleasure, and I will never look anywhere else when I need help moving my belongings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" - Satisfied Customer
Well done once again, Roberto and Kai. Be sure to hit up Jack Tandy to receive your well-earned comeuppance.
Don't hit that... Tree!
Looking for that hard to see house number? Don’t hit that pole, parked car, stop sign tree, etc. Not only are these collisions incredibly dangerous for all involved, but they are by far the most expensive damage that occurs within the business.
-Your jobs when nearing the side of the road are-
DRIVER: You look out for hazards - cars, bikes, pedestrians, poles, trees, etc.
OFFSIDER: You look for location then get out of the truck to help guide the driver into a safe space.
Your risk of hitting something greatly increases when the road is slanted. Stay safe out there.

Life on the lamb
In case you haven't heard, Richie Mansbridge, is dodging the long arm of the law by loading up an XL and moving himself and his family back to New Zealand.
Friday, October 16
The Man will be sending Richie off in style with a Friday BBQ of a slightly different sort championing the national dish of New Zealand: lamb - on the spit; at the Abbotsford depot.
Be sure to pay your respects to the Manager King who has done more lifting jobs than any other.
The Vibe
A fairly underwhelming set of surveys this fortnight.
It only takes 6 troubling surveys to spoil 80 great ones.
The key feedback from the 3-star, 2-star, & 1-star jobs centred on wanting the movers to show more care in where the items were placed and their attitude in how they placed it.
If we appear as a near-enough-is-good-enough dump-and-run style of unload, it makes the customer feel like we don't care about them or doing a good job.
Let's focus on trying to help them as much as we can.
"If there is anything you would like moved around or assembled, once we have unloaded the truck, please let us know."
Daylight Saving
Daylight Saving starts for the heretic states (SA, TAS, VIC, & NSW) this Sunday at 2am.
Summer is coming! Later sunshine means slightly darker mornings so driver beware! A little known fact is that car crashes are more likely to occur in the week after the clocks change so watch out for your own concentration as well as other drivers' lapses in judgement.
We lose an hour so be good to your future self by going to bed a bit earlier this weekend.
