Given the acres of space in many RDC’s the solution is simple. You arrive and book in at gate, then drop trailer in alloted parking bay and leave paperwork in back. You then park up whilst shunter takes trailer to loading bay and returns it, with paperwork when tipped.
Benefits, you don’t have to sit in a room with a TV blasting Sky Sport, you don’t have to talk to anyone and you can spend your time doing as you wish in your cab.

The bloke on goods in at the new dirft warehouse said they activate if you leave the building then turn the bay light red in the warehouse if you go within 50 feet of the bay, so if you sit in my lorry and I sit in yours we’ll be ok

You couldn’t make it up, but they put them on Florence and Fred clothing too, I nicked a pair of jeans and my tag went off as I went through the doors

They wouldnt go to all the trouble and expense in bringing in such a system.
We tip at Daventry Freeze and they dont seem to care if people sit in their cabs .

Then you will have to see it to belive it. They don’t just dish them out like sweets, they hang your keys onto an electronic board. Your keys go on bullett 1 and the lights go green to tip, they give you bullett 2 which is essentially a homing beacon. This isn’t mmtm urban bs, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. You go for a ■■■ the beacon goes live, much like leaving the depot on isotrak and breaking the ringfence. If you walk to the front of your motor it breaks the ringfence for the bay, just like arriving at a store. It’s a cleaver system, and I would assume tosco would tell you that you can’t put a price on health and safety

With hindsight I think you are right , not all Tescos do this but Hinkley do give you something like you
described , sorry for doubting you but there is alot of ■■■■■ posted here nowadays.
Just leave the [zb] tag in the driver waiting room or whatever, then go back to your cab with your “other” keys. I’m sure they don’t physically attach the tag to some part of your anatomy like a crim so just lob it in the nearest bin and wait for your green light.
when she gave it me i asked what it was for and the explanation given was…there wern’t one she just wandered off leaving me stood there like a lemon . oh and no tag no keys back they get locked to the board

That looks like the Isotrack fob they used to use for the MHE in Hinckley. You had to swipe your DCMAS card in it and it would only let you have keys for MHE you were trained up on.
I was given something similar at a ASDA depot a month or so back. A little black disk about the size of a pound coin attached to a keyring with the bay number on it.
I just put it in my jacket pocket and hung my jacket on a peg in the waiting room while I went back to the truck to watch some DVD’s

Now that Tesco are giving us tracker tags when we go to an RDC, I wonder where it will end? The hut door swung open with a loud bang. Into the room came a strong, cold draught of damp air, a few icy snowflakes, and a tall, thin man dressed in heavy jacket, gloves, hat and a scarf. A group of men were huddled in a corner next to the heater. It wasn’t much of a heater, but in the current weather conditions, it was like a roaring open fire. A sign on the wall said “welcome to Colditz”. The men stopped their whispering, and looked up to see who had entered. “I say chaps, it’s a bit nippy out there tonight,” said Ginger, who had just entered the room. “Shut that bloody door” replied lofty “it’s taken us 3 hours to get this heater working.” “Any goons about?” asked Nobby. “Nah” replied Ginger “they are all in the canteen stuffing their faces” for the full story, please visit truckerjon.blogspot.com/2011/10/ … scape.html

You are allowed to sit in your lorry at all Asdas.
To be expected at Tesco and pretty much all of them have that system now - it’s basically a secondary defence against you getting back into your cab (after handing your keys in, and then sneaking back) and then accidentally knocking the handbrake off whilst your blundering around your cab trying to kill an hour or ten waiting to get unloaded (I hate ‘tip’). The reason Tesco’s introduced it was through just such an occurence so I’m told!?! Believe what you will!■■!
Still prefer it to the hassle of Suzi locks, padlocks and keys though (how many of you actually apply the padlock at Sainsbury’s Dartford??). Still a good few places with realist, common-sensical types that run them and make the rules fedrally (non-Supermarket), where the onus is on YOU as the Professional, to wait for that green light and declare your own ‘Duty of Care’ - keys in the ignition, you in the cab etc, etc… Their getting scarcer though of course! Great Bear Desborough a notable example (that’s if you can get past the entry/exit gate in a satisfatory time frame )
Asda’s (as has been said above) allow Driver’s to sit in their cabs after handing their keys in, as do Mark’s & Spencer, Co-op, Londis/ Budgens and Iceland. I haven’t been to a Morrison’s RDC for a good few years, so what’s their individual policy??

Only done chill, and theres 2 choices after handing your keys in, either wait in your cab while they tip you then wait an age for your paperwork, or go in a split a few pallets down while they tip you and get your paperwork as soon as your done. We always do the latter.
Personally I can’t see the problem with it, also its not our problem, its our employers because by agreeing to do the work they are agreeing to comply with the system. All depends on your employer, but in the current climate, I would think that most wouldn’t want to rock the boat.
