I don't like to work in the rain
Last Friday was heavy bursts of showers followed by sunny periods so I worked between them and sat in the van when it rained. Prior to that there were very heavy and blustery winds so I re scheduled my seafront properties to this week ( did them yesterday ) Monday this week it rained all day non stop so i stayed home.
I would probably have recieved complaints from a few, turned away, as a result got less work done and had to return on a dry day to a few messing up my round schedule further and costing more in diesel.
Its more to do with knowing your round and your customers and what is acceptable.
I have been working my round long enough that I know which properties will be adversely affected by different weather and which customers are likely to be fussy and plan or re schedule accordingly.
If its a pig of a day and lashing it down I think its sensible to ask yourself the question " would I pay for this ?"
