DBH3 Lovely Routing

I had these two routes one last week and one today. It's about 40 minute drive between the groups.

The first picture was 3.5 hours scanned in as 2.5 hours and took 2.75 hours so very fair.

The second picture one was 3 hours and scanned as 3 hours. It took nearly 25 minutes to load as the depot was slow so I went a bit slower and got a return and it took 30 minutes longer than predicted. Would have been fine if the depot was more organised at the start.

Main thing I'm confused is why the AI actually makes these routes between the groups you drive through a few villages which will have other drivers going there and it would make more sense to group them better together.

I also added the return box. Nearly full and people have now decided to just leave things outside even though some of them would fit inside.

Terrible Group Stop

Dropped off the first stop. 2nd stop was a 30 minute drive away. A great way for hiding the bad packages from us when we scan the route at the start.

Added my route at the start and then when it was in there.

Support marked it undeliverable and said it shouldn't affect my standings so let's see what happens.

Joining as a Qualified Deck Officer

I’m thinking about joining as a qualified officer and have a few questions I couldn’t find that clear answers to before. What I have found so far is very useful.

I currently work on chemical tankers as a 2^(nd) officer holding my Chief Officer ticket with chemical and oil endorsements. I have 2 years sea time as 2/O and around 1.5 years sea time as 3/O. Current company cutting pay this year and giving very poor pay increases per year since I joined (0-2%) and I don’t think they want British people much longer.

1. For joining would I start as a 3/O or is there chance of joining as 2/O. Would this also be the lowest pay band or can it be higher?

2. What are the promotion prospects like?

3. For pay I’ve found this https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/rfa_pay_scale_as_of_2025/response/2964080/attach/html/4/RFA%20Pay%20Rates.pdf.html Is there a more updated version or how much it’s risen since then.

4. With leave how many courses are normally needed to be completed with these on top of the normal STCW courses and can they be organized at the start or end of the leave.

5. Are sign on and sign off dates quite reliable or can they vary. If you are asked to come back early are you then given extra leave the next time to compensate for this?

6. Guessing this one can vary a lot but was is the approximate time from applying to joining. I currently do 3 months on 3 months off so would like to work it so I can keep getting paid.

7. For anyone who moved across from cargo ships how did you find it as a culture change and what were the biggest differences good ones and bad ones.

In flying with air India on June 24th LHR -MNL. When I booked the flight I had a 1.5 hour layover in Delhi. They have now changed my first flight so I have 8.5 hours arriving at 03:50 next flight at 12:25.

Does anyone know the chances of them sorting out a hotel for me. I tried calling them and they said if I go to airport services depending on availability they will sort a hotel or a lounge but wouldn't confirm this.

I have looked online and see you can book these https://transitpodservices.com/reservation/book-room/65cb4c383abdb/06-25-2026 which to me don't seem that expensive but if they will offer me something for free I would rather not pay.
