What this sheet is for
Keep a paper record of the round that survives a flat handheld, and settle a 'where is my parcel' query from the row it is on.
Who it is for
Self-employed and employed couriers, multi-drop van drivers and anyone running a delivery round for a shop, pharmacy or workshop.
How to use it
- Fill in the driver, van, date and round before you leave the depot.
- Record the start time, mileage and parcel count as you load.
- Add a row for each stop as you make it — reference, address, time, who took it.
- Mark the outcome honestly: delivered, carded or brought back.
- Close the sheet with the finish time, mileage and what came back to the depot.

Questions
Why keep a paper run sheet when the handheld records everything?
Because the handheld belongs to the operator and the data in it can be hard to get at later. A sheet in your own hand is your record of what you did on the day, for a pay query, a disputed drop or a claim.
Where do failed drops go?
Mark them as carded or returned here, then write up the detail on the Failed Delivery and Redelivery Log — what went wrong, where the parcel is and when it went out again.
