- you had parked as close as you could to the delivery location
- the items you were delivering were either delicate, difficult to manoeuvre or extremely heavy.
You will need to confirm:
- the approximate weight of the items
- why there was no activity seen around the vehicle
- how long it took you to complete the task
- why the task took as long as it did
- what the items were.
