      ​@@ZacJonesRUclipsdid Amazon try insurance fraud I've worked for 4 companies all tried to hit my van, DPD included. They plan to make u damage the vans and hit Ur van all insurance cops can't do nothing and i can do the job I'm quick on my feet but started driving slow slow, lol and still finish on time. U never make money in the UK it's a joke, went uni worked in telecoms, deliveries, retail 50hrs b and m but I can't go back to the same place I'm basically lost, it's like my only option is Amazon again. Did civil engineering degree and turned out useless. The world is a lie theirs nothing in it but fake jobs that me and you run about doing, you're a true g tried the lot.

    Used to do relay back in 2023 oct-nov not worth it anymore, using ur car getting tickets. The pay was £720 weekly for bonuses, it was fun as u feel like ure own boss but the office people are annoying and rude sometimes. It was fun in its own way as ure doing less drops compared to working at amazon or any other big delivery corporation, currently work at asdas delivery easier than doing relay and amazon

      @leecooper8589 День назад +1

      The MG4 he's driving is electric so that's not an issue for over 12 months and who knows, maybe the rates are better in central London than in Manchester/Liverpool. Personally I'm more concerned that these apps mean you are responsible for fuel, insurance, running repairs, vehicle wear and tear and ultimate replacement. Where is your sick pay, pension contributions and holiday pay coming from? Maybe it would suit someone to make a little extra money as a top up with the flexibility just logging on when it suits allows but I certainly wouldn't consider it a living, not when you factor all of the above in. I would doubt it comes close to minimum wage. What would it actually cost these firms if they actually had to employ their drivers and provide a vehicle?
