Some parts of this job I hate:
-Finding rural houses with actual house names when they are not signposted
-Parking in busy areas
-Driving into a built up area and realising you have to reverse out as you cant turn round
-Vans with broken parking sensors and cameras.
-People with 10 totes in flats
100% agree with all those 🤦♂️
Absolutely agree with you. When I come to power, it will be illegal not to have fluorescent numbers or an illuminated house sign outside your property.
@@adamski2108 literally would do the same too if I was in power. I even bought a headtorch but it's not bright enough to light up the numbers
Been there , done that and 100% agree with you .Fortunately I no longer do it .
Customers who pack their shopping away crate by crate leaving you standing outside for ages
I worked there driving for 3 years, nightmare on elm street part 10!! All those stairs with loads of heavy boxes. Never being able to find addresses, rude lazy people who want you to hand each item to them, just and all round horrible job, super stressed me out! And they pay you nothing.
Around that time I lost my mum to cancer and all I ever did instead of spend time with mum was work my arse off. Then my dad got dementia (passed in 2017) and all I wanted to do was look after him and spend some time. I asked for time off UNPAID and explained the situation in numerous meetings that I needed a month or two. They said to me nope. You either work or you leave! Swear to god true story that’s how they handled me after 3 years service.
Never forgive them for that can’t stand them.
That’s why people with these minimum paid jobs don’t ever kill yourself for them coz you are just a number. Do the minimum you can and work smart not hard. Smh
Sorry to hear, I use to work for them also, one day I tripped on a step carrying totes, knocked my back out pretty bad aswell as grazing my knees and hands on the fall, the next day I phoned in sick, and my manager was begging me to come in still, I said I cannot put my shoes on he said come in your slippers then lol. Anyway I went to the docs, he signed me off for 2 weeks, I got my daughter to take in my docs sick note, the next day my manager text me and said I have seen your sick note seems you could be off for a while probably best if you just hand your notice in lmao, I could of taken it further but thought the same fck this company and I left..
Exactly ! That's the sad reality of work these days.
The rude ones well their shopping would have been dumped in the street if it were me
@@BasJon see what I mean! That is disgusting! How dare us for being off sick. Smh! And you did it at work! Insane!
It's a rule of thumb ,the less you get paid (hourly pay) the more you're treated like shite, if the pay wasn't bad enough, the harsh treatment finishes it off.
For me uk wages just clearly aren't enough with constant cost of living going up every year wages dont come close. As a country something has to give because familys can't keep this up
I tend to agree but if companies pay more then the cost of goods and services go up so it's a catch 22 situation. Personally my annual pay rise exceeded inflation until last year and this year it definitely won't be so a real terms pay cut again for me. With the energy price increase, NI increase and rocketing inflation not to to mention food prices rising many people are going to be struggling. I think you have to save up during prosperous time so when lean times hit, like it has now, you have enough money to survive. I imagine many other countries around the world are in the same situation.
@@AlexEwan1 yeah I totally agree, its going to be a difficult year for many with increases all around us
i do warehouse work nights 40 hour well 36.2 after breaks and get £350 a week after tax/ni and pension took of and am on £11.21 and £14.50 for Sunday work i work Sunday to Friday and day of in week and u would think 11.21 a hour and 14.50 on Sunday was good but still not even 400 a week
100% agree how you suppose to survive working for nine or ten quid an hour its bullshit.
@@xUzi786 the UK pay system is like a pyramid you have lots of people earning under £9 an hour at the bottom and at the top you have very few people making profits of over a billion pounds a year and as you work you're way up there are less and less people earning more money than the person below them. It's not hard to recognise that the ASDA store may have 600 colleagues but only six or seven managers and the managers get paid more but unfortunately there cannot be 600 of them so not everyone earns a lot of money 👍
Your a good role model - as most students are preserved as lazy
Money is OK if you live at home
But if you have a family - will be difficult to pay all bills & rent
Not to create an argument, but students are statistically in the minority for pushing harder and going further than most people, but lazy isn't fair.
Being a student is bloody hard work. Try balancing that with work, friendships, relationships and mental health
@@BySixa yeah such a tough life.
@@TUTENSKENGS nerd isn't an insult mate
Colin why on earth would it be difficult to pay bills on £1000 a month you'd get so many benefits you'd actually be well off ! It's only if you're single that it's not enough money.
@@oliverskinner8962 £1000 a month is not a lot of money
Great insight into a job we take for granted. You deserve a pay rise bro!
It's good guys like you are showing the public what it's like to do the job your doing, just let's people know what it's like and if it would work for them, it stops people wasting there time applying for these jobs because your showing them from start to finish, well done for sharing this information with all of use 👍👏
I’ve been an Asda driver for 5 months and I love it. Nobody bothers you, and you’re on the move all the time.
Only pains about the job is parking in city centres and climbing up flights of stairs (for people who need it). It can be a tiring job, but it’s worth it.
under asda rules he could of been sacked for posting this and this is why more people dont post
Respect to those who do this job, it’s usually way more stressful than this, that’s why I always give way to these guys and excuse any entitled driving from them.
My Asda experience:
Calls and texts saying why are you late?
Broken trolleys not being replaced
Giving only 30 mins to load van, check it and get fuel if needed. Also looking out for damages or potentially something that could get damaged so you have to pack it out to protect the delivery from damage.
Having same day deliveries inserted into parts of the journey plan that make it impossible to get to the customer on time.
Managers saying. Click that you've arrived so it doesn't show you're late.
Being told to put the reason for a return as customer changed mind. Again to fudge stats.
Journey plans not allowing for traffic variations or customers being slow due to age or health.
No live traffic or alternative routes in sat nav. satnav regularly taking you to the wrong location.
Also my theory that the satnav is USA based so the route usually takes you to the wrong side as it thinks the shutter is on the right
Extremely dirty vans inside and out. Full of bacteria.
Vans not getting fixed. Cameras not working and not recording.
Drivers turning up for a shift. Being told there's no route for them. Go home.
Clocking in. Is it by the minute or every 15? No one knows.
Breaks put right at the very end of a shift or non at all.
Pot holes and trip hazards when bringing load to van being unaddressed and ignored my management.
General attitude towards drivers is that they are replaceable and not valued.
A driver can be asked to do shop floor duties, but shop floor staff can't do driving jobs. So drivers should be valued more.
Often there's inconsistentces with the number of deliveries. One driver may have 24 and another only 12. One will be sitting at the side of the road because they are early, whilst the other driver will have to break their backs to get round them on time.
Rude, lazy customers. Most are great, but man, I could write a book. 😅
Start my weeks training this week and this has really given me an insight, Thanks
How is it going mate?
Hope you find something better soon Peter.
Im so glad ur back bro ive been wondering where you’ve been. Plz make more videos about Asda deliveries .👍🏼
As for the poor money compared to amazon, The job is was less stress, much easier in general and you go home on time. I know what id pick.
Delivery drivers on time. He must have had a lucky load then. In most circumstances you don't finish on time and are under time pressures with delivery time and trying to catch up for you to have your break
I'm working for Asda delivering love it mate as ex military few days a week get me out the house meet a lot of people..
@@vibsking21 you love working for shit money strange
I'll stick with Amazon,z £1000+ a week and is as easy 90% of the time cheers
@@leehollebon4777 I am not sure but think ex militay get there finish pay as a pension so yeah this kinda job is pocket money for them.
I've been working for Sainsbury's since June and I love it.
The pay is decent for the work £10.25hr, the van is loaded for you too.
There are no cameras inside the van but there is telemetry system with a dashcam so you are monitored but they're not stupidly strict about speeding as long as you don't take the piss.
I found the management to be quite supportive of new drivers as I struggled the first week on my own and they even adapted my routes for less drops.
I've just been offered a delivery job at sainsburys, glad to hear you've had a good experience so far! Do you find there's much overtime avaliable? 36 hours will be a struggle to manage on personally! Thanks in advance 👍
Think i'll change £9 odd an hr and have to load your own van lol
@@playstionrules03 I have a 24hr contract but get 34-40hrs per week and there's often more available but don't depend on it.
Sainsbury's have just announced a 50p/HR pay rise across the board though so that'll be going up to £10.75 from April (I think).
@@mackemsruleFTM yeah, that makes a hell of a difference!
i also worked for sainsburys for 3-4 months driving their vans, not the best job out there but still a good workout and they keep you on your toes with the tight schedule that you wont even have time to look at the time..also ideally wear a back belt to stop your back breaking carrying all those totes. especially to liftless flats..
I’ve literally just applied to a delivery man for Sainsburys so this video is helping a lot knowing what I’m getting into
I work in Asda George, George can get a lot at times, especially when they only like one employee on George at most times, this seems like much less stress, ty for the video man
This is life, people who work the hardest and most unsociable hours earn the least. Most cleaning jobs, factory, office, constant scrubbing toilets, buffing floors, mopping, bin emptying, sweeping, wiping frequently touched points, the same again next day, etc, pay £8:73, I've done it. Most PTS rail workers you see on track when you look out of the train window, and the majority are agency workers, shoveling ballast, rerails, digging sleepers out, digging wet beds out, on a night, in any weather are on £11 or £12 an hour, I know, I've done it. Building site CSCS labourers/groundworks, again all agency, outside shoveling or chiseling in any weather, freezing hands, £11 or £12 an hour, I know, I do it, you get home filthy and f**ked, but it's work and it's a job.
What does an agency worker mean in your context?
@@joewoodchuck3824casual worker , a worker who gets called to work rather than being employed with a schedule
Deep but true
900£ its a joke mate, full months work for peanuts, doesn’t even cover rent in london
no wonder this guy did that ruclips.net/video/OinltOke5g8/видео.html
I think the tax code is wrong which is why he was overtaxed. I believe it corrects itself once the HM revenue guys look at it?
@@techgamer1597 it does yeah his next pay he will be given the money he was overpaid
The correct rate of income tax for that amount of earnings in a month should only be 46 gbp. You should have got a rebate at the end of the tax year. All the best......
Looks like on an emergency tax code until confirmed by hmrc as paying tax on whole earnings without allowance. So yes, should be due rebate.
That’s what I thought 💭 way too much tax for the income
Great vid man!
Really informative and helpful, thanks!
Inspired me to do a delivery driver job cos of how easy it looks. Just secured a position at sainsburys, £11.50 an hoir
Still enjoying it?
@@MrConnorTubee yeah mate love it. Going up to £11.75 in October, all my managers are great, job is super easy for the money
@@shelg6082still enjoying it after 2 years? I’m thinking of doing it myself
I worked there during lockdown for 6months paying £9.18p/h then charging asda were charging customers up to £7 for a delivery... Absolutely disgusting that they pay the driver such a crap wage. On a Saturday we delivered up to 26/27 drops. Horrible job. Now no bags ffs
Why do you think the drivers deserve more ? It’s not a skilled job at all ? Asda paid for the produce the van the maintenance the uniform the technology? What is £7 delivery got to do with how much the driver gets paid ha ?
@@maitzyjp6649 Try doing the job you will soon see why it should pay a lot more.
@@maitzyjp6649 - Its a highly skilled job dude. Really, you should try it for yourself, trust me, you'd quickly change your mind.
@@johnwalker8110 I have done it easiest job I had when I was in uni you drive around listen to music and lift out shopping haha it’s not skilled at all
@@maitzyjp6649 So according to your logic, whilst doing the job, you wilfully accepted that you were being taken for a muppet and enjoyed the low pay to workload ratio. Silly guy.
I worked in a nursing home i worked four 12 night shifts for on two off that was five years ago and my take home pay was the same as your but my god I worked hard for that money it was shocking
This video helps us within the union- we try so hard to help you - AND THIS ABOUT TOLD TO GO HOME EARLY = NO = YOU ARE CONTRACTED. They have to give you your contracted hours. Only you can say - yeah - Im going home early no pay. Your choice, Contractual law
As someone who relies on home delivery I agree with you comment on bags but unfortunately the supermarkets stopped doing them around 4/5 years ago and only brought them back temporarily due to Covid
Hi bro, I have so much respect for you! Doing an honest job with such harsh environments. The pay is also not great. I did a good delivery job before and taught me a lot of things. Now I live in Dubai with many businesses. I will never forget the hustle in London.
Thanks bro 👊🏼
Supermarket managers give drivers more deliveries than manageable, meaning you have to work through unpaid breaks. Also you have to load your own vans. I hear it's worse with Amazon etc.
Never got breaks however asda took it out of my salary.
My van is loaded for me and I get bollocked if I DON'T take my break.
And if things happen that mean I'm running late I still get paid and don't get harassed about it as long as I inform store and my customers.
Basically it's slave labour...that is the reality! Massive respect to anyone working in a cold wet country doing that work for that small amount from a multi billion pound company. But respect doesn't make it any better...just wrong!
Nah ure just unappreciative how lucky u are to be in the uk
Imagine ure fully disabled and ure in hospital foe the rest of ur life
Quick question mate I’m about to start next week as a driver. Where do you go if u need the toilet? also what do you do for eating on ur break ? Good video mate cheers
Called business
@@davidkennedy5478 have you got answers for the questions you asked after doing the job? I’m curious myself
Ordering bags made no difference for me. For months and months they would just dump the EMPTY bags in the baskets!
they stopped the clear bags about 6-7 months ago you can buy bags for life but they get picked separate your order won't come in them
@@mackemsruleFTM Yes, the clear bags. point being you pay for PACKING & picking. Only clowns toss empty bags in with food shopping! And now bags of life are more expensive so even more reason to FILL THEM with shopping!
@@Robert_W7 I know some lazy pickers sometimes will stick left-over clear bags in the totes with shopping but like I said they stopped those apart from raw meat, the bags for life don't get filled as the pickers go on the shopfloor get your items and the bags for life get picked as any other item and won't come with shopping in
I am a full time masters student, and i m obsessed with travelling and driving too, having watched your whole video i ve decided this is the kind of part time job for me. I m applying now 😁 cheers for your insight of your work mate!
Best of luck!
Good luck
'Please get bags' Funny enough, I don't do delivery very often, maybe a few times a year but when I do, I always tick the box for bags and pay for said bags to make it easier & quicker for myself and the driver as I suffer from anxiety and want the process over and done with as soon as humanly possible. I never get the bags I pay for so now I don't do it.
No one with the exception of Ocado and maybe Waitrose (I'm guessing here) deliver in bags, in general they no longer deliver them bagged up for "save the environment" reasons. Having them bagged up would have made the delivery driver's job also much easier, as it would have been much easier to unload the totes, line them up next to the van, grab the bags and then deliver them to the customer, rather than cart around God knows how many totes up to fuck knows where.
Very interesting to watch and see your local to me down south as recognised Hayling. I do Amazon Flex and in making the comparison you work a lot more hours for the money. Being self employed I get lot more tax incentives than PAYE so I do keep most of what I earn. For half the hours. Very interesting. Thank you. Best wishes and yes it is a great job
At least you got off you are and not a snow flake like most young men,I've grafted all my life so hope better jobs and more money comes your way, still keep looking for jobs to better your self because people like you deserve it. IF THERE IS A COMPANY OUT THERE AND WILLING TO PAY THIS GUY MORE MONEY,SISN HIM UP,
Asda is a good place to work, they gave you a van to use. Uber etc you have to have your own car and pay your own insurance. EVERYONE has to pay Tax and NI, if you have a house you have to pay council tax, TV tax, gas, electricity, and water, as well as a mortgage. Enjoy your money whilst you have it.
I do the same for Morrisons..... £10.20 per hour, 15% staff discount. But, you did forget to mention 1 crucial thing......... flats..... yes blocks of bleeding flats, lugging cat litter, dog food, soft drinks and sheds of other heavy stuff up flights of stairs...... time consuming which we don't get enough of, and the dreaded toddlers getting in the bloody way when parents are trying to get their shopping unpacked.
It's not an easy job, you do get easy days but in general it is physical work, not for lazy sods. I had 20 drops today, over 100 cases of shopping and 6 blocks of flats among them, 1 farm, 1 caravan park and the rest tight streets with ignorant buses, cyclists and morons who can't drive blocking the roads
Time to leave Morrisons mate. Tesco, Sainsbury's Ocado all earn more per hour
I feel your pain bud. 👍
I am a cyclist and we are vulnerable road users, please show consideration
You make a good point. Your tax n national insurance is about 1 weeks worth of pay. So basically for every 4 weeks work you are actually working 1 week completely for the government or free of charge.
@gggggggg
Only Fools and Horses work. Seriously,..don't call people lazy sods just because they're sensible enough not to take a boring, mundane back breaking job like this for little reward.
It's absolute slave labour for the delivery drivers at Asda, it is a incredibly stressful nauseating job with your store watching you constantly, Process constantly changing, having to load your own van a lot of the time, having unsafe and even dangerously overloaded and unclean vehicles (Guess that'll get worse now the new owners have sacked City facilities too!) then you are literally forced to go out in all dangerous weather conditions. Trust me I wouldn't recommend this totally unrewarding job to anyone, especially when you can do the trolleys in the stores car park and get paid exactly the same!
At Amazon as a subcontracted driver you get £125 per day for a 9 hour route. However you have to turn up 20 minutes early to wait for the pick up, 15 minutes to load the van then a 15-30 travel time to the destination before the 9 hour shift starts then drive home. So it’s a 10-12 hour day, minus £32 for van hire per day and you only get half your fuel expenses back, what ever you have left there’s tax to pay. No holiday or sick pay. It’s a complete joke.
You have to pay for the van? I’m glad I found these types of video as I’d been considering looking into it as a job but thanks to comments like this I think I’ll stay clear of Amazon lol
@@Themaskplague yeah there aren’t many positives. I suppose if you do it is if your desperate as you start immediately, you own a van already, your prepared to work 6 days straight (you’re not allowed to work 7 days in a row). If you don’t own a van it’s £192 per week or £32 per day over 6 days. There’s no guarantee you will get a shift (if you don’t get a shift the £32 is still taken from your wage, you can give the van back but it has to be a minimum of 5-6 days before you get it can be returned to you) and the shift schedule comes through around 8am where you need to be awake to respond that your available even if you told them you were available the previous day.
@@lastdimestudios sounds horrendous if I’m being honest. I’m surprised they have any workers left the way they treat people. The fact you’re not even employed directly by them and instead through a DSP is a massive red flag straight the way but like I say the more I hear the more I know I want to stay away . I even looked at flex and that sounds just as bad. Sending you on massive runs so by the time you’re done and deduct petrol etc you’ve earned next to nothing
amazon is rubbish slavery job, i feel sorry for people who work for them.
That’s ridiculous. Sounded fair at first, until you mentioned the van hire and only half the fuel expenses 😒
Shame Asda don't supply bags with deliveries takes me ages to carry my stuff up to my flat
They do , but you have to pay for them , without things have changed .
Imagine doing you’re shopping yourself, like in the olden days when people could be arsed to go out & do things for themselves… them people had it tough
@@weementaldavy5987 we stopped bags about last May only fresh meat and fish get bagged
Argos was the easiest delivery job I’ve done out of them all, but the hours where terrible!! To many drivers not enough drops, I’d say for the job you did and the ease of it the money you earned was fair, the only down side to this country is the stupid tax bills we pay! Lining borris nonsense pocket
Changed abit since I worked for the I remember starting work at 6am and wouldn't get home some nights till 9:30pm
argos pays peanuts
Paying Tax is Legalised Fraud (Theft). Paying Tax is actually Unlawful. You don't have to, there's no Law that says you have to pay Tax of any kind. They can't Tax a Man or a Woman.
Job is ok very physical the evening shifts are harder due to finding places in the dark especially rural places with no street lights I work for team orange
That amount of tax on so little means you’ve probably been emergency taxed after tax you should be at roughly £1200 not including NI deductions
Great video good insight into job👍
Thanks 👍
Only way to live comfortably is to work 2 full time jobs 80 hour week , be fucking knackered too.
It's getting to that point in this country unfortunately
Great honest video thank you
Makes me laugh these company's £9.18p an hour is disgusting you would need to work 80 hours a week on that shit wage just to survive it's disgusting the mimimum wage in England should be no less then £15 an hour otherwise you have to work ridiculous hours just to survive
What planet are you from? It’s an unskilled job. Tradesmen are barely even on £15 an hour so what makes you think delivery drivers should be on the same
I dont get out of bed unless im getting paid £15 an hour anything less im not interested
He is on an emergency tax code, which will look on his payslip something like "1257 W1" etc rather than the usual format of a tax code. He will be taxed at a higher rate until he is transfered onto the correct tax band for his income threshold. He can claim a rebait for any overpayment and his employer can get him transferred onto the correct tax band. This has happened to me a few times over the years where I have started a new job without providing the new employer with the P45 the old employer neglected to send me. You can ring up HMRC and they'll put you onto the appropriate band.
Surprised I had to scroll so far to see this. As far as I remember, he shouldn’t pay any tax at all with that gross pay (or close to it). I hope he got a nice cheque from HMRC at the end of the year.
@@TiJayFLY It sounds like he may well be entitled to the £12,500 disregard/allowance if in a lower earnings threshold
i was shocked to see how little asda drivers actually make, i deliver for a local takeaway and we get paid 8eur hourly + 3eur per delivery. All in including tips it usually works out between 25-30eur an hour on the weekends and 13-18 on weekdays. granted we use our own cars but in fuel you lose only about 1-2eur per hour
Absolutely, I made more delivering 3 nights a week for my local takeaway than I did doing 35 hours a week at Asda.
@@buggerlugz6753 Probably less jobs at a local takeaway though is the only issue. Asda probably got 50-100 van drivers or more depending on the area vs maybe only 5 to 10 for a local takeaway probably?
Euros? Wtf?
@markfox1545 he won't be in UK, either Europe or even Ireland
I work at Waitrose and it's literally the best place I've ever worked at, yes it's hard work but the people are lively and will help you if your struggling and management are good too, not sure what Asda is like but hope it's as nice 😊👍
I worked as an Asda delivery driver for 2 years, it was nightmare, overloaded vans, impossible to meet delivery times, no breaks, poor wages, and unsociable hours, i needed the money so i stuck it out, but i hated every minute.
They are constantly recruiting because so many drivers leave on a regular basis.
my manger was asked what he needed to keep drivers at Asda because so many are leaving he said pay them more he was told not everything is to do with money. Every other supermarket pays more plus bonuses for driving the only people staying are people that live very close to this supermarket and would take 15 to 20 mins to get to the closest other market
Yes pretty much every other supermarket pays at least a £1 more an hour, shame on you asda..! Non skilled workers? 🙄 Driving, checking road worthyness of vans and keeping the cold chain intact.. Yeah non skilled... 💯🤣🤣🤣
Not everything is to do with money lol, unless you’re the CEO
@@fanfeck2844 yes it is when its a supermarket chain its about saving wages and running a skeleton crew
They don’t get it do they. £1 an hour to these idiots sounds like nothing. But to someone on a lower income it’s a family shop for 15wks or more or rent paid for a month or 2 over the year hence why people leave. Meet the market or suffer simple
Drivers uses to get £15 a month in star points if their driving was Ok to make up for other supermarket drivers getting paid more but they got rid of it
Why were you paying such high tax? Upto roughly £12,000 is tax free, you were earning roughly £15,000 so would be paying 20% income tax on the difference of £3,000. About £600 per year, or divided by 12 months = £50 per month not £250 per month. If you did pay that all year (and earnt no other money from anywhere else) you should have got a nice fat (approx.) £2400 cheque for Her Majesty.
You said it was your 1st day then proceed to tell us how you normally load your van 🤔
Maybe he did it for other companies too
I’ve been an Asda driver for 5 months and I love it. Nobody bothers you, and you’re on the move all the time.
Only pains about the job is parking in city centres and climbing up flights of stairs (for people who need it). It can be a tiring job, but it’s worth it.
Its true the job is fairly easy and you are your own boss but there is a massive BUT Asda are such cheap skates in paying, my good mate lives in usa, and works for walmart the very same company basically and he earns 18 dollars an hour a bit more realistic eh, the wage should be around 13 per hour min.
Many older drivers there m8
Great video mate! How would you compare this job to the one where you delivered for amazon?
I delivered for amazon for a year and I'd say it's a quite dreadful experience, they have an average system but just exploit you and ignore all the issues being reported while telling you they always got your back. I was making an average of 140 stops a day and was paid around 110 pounds a day after fuel and van rent but before tax, so it's quite shit. Now I'll be delivering for Argos, see how it is there
How'd it go mate?
@@Anees- Better than expected tbh. There are only 2 downsides to Argos compared to amz. The pay: In a slow month like the last few I'm getting around £1300 a month. Argos keeps hiring drivers in anticipation of work volume but when volume doesn't come as expected you end up with less shifts per week. And the fact that your break is unpaid, meaning that for every work day you will be deducted 45 minutes of your time no matter if you took a break or not.
Everything else is miles ahead better than amz. Managers are a lot more down to earth and able to actually help you when need them. All the vans are with automatic transmissions. You are employed (with amz I was self-employed), so you all the benefits of that. You do not pay for fuel or anything when it comes to using the vans. You don't even pay your parking tickets as long as you got a reason explanation of why you parked there and you were delivering to an address nearby. The work itself is far less, 25 drops a day at most, so you'll almost never go home actually tired.
@@TheTito995 - good story.
It is fair to say then look elsewhere rather than drive for Amazon.
Great feedback from you - in the next 5 years or more , or whenever I move away from London which ever comes sooner , I will be looking at driving jobs when I move to Dorset or The New Forest.
Thanks for your insight.
Keep well bud 👍👏
why cant you turn the heater on in the cab
just made enqury for delivery driver, sounds really bad. Compulsory weekends on contract, late shifts, flat rate overtime, stairs, heavy lifting, not allowed to book any holidays throughout whole of December? All for £9.36 an hour!
£959 after tax is disgusting better off on the dole if you have rent /council tax and bills , no one can survive on £959 even subsidised council housing you'd be broke
I do this job for Waitrose and have done since 2021, it’s a pretty decent job. Nice to be your own boss for the most part. It’s definitely not perfect, especially in the winter, but I enjoy it
Lol bro I'm earning more as an apprentice but I respect the grind my dream has always been to be a truck driver but because I'm only 19 I cant do it so after I finish my appremtship in plumbing I want to go to Van's and then lorry but the money in Van's is kinda scary haha my rent is 1200 with my girlfriend so 600 each idk how people survive on this money
I did this job (sort of) several years ago. Didnt even last a week. After the most ridiculous and demeaning employment process where a room full of potential candidates have to interview each other overlooked by over paid, underwhelming and inexperienced managers I was hired. Then on arrival for my first day I checked the work rota for the following week and discovered I was spending my first working week at asda as a delivery driver running around the customer car park collecting trollys. Told the manager to get it right up ya and went home.
Watching this video as I’ve applied for a delivery driver job for Sainsbury’s and an online picker. I am/was working for myself as a shop owner for 10 years but since The energy-financial crisis since feb sales have more than halved
thanks for making this brother, all the best
Seems a sweet guy.
9.18 an hour is absolutely insane.
I wouldn't class it as insane tph. you are paid based on how replaceable you are. not how hard you work etc.
the only thing you need for this job would be a driving license... nothing else.
£959 is still a liveable wage. you'll just have to do a bit of budgeting and your home/apartment should be no more than half of it.
also bare in mind this video is 3 years ago, it would be equal to £10-£11 now which would earn around 1450 gross, 1150 net.
100% liveable, but not a very fun life. but if you're in that job to begin with, you may not have done much hard work to get qualified for a better job. so its kinda your fault. they are still going by the law giving above min wage, how can you expect them to give more when they can replace you within the hour if need be😅😅
Learnt more from this video than the people who trained Me
I know it's the initial outlay but become a lorry driver. Plenty jobs paying 400 - 500 a week. I'm on 650. What you're doing should be at least that of amazon drivers like you said.
I'm looking at getting an HGV licence. Have my theory test in February. Where are you working? Is 650 your net after taxes? I suppose you get paid weekly?
@@0rrin I'm a home delivery driver with Asda but have 2 years bus driving experience. Unfortunately I have to hand in my notice at a major bus bus company due to insomnia, but will hopefully return back. Getting sufficient sleep is important when driving a large vehicle and carrying passengers.
@@EinkOLED Thanks for the heads up. I hope you get the help you need with your insomnia. Maybe fitting in some fitness workouts can help. That's one thing about lorry driving. It's very easy to lag in keeping your body fit.
I was a Asda delivery driver but was lucky enough to get a job on the railway I take home nearly 3k a month after tax it was like winning the lottery
What exactly is the job if you don’t mind sharing it :)
@@MrTasar I become a train driver
Many many ppl I know over the years , only really do supermarket deliveries as a stop gap
Great video Man!
Glad that you like the job in some way :D
I think delivery driver do a good job, Thanks you all.
The money is trash no wonder people do crime.
Bro, come work nights in the NHS, I work 35hrs a week, I work 4 nights on 4 nights off and get around 2K gross a month (give or take a few hundred) which equates to about 1.6K after deductions.
What do you do?
Nights are bad for most peoples health.
Thought you NHS lot are so say underpaid ?
Work half a month and £2k seems pretty good and sure plenty on far more than that.
@@1oldgit Work environment and mental health means more than an extra 400 quid a month for many ppl..
Not much money to live on Especially with Price rises on Bills .
My husband and I looking for new job But need at least £14 per hour to survive this world.
Had to Stop using dish washer use a candle at night watch TV under a blanket 4 hour heating a day .
I agree i been out of work since july i lost my good zero hours job paying £15 N hour. Im looking for decent job paying minimum 14 n hour i refuse to work for anything less.
Usually Asda we call Walmart has associates that come out with the carts, and groceries to our personal vehicles parked in a number parking space. Then, we grab plastic bags full of groceries and put them in the back, or side of our cars with the stickers per order. We do one, or two orders at a time depending how many we receive. Usually our orders are not in contact with the customers. Our app has us take a picture of the groceries by the door of the property. We are a tad different, but very similar. :)
Jesus that's alot of tax 😳
43 hr week..
I work hard Bring in around £2500 month
£650 tax nat insurance & pension
So around £1850 take home
But I do get £5000 year pension on top so cant complain
Take you labels of bro
Asda is heavy heavy work around the town in Edinburgh can be between 8 to 12 to 30 tots a floor
Savage, that wouldn't even cover my mortgage and bills 🤷♂️
Anyone who can drive these kinds of vehicles, all the supermarkets who deliver are always looking for drivers.
36 hours a week 144 hours a month 6 24hr days for less than £1000 my friend your worth more! This is shocking! Our living prices have gone up and no one can live a decent life with that sort of money coming in...10% staff discount is also very bloody shocking! The staff run the shop if it wasn't for them there wouldn't be a shop that simple...trust me I understand money is money and everyone has bills to pay but of you learn how to earn easy money you will regret waisting time and effort for this... currently I work in a local takeaway I'm working 3 days a week 18hr a week and taking £250+ there's money and jobs out there if people look this isn't just the only option my friend... that said awesome video was nice to watch as always wondered about this myself 🤣 bloody good thing I seen this 😂
Earn yourself another sub mate 👍
Just saying as a Asda driver you can’t go out on the road by yourself for at least a week 😂😂
Hahah. I went out by myself on the second day. So 😂😂😂
I started in January .I had an induction, and first day I got out on my own.
@@wellman8998 They bend and twist the rules to suit themselves!
Matt I did 4 days and the 5th I was out in my own I started on the 10th May 2021 and that's what happened 4 days 5th day away I went never looked back
How often they drug test you? Do they test you before you start? Or just at random and if you have an accident?
Interesting video about a real job , if the pay is similar to parcel delivery . this seems like it may be the much better choice.... Surely you get tips ? well if you dont you should .... but my guess is if you smile and are super friendly that may help you getting tips...... PS spray water droplets on your forehead and breath heavily to make it look like the job is killing you and they may give you a tip 🙂
Tips are not allowed
I’m surprised to see how little money deliver drivers make, I work 20 hours p/w at Lidl doing night shifts and I earn between £820-£900 per month, and given that you don’t get taxed on it as it’s under the bracket it’s not too bad
That’s a lie mate lidl do not pay £41 per hour 😂they pay like £16 max for night work and like £12 for normal shifts
@@lastonesleft3868 I said per week, not per month😂
I used to make more money as a security guard 5 years ago before I retired
@@lastonesleft3868Delete your comment, it’s embarrassing.
@@lastonesleft3868per month that's 80 plus hours , so you're wrong
he is obviously not working his full hours or he's' finishing very early every shift!, you only get paid for the hours you work!
yeah but if your are on an evening shift and get back at 10pm but your contracted to 11 you just go home as there's nothing to do
Iv been a delivery driver for asda for 2 years come the end of the moth and its a great wee job suits my life style plus I'm now a trainer so what he never shown you was some one like me training him for four days.
Was just about to comment on bit about bags as now we dont even get the option when making order now for bags ..then realised video 10month old...new sub here respect sir
1:44 I think they will know you coming from Asda the shopping bags and the big Asda van might give it away
It's in case someone stole the van to do his job for him xD
£959 for a month? For delivery driving? That is atrocious. I get £377.17 a week for being a general labourer on £11 hr. I couldn't imagine working a whole month and not even making four figures.
That's shocking lol... Imagine giving up a month of your time to earn £959!
Would rather stay in bed lol than work my ass off £959!
@@xUzi786 lol fuk that shite 🤣 am on dole benefits n am getting more than that loool
The world is absolutely fooked .. taking that much money off such a low wage is shocking.. the people need to stand up against this madness .. that wage is absolutely terrible considering the cost of living 😳
He is on an emergency tax code, which will look something like "1257 W1" etc rather than the usual format of a tax code. He will be taxed at a higher rate until he is transfered onto the correct tax band for his income threshold. He can claim a rebait for any overpayment and his employer can get him transferred onto the correct tax band. This has happened to me a few times over the years where I have started a new job without providing the new employer with the P45 the old employer neglected to send me. You can ring up HMRC and they'll put you onto the appropriate band.
@@nihilisticsoup2919 still absolutely shocking 😳
I can’t listen this „I am freezing” all the time 😂 bro did you been ever in Poland ??? In England is no winter mate
Bro you should come work at tesco, £11 an hour 38hours a week i make around 1400-1600 a month after tax
Do they pay more inside the M25 ? Current rate is £9.98
Ocado is the best paid job for delivering groceries in the uk, contracted 40 hours and you get paid if you finish early
@@joe854 they do mate
@@JU0800 yeah but a standard trip youll receive no less than 20 drop a day, which is hard, tesco is anything under 16
I earn 9.21 working nights for menzies ...yes I'm leaving fck them going to asda for a part time if they got anything in my area 🤑🤑🤑🤑
Good video, I watch all these different company delivery videos now to compare since I've been working for Amazon DSP. Pay is about 2150 a month and only have to keep 10% for taxman and have a long commute which costs another £200 a month (and 90 mins a day) so I get to take home 1750 net which is OK for my family since my Wife works as well. Downside is my days are much longer (9-10 for work and another 1.5 for commute, 5 days a week) and job is harder/more time pressured. I was hoping the pay would be better for morrisons or some other delivery type but so far I can't find anything better. Oh and I get no holiday pay or other perks, so there's that to factor in. I like driving jobs though on your own on the road as you do and am not complaining.
Your best trying Ocado mate. Plus you'll have a working contract.
Massively underpaid in my opinion!
Even living on £50k a year in the UK isn’t easy!
How are you struggling on 50k a year though where the hell are you living and what sort of house do you own
Struggling on £50k in London or another major city makes sense yes.
I live a decent part of the north east and myself and my partner earn around £45k combined, live in a nicely sized 3bed house with a big garden, garage and driveway that we bought for £170k last year. And we have around £1k disposable income every month after shopping and bills and non stressful, easy jobs so we’re pretty happy.
You don’t need to live in a shithole like London, seems a horrible quality of life down there unless you’re on a couple hundred thousand a year.
@@odfkjdhgovj £50k a year up your way is definitely a whole lot different to down here near London lol! Even so, house prices are sky rocketing all over the country as well as the price of transport and cost of living. The UK average salary really needs to follow the curve in inflation.
Untill society fight back against all the greedy companies many billions of us were all doomed
@@VinEvil do agree with what you said there but there’s much more to the UK than the ridiculously expensive down south. Your comment implied that it’s hard to live on 50k a year in the UK. Most other parts of the UK you can live very comfortably on £50k a year, especially if you have a partner who even just works part time for min wage. Even £50k a year joint income is a good quality of life in a lot of places in the uk.
Your a natural, thanks for sharing your work day with us. Jan.
I worked for a spermarket in the 80's, treated so badly, on my last day i put in the compactor the whole produce delivery, they went ballistic at me, i was covered, i had been forced to use the compactor but i was too young, i just got my jacket and walked out the door, never again will i work retail, i would sooner steal.
We need another one of these
If you are contracted to 36hours a week they should be paying you 36 regardless if you do less over the week
I think they would pay him, if he stayed and done store work, but he chose to clock out and leave! I could be wrong though.
Ocado pay drivers the full 8 hour shifts even when we finish early I normally finish in 6 and get payed for 8 hours. We also get 11.80 an hour vans preloaded seems like a much better job than asda
@@BobMc87 not as easy as that as usually you get back ask if there's anything to do in-store and they usually say they are fine
@@mackemsruleFTM Then, you just sit to your time. Do they force you to clock out and go unpaid?
@@BobMc87 well they won't let you sit and wait the time out they probably have you sweeping the floor or cleaning shelves but all the drivers would rather just go and no they don't force you
Great video my man.
Do you have to pay for parking tickets etc ?
No and never got one
i've never had a parking ticket so not sure but if you get a speeding ticket it's down to you
your tax code is definitely wrong to much tax that it should be 1250L
The driver could be on emergency tax if he has just started the job.
Yeah way too much tax!
That’s got to be emergency tax codes etc, that’s crazy high !!!!
Who pays for parking tickets?
Asda
That's mad lol
Ocado drivers pay there tickets.
Your tax will even out over the year. You shouldn't be paying that every month as you're only taxed 20% of your taxable income. The first £12,500 or so is tax free (can't remember exact current figures)
