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

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

Im so glad ur back bro ive been wondering where you’ve been. Plz make more videos about Asda deliveries .👍🏼

My mate worked for Amazon for 1 week and hated having to deliver upto 180 parcels in one day was almost impossible and he was knackered so kicked it into touch..anyway my missus has worked for Asda for over 25 years and really likes it and the colleague discount is a bonus..keep up the good work pal.. 👍

Great insight into a job we take for granted. You deserve a pay rise bro!

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

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 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

Great vid man! Really informative and helpful, thanks!

My brother used to work for Asda for roughly 2 years but has now been working with DPD (directly employed) and earns more money than what you earned for doing deliveries and pick ups for working 40 hours p/w plus overtime.

Start my weeks training this week and this has really given me an insight, Thanks

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 👍👏

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

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.

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.

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

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 delivered for ASDA had to load my own van, rarely got a lunch break. Had to deliver two weeks shopping to top floor flats that had no lifts, was out in all weather and got paid the same as people that work on checkouts. 🙃

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 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

I went for an interview once for the job but never heard back from it and I didn't even have to do anything but go out with someone who was delivering just to get an idea of what the job would be like. But never heard back from them which seemed strange but watching this video and seeing how much you got paid I don't think it's worth it I could get paid better doing a warehouse job so might just do that instead even though I do enjoy driving and my own independence is better doing a job you get paid a decent amount so you can afford to get by in life and not struggle but hey each to their own as they say

When I worked for ASDA, the new delivery drivers had to do a 3 month probationary period. I think this was later increased to 6. After week 1 all the probies were doing exactly the same work as the other drivers but getting paid 10% less. How did ASDA justify this rip-off? Also during the Christmas period, many of the delivery trays (totes) were double loaded to make more space on the vans. This led to back problems and drivers having to go off sick but often without sick pay.

Great video Man! Glad that you like the job in some way :D

I applied for Asda and got the job and got offered a different driving job in the same day took the other driving job now watching your video I’m glade I made the right choice 👌

I work for ocado normally finish 2 hours early in a 8 hour shift but we get paid for the full shift the quicker we finished the better for us. Also our vans are preloaded all orders come with bags so I think ocado is the best van driving job

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.

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 😊👍

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. :)

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 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.

Great video good insight into job👍

Great video bro, I deliver for Waitrose and enjoy the driving and being my own boss

'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.

King’s back

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

Great honest video thank you

Inspired me to do a delivery driver job cos of how easy it looks. Just secured a position at sainsburys, £11.50 an hoir

I'm a take away delivery driver at the moment, but thinking in time maybe i'd switch to supermarket deliveries. I'm thinking that Ocado are likely the best ones having read quite a few comments, but also, without sounding 'snobby' the fact that a lot of people in high rise flats I imagine don't often shop at Ocado / Marks and Spencer. I hear Iceland are the worst to deliver for, especially if you're in a city.

thanks for making this brother, all the best

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.

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!

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

Im starting this week, this was a good insight into the job. Quick question tho, you complained about the cold few times, does the vans not have heating and also. You had aipods on, aint there a working radio?

Enjoyed that. 👍 Good on you mate for working hard and not moaning. Everyone has to start somewhere in life, just annoys me some people moan and sit on there arse most of there life and claim.

‘You don’t wanna see a guy delivering cor asda for 30 days’. Yes. Yes I do.

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

This was a great insight into this type of work vs renumeration. I cannot see how anyone could survive on that income and have a family. No wonder there is a substantial amount of the UK population either on the sick or on benefits!

done delivery for so many companies including ocado morrisons and tesco, loved watching this as a reminder lol

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......

Good luck in getting that time off though, i used to work there and every time i tried to get Time off it just kept getting rejected, delivery driving for them isn't great and the money's terrible, monthly pay is pure bullshit and a good chunk of the places you gotta deliver to are absolute nightmares and have you had the displeasure of driving a penzo yet because they are the worst vans ever made

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.

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

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,

Good vid bro

Great content I have no idea why this come in my recommended but glad it did Where I live £1250 rent for a modest 3 bed (might be lucky to find 1 for £1000) Utilities £300 Council tax £180 TV licence £20 Then dependant on your individual income you can have Phone, Sky/Broadband/car finance/Car Tax/any other insurances. You get the idea but around £3K a month for a family of 4 including food shopping etc.. The earnings element of your video is so important and educational as it really does highlight the difference between what an average job pays to what’s actually needed to get by.

Do the the metal sides on the van come up to use as stairs? As I’m short and abit paranoid I won’t be able to close the shutters or open them .. I have a driving assessment tomorrow thanks in advance

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 work 37.5 hours and don't pay anywhere near as much income tax. I would definitely have a look at your tax code or something because that's ridiculous.

Your a natural, thanks for sharing your work day with us. Jan.

That was good insight my friend have you done one on using the sat nav the rabbit the phone the computer thing cheers mate

I used to work for Tesco and it’s the easiest job I’ll ever have. Would often get 1.5/2 hour lunches and would probably only technically be working 7 hours of a 10 hour shift. If you’re considering going for a driving job, do it (pretty enjoyable once you get into it)! Bad sides are: - drivers laws mean if you’re contracted to work a night run you can struggle to pick up overtime hours - sometimes contracted to just a 4 hour evening shift (which means you’re waiting around to start all day and it’s not really worth it imo) - shitty weather during the colder months - weekend work I would say the good aspects outweigh the bad - but based on this video and my personal experience I would look at working for Ocado who give you the hours and pay well.

Ordering bags made no difference for me. For months and months they would just dump the EMPTY bags in the baskets!

Here in the USA we call Asda Walmart. We call our work Walmart spark delivery driving. We use our own vehicles to deliver groceries. How cool that you have delivery vans for this job.

Its great you get your own van unlike some couriers. That way you dont have to pay for the upkeep and if something goes wrong it doesn't belong to an individual so you're not going to get beat up if you crash it

Thanks for sharing. I do think it’s massively underpaid though, driving professionally should’ve be better paid but I own my own taxi company and some days I make half that monthly pay. Study hard and good luck for your future.

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

I have driven vans for many years. this particular job looks about the easiest you could possibly get. Parcel delivery is the opposite, 120+ stops a day and timed too.

How long did it take you to get used to the van? Driven a little transit a couple of years back but nothing like regular apart from a car

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

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

I worked at Asda as a delivery driver for 6 months. Never got a uniform and had to deal with a manager who thought she owned the company. Always late to load up and was told by mini adolf to tell customers i had a puncture, because my load was never ready on time. I left rapid

Having been an Asda home delivery driver it is very easy to do and we never had the lifting trucks you do now. Everything was manually handballed from van to door.

£9.38 p/h now. Flat rate. No over time bonus, no bank holiday bonus now but it used to be time +half. Night rate starts at 12pm, long after the drivers have left, whereas it used to start at 10pm. Used to get a bonus if you were a good eco driver up to £220 per year. They scrapped that - basically every driver in the country had a £220 pay cut, apparently because it was unfair on the other colleagues that the drivers technically got paid more than them. How it's then fair to take money away from drivers is beyond me. No carrier bags at all now makes everything take twice as long. The Min/Max 36 contracted hours is a bit off. They really don't care if you go home early, so are totally fine with you doing under your contract hours (so they don't have to pay you!) and if they have sick calls they will hound you to come in for overtime. You could do 50 hours a week if you wanted. Regarding your income tax. You were most likely on an emergency tax code so you will get most of that back from the tax man around April next year. Call the tax office and tell them to change your tax code or else you'll be paying one week's wage in tax every month until the tax man decides you can have your money back. Hope that helps.

why cant you turn the heater on in the cab

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.

I was getting about that in the late 1990's working at Tesco. Glad I have my own business now as you cannot survive on that, it is pocket money, virtually a paper round.

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.

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

Good on you fella! Tell me though - how does that income relate to what your rent, car payments and living expenses are? Interested as I am a Brit living in Australia. Have you considered doing some videos that show the ‘picking’ and prepping orders behind the scenes? Cheers, David.

Great video mate. Did they do any kind of theory test in your interview?

Shame Asda don't supply bags with deliveries takes me ages to carry my stuff up to my flat

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

Great video my man.

Interesting video. I pick the home shopping. Not the greatest job but I work with good people and take home £1200 a month for similar hours to yours. Reckon something wrong with your tax code, should get a rebate.

900£ its a joke mate, full months work for peanuts, doesn’t even cover rent in london

Been there done that. That van's had some abuse for a new one! There are differences from store to store. Easy yes, but there is also a lot that is a frustrating pain in the ar$e. Beware the on set of back pain.... it will happen

well done lad ,keep going and work hard maybe one day you will get what you deserve

1:44 I think they will know you coming from Asda the shopping bags and the big Asda van might give it away

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

I can’t listen this „I am freezing” all the time 😂 bro did you been ever in Poland ??? In England is no winter mate

One comment? you state that you pick your own route, but how are the orders loaded?also how do you work around "timed slots"

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

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

Never knew how much went into the job subscribed cheers

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!

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!

Bro why you making out your working there just for a YT vid, clearly work there full time 😂

Mate I had to double take at 18:45.. I live round the corner from that road 😂 I initially thought you were working out of London or something when first started watching the video!

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.

Learnt more from this video than the people who trained Me
