Yes, all deliveries will be done between 6am-11pm. Usually the customer picks a 1 or 2 hour time slot between those hours. Delivery must be done within customers time slots, if you’re running late phone the customer and let them know.
Bloody hell, i get between 23 and 30 stops on the regular working afternoons and evenings. Half the time can't get your brake in. But overall i don't mind being out in the vans. Thinking about going for my class one license as well. Jut need to save up more money. With this video being 10 months ago, have you made any progress with your hgv plans?

Hi. I start my role at asda on Monday, i used to be a postie so im looking forward to getting back to a delivery job role. My question is do you get training on how to load van? Im assuming the totes are put in in a certain order and the pda will tell you what totes are for which drop? Is there a sat nav on pda to take you to your drop?
Hey! Hope you find it alright, yes you’ll be shown what the labels mean and tote order so the next location you go to the next set of totes you have are readily available. There’s a sat nav on your PDA although some newer estates may not show at the moment but it does tell you what number tote it is and the amount for the drop you are at so you should be good!
Asda is a terrible company to work for I done this job the vans are poorly maintained and dangerous. The 2 runs are annoying asda need to purchase bigger vans to allow 2 runs with 1 load the job would be much easier.
Hiya mate just curious as im looking to change jobs myself, if you join as a delivery driver and wish to progress your driving will the company pay for it or is there a scheme or something, cheers?
i just started driving for Morrisons, I done 2 days training then I was out myself, tonight will be my 5th shift. We drive 24 plate merc's, very nice and comfortable to drive id say. I live in the countryside so i do a lot of driving which is perfect for me. We do on average about 10 drops a shift, sometimes more, sometimes less.
@@JackDelivers yeah they do! I might start doing my own POV drives, I want to get a pair of the RayBan Meta glasses to record me driving. I’m just not sure how Morrisons would be regarding that.
Haha, nice. I just use a gopro for mine I dug out.. works alright, not as discreet as camera glasses though! You’d just have to speak to them, check your contract and company policy. My management are aware or my videos and as long as I’m doing my job correctly and not delivering late they have said at present there isn’t a problem.
Of course, first definitely get to know your vehicle height, width, length and weight. Some bridges may be 3T but fully laden you may be almost 3.5T or they may be too narrow so keep an eye on it. Second get a feel for how it handles, how much steering you gotta put in to turn and so forth. Third try stick to hugging the white line of the road to start with so you don’t curb the vehicle on turns and so forth and when taking narrow turns just slow down a bit and watch the back end, if you have an overhand it will swing out slightly so keep an eye on any other vehicles around when turning.. other than that, it’s like a big long slower car.. so you should be okay. :)
Hey Jack don’t know if you know on the left of the hand set yellow button will give you a touch useful at night as most of our freezer compartment light don’t work either lol am a driver at Asda Wrexham.
Do you load when you start ur shift and then again when u unload/load for next shift?, At Tesco we don’t load our first run, only for whatever comes after us
I work for Sainsbury's and we get out vans loaded for us :) lol... arrive n drive, we just check its strapped down, vehicle check then off we go.... mangers are absolute pricks though
I deliver for Iceland. We have to pull out the chilled and frozen. Do a creat count to make sure everything is there. Print the loading sheet out, load up and then do a van check. We are also expected those do this in 16 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for a van check
