A few questions - Delivery Driving 

Whoops! No aircon, silly me. We can all suffer together hah!

Ocado and Morrisons sprinters have air con

Rules say you cant do that anymore

How is it working for ocado applied recently? Do you work 5 days out 7, and how many weekends do you work ?

Do the radio stations work so you can listen to music in Ocardo vans?

Awesome, congrats! It is great getting to drive around and still have customer interaction so if you can putup with the weather you’ll enjoy it. Basically the first two digits are the Load ID, you will be assigned a load for your shift. The three digit number is the ‘OSN’ or order number, basically unique to that customers delivery. The last one (letter and number) is the location on the van it goes, for example M is for middle and the number is row 01. This just makes sure the next tote you have available to you is the one for the next house, saves you searching for it. :)

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!

I’ll give it a listen mate cheers for the recommendation!

All automatic

Some days it is a split run where you will come back have your lunch snd then go back out, other times it could be lunch out on a big / full single run.

Depends if it is a full run (no reloading half way at store) or a half run. If it is a half run the break will be at the atore, usually 30 minutes. If it is a full run it will be on the road, usually 30 minutes but depends on customer delivery slots may be longer.

Just policy I guess! Customer picks the slot.

I work 3 days a week, unsure of the exact pay rate but fairly certain it’s just the national living wage.

@@JackDelivers cool I applied for a 38 hour week but heard nothing back yet

​@@Bishx43It should be a little over £12 ph now

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.

Yes they do.

When I went for mine it was hardly even an interview, just a talk about the job really. After that I was offered the job. Then you have to watch some videos about road safety and do a test takes about an hour. Then you have your buddy runs, 4 in total where you ride along with a co-worker to learn the ropes. After that you're on your own.

Exactly this basically, some stores may be slightly different.

At the Asda I drive for, once you've finished your deliveries you go back to the store, unload all your totes and the put your returned items back and then you're done, you go home. I've never once been asked to help around the store, I wouldn't even know what to do in there anyway lol

@@Krz374 ok thank you lots of job adverts always say you have to help out in store

Personally where I work it’s more of s choice if you want to help, you put your returns away and unload as Kraze said but other than that your duties are done. I however have ended up working out back supporting the click and collect area at busy times or if I only end up with a short run to make up the hours.

@@Krz374 thank you, how do the shift pattern works, what are the times and can you choose as I have to take and collect my child from nursery??

Hi @@markharriers4694 This is where I work, I'm unsure if it's the same elsewhere. The days you work will be set we do 4 days a week with 3 days off, I do Wed, Thur, Sat, Sun with the other days off. There are 2 shifts per day, early and late. Early starts are 6:30am, 7:00am, 7:30am and 8:00am. Lates are 2:00pm, 2:30pm, 3:00pm and 3:30pm. Your finish time will be roughly 8 hours after you start but could be less if you get finished early. There isn't really much choice on the days but you can ask for early or late, when I applied the advert was for late shift so that's what I got, which is what I wanted. Sometimes they'll put me on an early shift if someone is on holiday so it's not set in stone, although it's rare to change. You can also swap days with someone else if you both agree, I swapped my Mon for Sun. Hope that answers your questions.

It's also illegal driving that fast down those country lanes...slow down son

@@passkat footage is fast forwarded

I did wonder if he had permission from his manager to film.

Brilliant videos mate. I start next week, so excited & nervous at the same time 😬 can I ask if the automatic vans are hard to get used to? I noticed the Park, drive etc is on like the wiper stalk?
