I Worked 30 Days at Asda As Delivery Driver & Made £____ 

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

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

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

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

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.

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.. 👍

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

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

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!

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......

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

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.

£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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

You said it was your 1st day then proceed to tell us how you normally load your van 🤔

Not worth getting out of bed ,,I was on that money in 1981

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 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

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

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 👍👏

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

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.

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

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. 😅

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

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

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

That pay is absolutely shocking. £9 per hour 😂 me and the Mrs earn £20 per hour each and that's barely comfortable! That's daylight robbery you're getting mugged off badly pal!

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

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

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

As soon as I heard the fake accent it’s a nooooo for me ! WHY do people do this !🤮🤮🤮🤮🤯🤯🤯🤯

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.

Less than a grand for a months work after tax, disgusting

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

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.

Only way to live comfortably is to work 2 full time jobs 80 hour week , be fucking knackered too.

The money is trash no wonder people do crime.

That's shocking lol... Imagine giving up a month of your time to earn £959!

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

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

£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.

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,

That money is terrible, I work in a hotel an earn £11 an hr, why are u paying so much tax???!!!!

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

No wonder thay carnt get driver's

Just saying as a Asda driver you can’t go out on the road by yourself for at least a week 😂😂

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

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.

That is a joke money for this job

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

9.18 as a driver sounds absolutely terrible

'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.

Wow, i was earning that sort of money 35 years ago on building sites. I feel for anyone doing this line of work for that sort of money. It's terrible.

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.

230£ a week for driving ? Fek that

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!

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 .

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

Time those supermarkets paid more they're making millions off the back of these hard working people, get the finger out Asda.

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

Are you Turkish?

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

Hard job, easy to homes, hard for flats. I mean, can be really hard.

You got taxed 20% bro because of your tax code. Make sure you claim it back, you got over taxed because you must of been on an emergency tax code

Is the van automatic

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

It's bollocks,you have to load your own van now,and that system through that pad is a nightmare,and £9.30 nour it's shite.

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

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.

Great vid man! Really informative and helpful, thanks!

BOYCOTT ASDA!!

Savage, that wouldn't even cover my mortgage and bills 🤷‍♂️

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!

I think delivery driver do a good job, Thanks you all.

£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.

Learnt more from this video than the people who trained Me

I dont know what this guy is going on about this is easy work, i drove for Ocado and you get up to 30 drops a day and working in London 😲 you also have a camera thats constantly on you all the time whilst driving which goes off if you speed, emergency stops, even not braking properly at a junction 🤔

why cant you turn the heater on in the cab

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

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.

That is shocking! Better off on Benefits!

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.

It was your first day and they sent you out by yourself straight away? No training?

9.18 an hour is absolutely insane.

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.

£959 take home money for full time work ? Pathetic pay

your tax code is definitely wrong to much tax that it should be 1250L

im 16 in warehouse job, £11.14 p/h, i come out with 1.7k a month after deductions

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.

Worked for them for 3years. Told me I would be working 25 hours a week. Always worked 50 /60 hours. Loads were 18 /20 drops. 11 minutes per drop. Removed the bonus program. No one cares. Really shit job.

Seems a sweet guy.

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

King’s back
