I see today all over ireland fastway are looking for drivers with their own van. Is it something you would like to do? I imagine it would be a fairly ok job

why don't you ring them and ask them what the benefits are? might be quicker than a forum on a swingers site

could easily bump into a courier driver on here who could answer. No harm in asking

Great if you have your own van . But some jobs like these you are self employed . Contracted out your service so you are responsible for all insurance tax returns etc .

I'd say it's hard to make a gew quid at it unless you're covering a good route like a large town or highly built up area, the rate per delivery is fairly small so you don't want to be traveling long distances between drops ,

As a new driver starting within a depot I don't think that you're going to get the best areas to cover as they are already taken by the longer established drivers!

It's good if you have lots of drops but you are paid by the drop not the package. 20 items to the one address is the same money as one and there is no picking what you get.

I'd definitely prefer teacher one. They have nice short days all those holidays and nice pension.

Both probably depend on the condition of the road you pulling into.

They are paying €2 a drop, all house deliveries.

In and out of a van 100 times a day doesn't seem like a fun way to make a living

It's strange you say that but I have often passed those vans as late as 10 at night. Hardly still working.

We receiving packages from courier daily normally latest delivery is five except in the run up to christmass when we often get extra delivery service from the same company but by a second driver on the run.

These guys not only deliver but collect and those collections have get back to the depot in time for the truck to transfer them to other cities so I'd say they finish early enough

Assuming you work a 12 hr day...

Without a break....

500 deliveries is about 1 every minute and a half...

It's not a van, but a Ferrari you'd need...lol

There must be easier ways to make a living ...but on the other hand it's 5000 per week...less diesel, tax, insurance and ware and tear...you'd soon have enough for a Ferrari

Spoke to a courier once delivering a parcel. He said it's a bollix when he can't get through to a number. Might have to return again the next day with it.

They move the parcels through the night. When they go back to the depot, scan parcels off the van, and sort all the incoming ones for distribution. Long Days.

I think the moral of the story here is to get paid by the hour

At least a truck driver can only legally drive a certain amount of hours in a day before having to take a minimum number of rest hours, the van drivers can just drive around the clock if they want to or are forced to!
