As someone who used to work in the homeshopping department as a manager I really appreciate this, the amount of times new labels would fall off totes because of the old ones and it messes up the whole system!
Hey, so I’m an Ocado Driver and have been for almost 3 years, our delivery radius is MASSIVE! But this is because we don’t have stores and deliver from depots and obviously have far less depots that other supermarkets have stores, so I can do anything up to 250 miles on my route, I do ten hour days 4 days a week, driving the whole time, the major difference and I would say advantage to Ocado drivers over other supermarkets is that we don’t load our vans, we arrive, get told what van reg we are in and the departure time and then find our van, do our van checks and then leave, I do Am’s start at 5.30 and finish at 3.30
At Tesco I only work evenings and my vans already loaded for me on arrival thank goodness. Saying that though, sometimes you wish you did loads your own van...
Full respect too ALL the delivery drivers out there. Yes if you see scenery its beautiful but like someone mentioned climbing up flats with loads is very hard. With the COVID19 pandemic it showed how important and VITAL you are to elderly and disabled people.. ❤2ALL StaySafe ✌👍🤜🏽
Hey, cool video! I'm also an Asda driver haha. I've only been doing it for 3 months so far, but it's the best job I've had, far less stress than my previous jobs! At our store, we go out really far, delivering to mid Wales all the way out to the coast. Will probably keep doing this job for quite a while I think, driving is a lot more chill than working in store imo :)
We have had Asda deliveries for a few years now and the driver's are always pleasant and in the time frame. We live in rural North Wales and the vans have to travel 40 miles from the nearest delivery store. I did van sales for 10 years and loved it in the days you weren't tracked like today's drivers are. Good luck.
I used to asda driving, but we used mainly back loaders then. Much better when it rained and you didn't lose any labels. We were also allowed to ring the customer and deliver early if customer was OK with it.
The corporate greed seems to have got quite bad now especially since these new owners took over. Often far too many drops and more loads than there are drivers so they end up splitting loads up and giving everyone extras on top of their own extras so you're late out for your second load before you've even got back. Having said that you do sometimes get good days where you're more steady away.
I'm an Iceland delivery driver. I've only been doing the job for 2 months but it's so much better than working in any shop. I say that with 8 years of retail experience under my belt. Personally, I find the customers so much nicer, and easier to talk to and I never do the same route twice. Yes, I deal with the same areas, but I'm very lucky as I don't have to deal with flats. As for the delivery aspect, all the information I need is either on the gun or on a sheet of paper that gives me the names and addresses of the customers. although we have a new system coming in this week which doesn't show the customer name and only shows it as the order number, making it easier for the drivers to short deliveries and easier to load and unload them.
Oh wow, nice! Yeah I agree with that, much more prefer doing this over working in a shop now. I don’t think I could really go back to in store working after very easily!
I’ve not long done my class 1, been driving since April, best thing I’ve done I love it, have bad days and good days, just have to have a lot more thought before going down roads you think are tight etc…best thing I’ve been taught from my dad since he’s done it all his life, is make sure you can get out before you go in good luck mate
I worked for ASDA as a delivery driver up in the Scottish Highlands, I no longer work there, as I left to go work on lorries (as you mentioned you hope to do potentially!) The job itself was alright, one of the major drawbacks though was the unpredictable pattern of hours, I was using it as my full time job, and once we've completed our runs for the day, we're expected to help in store, however it's more like being told to go home early as they don't train us on in-store procedures. What ends up happening is you'll have two choices, Go back to the store hours early and get told to go home and finish, or sit in a layby until 10pm comes around, both of which were never ideal. Benefits of it? Being in the Scottish highlands, Our first delivery could be more than 2 and a half hours away, in a day, doing 250-350 miles daily is not out of the norm. So if you enjoy driving, it was a good gig. Overall we cover the entirety of the North East & General north area of the Scottish Highlands so its a very VAST area. But for all it is, I did it during COVID as was made redundant at the beginning of the pandemic, it bid me over until I could obtain my Class 1 and obtained a role in the industry.
Wow, I can imagine the scenery you have up there is amazing. I love visiting scotland, unfortunately it’s not quite the same in the Midlands in England hah. But yeah definitely agree, thankfully my store is really good and will find you something to do to get the hours up - even train you on the picking if you wanted to do it. I have my Class 2 HGV test in just over a week. A little excited for it if I’m honest, have to start some where! :)
Former Ocado driver here. Funnily enough this video popped up for me the day after I left. Think my spoke had a radius of at least 80 miles and on average I'd be doing like 60 miles in a day, but the most I did in a day was maybe like 140 miles, excluding the days where I got sent to other spokes that were in other parts of the country. It's definitely not a job for everyone and it has it's pros and cons. I personally enjoyed the driving and exploring as before I hadn't really gotten out of London much but the actual delivering part takes a toll on you, any fellow CSTMs can probably relate to driver notes being like "dani off, terrible parking, 3rd floor no lift" and it's like 4 heavy totes you have to take up.
Tesco driver hear. Day shift for us is 9h, 4h run 1h break and 5h run. Van is loaded in morning for us but we load it our self at launch time and at end of shift for the next evening drivers run. On average 9h shift it's about 30 drops.
•taken away driver monthly incentives for excellent driving •taken away bags making the deliveries longer and harder •taken away the yearly bonus •the vans used to be loaded by the service crew before start of shift now the drivers load the vans themselves. •7 deliveries an hour sometimes •accept orders for addresses regardless of weather the van can access the address or not.
Gave up my 18 year career to do this job with the well known supermarket with orange branding. Training was pathetic and via a touch pad and we were expected to adhere to times even when delivering along narrow and dangerous rural roads with occasional rude customers. It was not for me unfortunately and driver turnover was/is very high. Management only cared about themselves. Some people seem to breeze this job, others not, I certainly regretted it..... PS: definitely would not have had time to set up a camera for a blog!!!!
I had my interview today for asda delivery driver. I thought id come on youtube to see what its like and this is the first video that came up. I was surprised to see you here because you’re in my civil engineering class at trent 🤣. Ive never spoken to you tho
Yep that was me. If you have any questions about the job let me know, I enjoy it. It is getting very busy for deliveries for Christmas now, last shift I had 24 deliveries!
8.5 year Asda driver. It's a decent gig, but has been on a long slippery slope for a number of years now. My main worry as of late is they seem to be inching closer and closer to Iceland, from which I've heard nothing but nightmares. Same day deliveries on afternoon/evening vans are a pain and are pushing section leaders and managers to the absolute limit. They brought in all-day same days a few weeks ago, same days on the morning vans. That went completely tits up and they got rid of it within two weeks. It's far from the worst job in the world and if you're at a store that has some rural drops it can be like getting paid to just go on a day out and drop off some shopping along the way. Where I'm based is a smaller store with a very small delivery area and it's all suburbs so it gets VERY boring but thankfully we don't go into the city center so get very few high rises. Good job but ready to move on now, about to get onto Class 2 HGV. I'd recommend doing it for no more than two or three years to get the experience and then start thinking about moving up. It's just a job, not a career.
Yep.. I’ve heard about iceland and these same day deliveries can be a nightmare. I actually just got my HGV Class 2, signed up to an agency to get a bit of extra work. It’s definitely worth while for a driving career to be honest, may do Class 1 one day but I am a uni student so probably won’t stay in driving for a super long time. But like you say, far from the worst job out there.. and I like my staff (and gosh forbid management) at my store. Everyone is nice and it makes it 10x better.
We have Asda each week. They drive around 30-40 miles to us round the coast. I suspect Norfolk is one place the drivers will like due to the nice countryside. Always have had friendly drivers deliver to us and the mid week delivery pass is a bargain for us as we couldn’t drive to the nearest supermarket and back in fuel for that.
Been an asda driver for the past 3 months based in cumbria, only complaint for me is the palm is terrible worst navigation system ive used if im honest, But the job itself no complaints love driving
I know this place lol this is asda tamworth. I actually work here as well. Was thinking about doing delivery driving and was looking to others on how it was :))
Towns and rural but wouldn't do city deliveries...nightmare I would think. Longest day ?? I did was 06:30 until 00:15 during lockdown. Hard work in the store and pod stacking down.....I look to get outta there asap lol!!!
Could you show us how you separate the customers shopping and know what’s what on larger runs is it straightforward and simple process ? Do they also provide you the uniform ?
So the totes are ordered by labels, they say B / M / F (back / middle / front) of the van and a number on them to tell you what row they go on. Back are loaded first then middle then front. Each tote has an order number which is listed on the run sheet and device set you use as a satnav so you know what totes are for what house. They will also be in the ordered you loaded them in. It is relatively simple although sometimes you may get duplicated labels but easily sorted out by double checking. Yes uniform is provided! I just normally wear a regular black t-shirt because I only have long sleeve company shirts and don’t like long sleeve.
@@JackDelivers thanks mate had my induction today for Stafford I’m on buddy runs also looking in to getting in to class 2 little nervous way you described it’s simple and sure will come to me when I’m doing it on me own but suffer from dyslexia n little processing difficulties! But hopeing won’t cause me an issue! Thank you for your videos and and info and Asda Tamworth is our shop if ever onsite n see you will defo say hi thank you mate and wish you the absolute best with the class 2! It’s something I want to give a try in the future! Working in Stafford when shopping I go to Tamworth!
Bit of a journey that mate! Hope everything goes well and goodluck in starting today! If you have any Class 2 questions you can send me an email I’d be happy to help and talk about it, shootingjones@gmail.com - had my license for about a year now, I’ve been working for the council driving the bin lorries in the weekdays. It’s pretty good fun haha.
Done this for 6months during lock down.absolute joke of a job especially on a Saturday as I was averaging around 28 drops.non bloody stop and all for £9.36 ph hated loading and unloading the van,driving part wasnt too bad...go steady haha
You must be working for the wrong company then I work for Sainsbury’s and I get paid £12.75 and the van is always loaded for me before I get in to the store. All we have to do is the van safety check the then leave plus more than often we have around 8 to 15 drops to done and do a average of 150 to 200 miles on a 8 hour shift.
I worked for Sainsburys and it was a joke. on a 10 hour shift it would be split into 2 or 3 runs with 10/15 drops per run .on our shortest 4 hour shift we had 12 to 15 drops. P.S always getting penalised for just creeping over the speed limit, or braking to harsh if someone pulls out in front of you , our store had around 75 drivers ,and atleast half of those were on final warnings. Now i work for Iceland and its so much better. @@Matthewpotter-w7l
Sounds like our place now. £11.11ph and getting 25+ drops per van very regularly. My record is 32 drops. A few lads have had 35. The record is 36! That driver very nearly walked out that day.
Depends so if near mcdonalds or garage will pop in their to use the bathroom.. otherwise stores and whatnot. Sometimes take a packed lunch although sometimes grab a takeaway whilst I am out if I have the time on my break depending on where I am.
I can agree to that some times I feel like I don’t get a chance to have one and then some times I have a while between deliveries so it feels like a super long one..
Are the vans that your drive manual or automatic? I just want to know this because when I'm older I'm going to be one but I don't want to learn how to drive manual. Thanks!
Im doing the same job. I literally was searching to find videos on youtube to see how other works so i can improve. I want your help. I see you clearly working out. How do you maintain your weight? In summer time i loose alot of weight,mostly fat, but with 40 degrees outside i lose tons of water too. Whats your diet? I deliver minimum 20 orders per day and in summer time we use semi trucks up to 8 tons (clean weight of stuff).
I struggle to gain weight personally, I sit at around 72-75kg @ 5ft11… i go to the gym, around 3x a week. I used to go a lot more but too busy now, I just go to maintain what I have and do the weights. I train martial arts twice a week in my spare time. Diet wise.. I eat rubbish to be honest, I need to start meal prepping but I eat what I enjoy. A mix of fresh, frozen and fruit. I do like fruit.. Staying hydrated is what I find is most important for me, I get through a lot of water daily.
@@JackDelivers Ι feel you brother. You burn hella lot calories with this job! Good thing is that we carry weights, so its kinda a second workout hehe :P:P Ill start a clean lean bulking now sinve im pretty low on fat, now its the chance. Wish me luck!
I've seen asda delivery jobs advertised in my area, but it says if you finish delivering early you have to help out in the store. Have you had to do that? Thats the bit that puts me off applying.
I usually help out in what we calk ‘the pod’, it’s the click and collect bay - or you return your items to the shelves in store for when customers decline them, about it. Never on the tills etc.
I’ll say what I said to another chap who asked me the other day, just go in with a clear head of what the job involves. Make sure you have any previous experience of customer service or driving in mind, they may ask you some questions on what you would do in some certain cases. Just be honest and say what you’d do! Take your driving license and right to work documents with you as well as they may want to take a copy on the day. Goodluck! A friendly smile and a positive attitude will take you a long way for it. :))
Hey! So your first 4 shifts (or atleast for my store) are ‘buddy runs’. Each time you take on more repsonsibility, so first shift you will be the passenger and observe, second you may start to learn to use the mobile device, third you will use the device and help unload etc and then on the fourth buddy run you will be doing the run yourself but watched by the other driver (so you will load, drive, unload yourself). Hope that makes sense! :)
Nothing too much mate, just dress smart casual and take your right to work documents - bring a smile and be keen I guess. If you’ve got this far there’s a good chance you’ll end up with the job!
I secure it now with the seatbelt after a previous comment mentioned it! However the company has new sack barrows now that are designed for the front with a specific restraint.
@@markharriers4694if you clock out and leave early you get pay deducted from your contracted hours. The store won't mind as they'll be paying less wages.
Definitely not enough. I used to drive and service, but work in store now. I've always said the drivers should be paid more than shop floor staff for the job they do. Especially the grief that sometimes comes with it.
Yer good vidio very interesting seeing what you do. Idea for you tone down the music a bit 😟 I'm watching this at 7am Sunday morning and finding music way to over the top to noise just pick better music and you will be bang on. This music will put watchers off, other than that it's great vidio. Cheers
Well done for actually taking the labels of the totes hahaha
As someone who used to work in the homeshopping department as a manager I really appreciate this, the amount of times new labels would fall off totes because of the old ones and it messes up the whole system!

@user-kh1zj1yq9u 150-200 miles on a shift with a maximum of 15 drops,would this be on the moon by any chance... crickey
Never had 28 drops! That’s madness, especially on 9.36ph! I’m glad the wage has gone up a little bit since then but that sounds chaos aha.
I worked for Sainsburys and it was a joke. on a 10 hour shift it would be split into 2 or 3 runs with 10/15 drops per run .on our shortest 4 hour shift we had 12 to 15 drops. P.S always getting penalised for just creeping over the speed limit, or braking to harsh if someone pulls out in front of you , our store had around 75 drivers ,and atleast half of those were on final warnings. Now i work for Iceland and its so much better. @@Matthewpotter-w7l
Sounds like our place now. £11.11ph and getting 25+ drops per van very regularly. My record is 32 drops. A few lads have had 35. The record is 36! That driver very nearly walked out that day.
Hi so starting job as driver this week are all toke numbers together for the ambient chilled and frozen
Great video! I have a few questions.
Where do you go toilet? Do you take a packed lunch?
Depends so if near mcdonalds or garage will pop in their to use the bathroom.. otherwise stores and whatnot. Sometimes take a packed lunch although sometimes grab a takeaway whilst I am out if I have the time on my break depending on where I am.
@@JackDelivers Thanks a lot!
I work in asda the only prob with work is we don't always manage to take our breaks
I can agree to that some times I feel like I don’t get a chance to have one and then some times I have a while between deliveries so it feels like a super long one..
I like the look of the job im just put off that if not delivering do you have to go on the tills ect?
@@danielplfrench thank you 😊
🔥🔥
How fit you need to be? Do you have to carry heavy stuff? How heavy? Do you use trolley?
Are the vans that your drive manual or automatic? I just want to know this because when I'm older I'm going to be one but I don't want to learn how to drive manual. Thanks!
All of our fleet are currently automatic mercedes sprinters.
I like you with your I like it just because I I want to listen to some understand English but I want to listen to some 😊ikaans stories of you
Great video subscribed cheers
Im doing the same job. I literally was searching to find videos on youtube to see how other works so i can improve.
I want your help. I see you clearly working out. How do you maintain your weight? In summer time i loose alot of weight,mostly fat, but with 40 degrees outside i lose tons of water too. Whats your diet?
I deliver minimum 20 orders per day and in summer time we use semi trucks up to 8 tons (clean weight of stuff).
I struggle to gain weight personally, I sit at around 72-75kg @ 5ft11… i go to the gym, around 3x a week. I used to go a lot more but too busy now, I just go to maintain what I have and do the weights. I train martial arts twice a week in my spare time. Diet wise.. I eat rubbish to be honest, I need to start meal prepping but I eat what I enjoy. A mix of fresh, frozen and fruit. I do like fruit.. Staying hydrated is what I find is most important for me, I get through a lot of water daily.
@@JackDelivers Ι feel you brother. You burn hella lot calories with this job! Good thing is that we carry weights, so its kinda a second workout hehe :P:P
Ill start a clean lean bulking now sinve im pretty low on fat, now its the chance. Wish me luck!
I've seen asda delivery jobs advertised in my area, but it says if you finish delivering early you have to help out in the store. Have you had to do that? Thats the bit that puts me off applying.
I usually help out in what we calk ‘the pod’, it’s the click and collect bay - or you return your items to the shelves in store for when customers decline them, about it. Never on the tills etc.
How long takes training or someone first days sitting with you in van ?
New to channel. What do u reccomend for newbies to have with them?😊
I have my interview tomorrow with the assessment is there anything I should expect? I have been driving for 2 years a normal car
I’ll say what I said to another chap who asked me the other day, just go in with a clear head of what the job involves.
Make sure you have any previous experience of customer service or driving in mind, they may ask you some questions on what you would do in some certain cases. Just be honest and say what you’d do! Take your driving license and right to work documents with you as well as they may want to take a copy on the day. Goodluck! A friendly smile and a positive attitude will take you a long way for it. :))
@@JackDelivers thankyou mate best answer i appreciate it
Hi mate looking to apply! How does the training work? Do you go out with another driver in the passenger seat for the first week? And then drive?
Hey! So your first 4 shifts (or atleast for my store) are ‘buddy runs’. Each time you take on more repsonsibility, so first shift you will be the passenger and observe, second you may start to learn to use the mobile device, third you will use the device and help unload etc and then on the fourth buddy run you will be doing the run yourself but watched by the other driver (so you will load, drive, unload yourself).
Hope that makes sense! :)
No chance I’m loading my own van.
Hi mate. I've got an interview for the same role with Asda tomorrow? Any tips you provide would be much appreciated.
Nothing too much mate, just dress smart casual and take your right to work documents - bring a smile and be keen I guess. If you’ve got this far there’s a good chance you’ll end up with the job!
Hello brother I am driver and I am currently in Dubai is it possible for you to guide me to get job there ?
I was Superman😊and having water
Genuine question, where is your shirt from? Looks like a Police shirt? Dont happen to be a Special?
Maybe… I don’t have any short sleeve work specific shirts and there’s no markings on it to identify, I’m surprised you got that from a shirt.
@@JackDelivers I’ve had some involvement in the police and me mates a cop 😂 main reason. We both have worn that shirt
Ah awesome, all I can say is I wear it with pride and hope to continue to do so.
Are the Vans Manual or Automatic
Auto
Is it Manuel or automatic vans?
Auto :)
Sack truck at the front very naughty
I secure it now with the seatbelt after a previous comment mentioned it! However the company has new sack barrows now that are designed for the front with a specific restraint.
No early early-ish
If late you late not much you can do about it
Go stady 😂
Please… no, I don’t want to hear that anymore 😭 😂
How much earn in 1 day?
Not enough, depends if you stay till the end of the shift of not, £80 if your lucky
currently about £11 per hour
@@Razorback83how does it work then can you just leave when finished?
@@markharriers4694if you clock out and leave early you get pay deducted from your contracted hours. The store won't mind as they'll be paying less wages.
Definitely not enough. I used to drive and service, but work in store now. I've always said the drivers should be paid more than shop floor staff for the job they do. Especially the grief that sometimes comes with it.
Great Video!
Yer good vidio very interesting seeing what you do. Idea for you tone down the music a bit 😟 I'm watching this at 7am Sunday morning and finding music way to over the top to noise just pick better music and you will be bang on. This music will put watchers off, other than that it's great vidio. Cheers
Thank you for the feedback, I will!
