Evri like ever other large business have good staff whos work goes unnoticed because we don’t give praise for a job well done, only flagging up poor service. DPD driver collected my laptop last week and said he gets £1 per collection, 240 drops a day he said 240 x £1 x six days = £1440 a week - bet DPD charge "van rent and lots of other hidden costs".

They drive like lunatics....

But that was delivering proper and getting everything signed for

You'd be lucky to get even 14 drops per hour around here.....
It takes 20mins to get from A to B.

But that was delivering proper and getting everything signed for Citylink went bust in 2015. (must have been the low delivery rate - Sic). -------- On a more sensible note: Parcel delivery drivers - don't stick the job - the turn over of staff is unreal. I cannot see this being a £50k a year job! Is it?

I cannot see this being a £50k a year job! Is it?My short stint was back in 2002. I was in between jobs. If you're "lucky" enough to get proper employed it's a 10 pound an hour job. The only firm you can earn a half decent wage with is UPS.
