A few questions - Delivery Driving

Van Driving - ASDA Store Delivery - Multi-Drop Delivery Driving

Hey all, the third video is here. Finally got around to it. Thank you so much for the positive reception and engagement on the last two, it's great to hear from anyone else who is interested in becoming a driver or currently is for the supermarkets out there!

I have question, or two, for you all here. Wonder if you can answer them or agree with me!

**THIS VIDEO IS IN NO WAY ENDORSED BY THE COMPANY SHOWN

I’ve been an Asda customer delivery driver since December, was 20 years old at the time. I’m liking the job, we go out far sometimes as some of our route involves going to rural parts in North Wales.. Our vans are Ford Transit 350 and we have 5 of them at the store. I Recently got my Class 1 hgv licence too. For now sticking with ASDA van driving and just see what happens in the future. Good video

Great vlogs showing the job nicely. I see you scan everything off, i used to leave the palm in the van and manually action everything, just saved me time. Waving to fellow van drivers always good. Keep up the good work mate 👍

[neilt]

Did you say you had aircon? Wow, we don't at Tesco. Yep always wave at other rival vans, we're all brothers in arms!

[jackandrews]

I work for Ocado and I try and wave at other supermarkets drivers! In regards to what I listen to I generally listen to the radio. Greg James on Radio 1 from 7am can be entertaining and Scott Mills on Radio 2 from 2pm are my picks.

Hey, nice video! Yeah, at our store we all wave at each other, no matter what company they work for, it's very wholesome :)). In the van, I kind of listen to whatever really, my music taste is very varied, I'll listen to a classic rock song, and then the next one will be 90s rap, and the next might be classical lmao. I do listen to a few podcasts also, one I've been listening to is This American Life, they have some very gripping and captivating stories on there. Keep up the good work :D

Hi. I start my role at asda on Monday, i used to be a postie so im looking forward to getting back to a delivery job role. My question is do you get training on how to load van? Im assuming the totes are put in in a certain order and the pda will tell you what totes are for which drop? Is there a sat nav on pda to take you to your drop?

[grahamsfarmportugal]

Yes i wave, even if its morrisons or sainsburys or asda driver. Tunes threw bluetooth, last tesco vans had no bluetooth glad they all got scrapped.

[aaronhooper]

I worked for r mail and used to listen to history podcasts or gta radio through YouTube which was funny and entertaining, also sport channels and Audiobooks.

[ianrogerson]

i always wave ! . i have 20 GBites of music, 100 GBites of audiobooks, trance, classical, opera, soul, duke Ellington, Nina simone, loys of Ministry of Sound 1

Hey just got a full time job with Asda delivering I start Monday I CAN NOT WAIT. I noticed on the basket it said 17-152-m01 what does this mean ? They told me in the show around but I couldn't take it in.

[mrbigweld]

While She Sleeps mentioned 🤩🤟

eta: try Sekte - The Narrator, its a banger. So is anything by narrator imo 😅😂

[RossPatzelt]

do you stay out all day or go back to the store for lunch and reload the afternoon?

[jedwarren]

‘I could murder a podcast’ I highly reccomend

[benandrews]

Can I ask, are the vans automatic or can you request automatic vans? I'd love this job but don't like manual.

[staceynatynczyk]

How do you have your breaks . Do you have them whilst out on the road? How long do you get?

[joshpereira]

Do the radio stations in the vans work?

[raymondhunt]

Why can't you deliver early if the customer is in, when I was on sales vans we just turned up at any time and not many people moaned, but that was years ago when it was a good job to have and the vans were loaded overnight and you finished when all your calls were done, No set hours.

[markharriers]

Do you have to work the whole shift or go home when finished, ? Also do you have to work in store as that puts me off

[Bishx]

I’m applying for ASDA driver role atm and hoping to get it! How many hours do you do and what is the current pay you get ? Thanks

[craig]
