Being contractor aint the same thing as being tesco driver believe me :D

[@lukey3507]

Yes, I was on GXO contract for frozen, 20+ cages to deliver to 12 different stores all over the UK, routes were well planned. Tesco driver had 3 drops in a 12 hour shift, tipped by a Tesco store worker.

[@annawiaderna1345]

@@lukey3507 Thats true. Or if you lucky you could ge ddt with 1 store to deliver. 6 hr job but poa was your best friend :) Tesco was one of the easiest job i ever did.

why isn't it the same thing? is being a tesco driver or contractor driver better, and why?

[@marktucker208]

I see so many culinas at Morrisons, all day they get deliveries

[@Lyminton]

I am looking at getting into a hgv course soon but is it really worth it for someone with out any degrees or anything. I hear aldis pays 14 to work in thr wearhouse. So is it really worththe extra stress to be hgv or wearhouse .? Thanks

Depending on what job you go for. If you go for a Day Linehaul driver at DHL and are paid Linehaul driver wages and not bulk driver wages, then maybe. If you go for supermarket or multidrop pallet deliveries, then go for the warehouse. Supermarkets, you could be waiting hours before you're unloaded. Pallet multidrop, you could be sent anywhere, where a smart car struggles to get down, you're expected to go down the same road as planners don't care.

just going where the money is better but can't complain about tesco , they does not overload drivers with work like elsewhere.

[@bigtruckerVA]

16.53 per hour, but holidays was included in this pay rate.

[@bigtruckerVA]

@@helloworld-oj9co 16.53 per hour, but holidays was included in this pay rate, so basically 14.53 per hour.
