A Day in The Life of Courier in Australia

[@BradGryphonn]

You're lucky. I drove trucks long distances and as a courier in vans etc for 30 years. My wife never made my lunch. Man, you should hug your wife. She makes an awesome lunch for you!

[@ThatIndoGuy]

Thank you. Showed your comment to my wife. I agree she is most awesome 😄

Hey Dave what's the pay like and are you a subcontractor?

Hello, I hope not to disturb you. My name is Mohamed. I am 36 years old. I am from Algeria. I have been working as a truck driver since 2014. I want to immigrate to Australia to work and live there. Can you help me get addresses or emails of companies that need truck drivers so that I can write to them and communicate with them for Obtaining a work contract makes it easier for me to accept the visa application.

[@ThePilbaraPrince]

I appreciate the effort you made filming this video. Setting up the camera, all the different angles etc. And then towards the end of the video I realised you are in Perth. Got to love that.

[@ThatIndoGuy]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@daniwilliams2679]

Wow! Fantastic video David!! Great angles and love the music choice. I only came across your video because I’m considering taking up a similar role. From feeling down about landing a permanent job, to watching your video, put a big smile on my face. I’m going to apply for the courier’s role. Thanks David, take care😊

[@BradGryphonn]

I worked in transport here in Australia from around 1988 to 2015 with a six year break to work in Infotech in the late 90s. Nothing has really changed other than scanning and tracking technology is better. I worked for Coles a few years ago delivering groceries and they use the same system as Toll does (they used to contract Toll for home delivery). Unfortunately, their GPS mapping system was designed for heavy vehicles, not small, 2-tonne fridge vans, so it was easier to use Google Maps with voice recognition to get deliveries done efficiently, even though company policy banned the use of google maps. You could empathise with me when the company map tells you to drive a 4km loop to enter a street from the opposite end because 'heavy vehicles' can't enter from the end you're at, but the house you're delivering to is 200 metres down that street.

[@ThatIndoGuy]

You're right not much has changed. Toll doesn't give vans a gps tracking device. I can relate with your experience. Thanks for sharing.

Good vid. when boiling eggs - you can do a small hole in each one so easier to peel and do them in batch, you can keep some in the fridge, save energy.

[@mrdbooks7285]

Questions, though it is a little bit late, 2 years behind. 1. Is that your van and do you pay for everything related to it. 2. How many hours a day do you work, how many days a week, how many hours a week. 3. How much do you earn before expenses, ruffffffly per day, pre expenses. I currently do UBER ruffffly 14-20hrs per week and am just looking at other options, even Jims Lawn mowing as an option for me. Any Feedback appreciated, as I am just weighing up options.

[@ThatIndoGuy]

You need to contact the logistic company that delivered your parcel. If your parcel has 'signature required' label, the courier would at least get the recipient's name. If the parcel has 'authority to leave' then the courier has to take a photo of where they left the parcel.

Why do your couriers never bother even attempting delivery, and always force you to go pick it up at a depot? There’s a reason Toll has a bad reputation and widespread low reviews.

[@sunmarty]

I think some of the drivers are very bad for knocking on door and wait, some are not, but I think better get the package send to your work place? If not maybe find a safe place for courier can leave the package

[@RennieAsh]

The ones getting paid per parcel probably do a rush job to earn money faster. Other times, you need to look at your situation from the outside. Does your doorbell work? Do you have locked gates, or exposed areas where there is no suitable place to leave etc Did you specify to leave, or does your seller require signature
