I'm writing this as a former employee as Indeed job site removed my post because it was far to honest and they didn't like it because they recruit heavily with a heavy turnover of staff for them.
So after a recruitment process all done online for a delivery driver at the Cheadle Hulme depot (shows they are desperate for staff) I was taken on, given 3 days training, which was hurried and not in depth (because they wanted you out on the road asap), I was sent out.
The device they give you to get around called a Dani system, sends you everywhere except where you need to be going most of the time, sends you down country lanes with dead ends, takes you around long routes and spins around like a compass so you end up going the wrong way, then when you end up in a dead end and stuck, it's all your fault!
The yard is a pokey little area stuck at the end of a tight street with so many delivery vans and articulated lorries turning on a pin to back up, it's ridiculous and dangerous! No set procedure for safe driving to get in and out of the yard.
A lot of the managers think they are in the Gestapo or should be, BUT not all I do add!
I did this for 3 days on my own out on the road and you rush around like a blue arsed fly and you don't get a break because you don't have time.
They say don't rush, but if you didn't try to, you would be at it all day! You certainly could risk points on your driving licence doing this job!
Ok, you get out and about in the van , but they watch you like a hawk, monitoring everything you do.
Days off wise, mainly one day at a time and work most weekends.
To the very, very rude lorry driver who drives for Ocado and you know who you are, you are a disgrace to your profession!
