I’ve done Hermes and Yodel. Shifts 10-13 hours on average. Money decent on agency, ■■■■■ as an employee (when I was there).
Drop/swaps mainly. Not hard. Days, mids and nights available. Various start times. No load strapping as all box trailers.

What’s an average shift involve? Start at dept, get truck then deliver to another depot? The van couriers collect from you do they ?

Idid a very short stint at a dpd depot up the road from me as a warehouse bod. Drivers were expected to help unload the wagons if they said they needed to take a break the wagon was left untouched untill they came back. I only lasted 2 nights.

It varies. Sometimes just one drop and swap. Sometimes a couple. Meet other drivers to swap trailers or pick up trailers. Depends where you are in the country really.
