Worse place to work for selfemployed
Owner Driver (Former Employee) - Lichfield - 3 August 2019
States uncapped benefits. But the bulk items are capped to 20 parcels. So you will only get paid for 20 parcels. Also you only get £1 a parcel. Most drops are only one parcels. You have to do minimum 140 drops a day to make £140-£150 and then ontop minus your fuel and costs your left with £90-£100 if that. Managment is well there is non to be fair
Pros
Non
Cons
Cant take days off. Capped to what they want you to be

Stay Away from Yodel
Owner Driver (Former Employee) - Lichfield, Staffordshire - 21 April 2017
The pay is dismal , especially as a owner driver, you'll start your day 6am and won't get home until 7/8pm. ... straight to bed like a robot. They lock you into a service provider contract which means they charge you £150 per day if you can't come in due to an emergency or sickness and so many sneaky little charges here and there.
You're self employed so have little to no rights, they cannot guarantee you work but they want you to sign a contract to guarantee you'll work the route given 6 days a week regardless of your circumstances.
When you add up everything and take away the fuel and van costs you make between £60-70 for a 12 hours of hard repetitive labour. You have no rights but carry all the responsibility according to the contract.
Pros
Got out ASAP
Cons
It should illegal
