Ever wondered what it would be like to be an Evri courier? If you’re looking for a parcel delivery job with flexibility, then it could be the path for you. We take you through what a job with Evri could mean for you.
What does an Evri courier do?
As a self-employed parcel delivery driver, you'll start your day at your local Delivery Unit, where you'll collect all your parcels for the day. While you're there, you can catch up with the other local couriers, swap stories, exchange tips on faster routes, and get to know people. It's a great way to kick off your day.
Then, you’ll scan your parcels and load them into your car or van, plot your route, and hit the open road. You'll also get a Community Delivery Manager to help, support, and guide you whenever you need them.
How many parcels do you deliver a day?
There’s no limit to the number of parcels you can deliver in a day – except the limit you set yourself. Once you have your load for the day, simply plan your route and off you go. If you’re doing a good job, you’ll be able to take on even more parcels. And remember, more parcels mean more earnings.
How much do couriers earn per parcel?
Our parcel delivery driver salary is calculated on an hourly basis, with most drivers having the chance to earn a competitive rate around £15 per hour.
Benefits of being an Evri courier
One of the best things about working as a parcel delivery driver with us is that you can plan your day around your lifestyle. All our friendly local couriers are self-employed. That means they set their own schedules, working at times to suit them. Deliver and collect parcels any time between 8am and 8pm and work around the school run, dinner at your mum's, or a regular study session - whatever it is you do with your spare time.
It also means you can use your own car when delivering parcels, so there’s no need to get used to a new set of wheels. Plus, you’ll only ever be asked to deliver in your local area – which means driving around somewhere you’re familiar with and no need to prepare for any long road trips.
