Driving for Amazon , pointless ??

[West1990]

Amazon want me to come in for an interview ,

Working hours are 8 am to 10pm although I assume if I deliver my load earlier (who knows how much 150 probably) id still get the daily rate

£115 a day 6 days a week ( total £690

Weekly van rental £210 (down to £480

Then after tax and contributions down to £389

I was temping and delivering 50 to 80 parcels a day working 9 hours for £360

Where as Amazon you be working upto 15 hours a day 6 days a week for £389

Essentially there offering £5.30 an hour

And probably have an excess on the van insurance too .

Yes insurance is included in the van rental but, they don't tell you there is an excess on the insurance which you have to pay upto a few thousand pound

Where you going get the time to do extra , shifts are 8am to 10pm 6 days a week and your forgetting if your a two man crew your splitting that wage in two thats about £150+ each
