DPD Driver Franchise

msharp

Hi everyone 

does anyone have any recent experience of setting up the DPD ODF franchise? I’ve so been waiting a week for a call from the depot to discuss route options following the initial video call. 

despite emails and calls from myself nothing seems to be moving very quickly. Is this usually the case?

Can anyone advise the following: 
So can you actually make money as a DPD ODF? Is it worth doing to make a good buck? Can someone talk numbers broken down per day income. How much exactly are my costs. How soon can I grow this company?

Would be really grateful if someone can explain in detail i.e. income per drop and collection, then please list van costs, fuel card (who pays the fuel: franchisee or DPD?) Insurance, etc. I know accounting costs...these aren't much. In a year, for one route minimum, how much income am I looking at?

Lastly, how do we get the van(s) are these leased through DPD or do we lease them ourselves and brand them DPD? I want to know income, costs and more costs. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. 

There are a few good stories of people doing well and living comfortably whereas others are saying don't even think about it.
