Yodel

Haven't seen a thread on this recently. Yodel are advertising in my area for self employed delivery drivers. I have a car and am self employed already.

Just wondering if anyone does this and has any comments? I just need a boost in income for the next few months. £100-150 a week would be great. I need to fit in around getting kids off to school on the taxi and some days being here when they are dropped off. Other than that, my time is flexible and I'm happy to work.

Is it worth pursuing? Is there anything else I can do to earn that sort of money for a few months. Looking at jobs around me and there are a few I might go for but the flexi time of Yodel is appealing. Or is it not that flexible?

Thank you.

    Hi, have you thought about delivery for local takeaway?

    I think Yodel can be pretty time consuming, especially at peak times, it would probably mean quite long days (from 6am til 7pm).

    They would expect a lot of deliveries in short spaces of time so can be quite demanding
  • Thanks, probably not ideal then. Checking out the supermarkets to see if they need extra over Xmas.
