Understand a typical shift
Ask about the depot, loading time, route area and expected finish. Find out whether the role includes carrying items indoors, handling returns or contacting customers before arrival. Check what equipment, training and help are provided for the goods involved.
Before you accept
Confirm how pay is calculated, whether a vehicle is supplied and what costs you are expected to cover. Ask how missed deliveries and changes to the route are managed. Keep a copy of the role details so you can compare opportunities on the same basis.
