Why join Yodel?

Competitive rates for each parcel you deliver or collect
Typically, our Delivery Drivers can earn anything between £18 - £20p/h (paid per parcel). We're in the business of delivering promises as well as parcels; therefore, we're raising our game and giving you more reasons to come and join us. All our rates are competitively enhanced, taking business mileage and operational costs into consideration.

Daily & Weekly Payment Options
Yodel offers flexible payment options to all Self Employed delivery drivers, giving you the option to access earnings from the very next day via our early access partner, Onsi, or alternatively, suppliers can join the weekly payment cycle scheme, which kicks in following 4 weeks of completed delivery services.

We have plenty of parcels that need delivering and collecting from stores
There are plenty of parcels to deliver meaning the earning opportunity is in your hands. Our parcels weigh up to a maximum of 15kg and can vary in size. You can realistically deliver and collect between 16-25 parcels an hour depending on the area and your experience, for 6 days a week. The more you deliver, the more you earn with the opportunity to take more parcels and boost your revenue.

We'll give you freedom and flexibility
You can plan your own route or use our handy award-winning app with simple instructions and built-in optimisation which will help you prepare and plan your routes more easily, as well as allowing you to liaise directly with customers.

We'll offer regular work in the same area, 6 days a week

The Life of a Core Delivery Driver
Each day is what you make it. You can plan your own route, which will keep things fresh and interesting. At each delivery or doorstep, use your mobile to scan parcels and ensure they're safely received by the customer, so there's no difficult technology for you to get to grips with. We will arrange a suitable time for you to collect your parcels daily, or for those located within a more rural area, we can drop to you. Simple!
