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 deliver promises as well as parcels and are continuously improving our terms. All our rates are competitively enhanced taking business mileage and operational costs into consideration.

Daily & Weekly Payment Options

• Flexible payment options for Self Employed delivery drivers, with earnings available from the very next day via an app provided by our early access partner.
• Alternatively, join the weekly payment cycle scheme, which kicks in following 4 weeks of completed delivery services.

Both payment options allow you to receive more regular payments for the delivery services you have provided.

We have plenty of parcels to deliver

• Parcels weigh up to 15 kg 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

• Plan your own route or use our award-winning app with built-in optimisation to plan routes and liaise directly with customers.

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

We'll develop and support you

• Independence of being self-employed with backing from our expert team and access to a Yodel representative.
