Pizza delivery boy! Finding Insurance

Thats what i mean, you will get sat 70p for each delivery which will barely cover the petrol, especially if you forget something like a bottle of coke and have to go back. Me being dyslexic did that all the time. The amount of times the customer says "oh i ordered Sour cream chive source not BBQ", when i actually took the order and know that they just want extra sources. So i just used to say "Ok ill go allllll the way back and pick you one up. I do have to take the BBQ back though". I never fcuking went back pmsl. :devil:
 
When I used to work as a delivery driver i got good money. Earned around £40 a night for 5 hours. Plus a half a tank of petrol at the end of it. My pay used to be £1 a delivery, get to keep tips and £5.00 an hour. Weren't bad to get me on my feet.

As for insurance none of the other delivery drivers had it, hence why drivers put the pizza's in the boot. That way when they get stopped by the popo it isn't clearly obvious what they're doing. My old insurance (Direct Line) said pizza delivering counts as commuting, as you are going back and forth to the pizza shop.

Big Pizza company's are a waste of time IMO. Too many delivery drivers fighting for deliverys. A lil shop is what you want. My record for the most amount of pizza's delivered in a single trip was 13. Wacked the heaters up so no one moaned about them being cold :p
 
Not sure if this is effects you or not, but phoned up Swinton, and got a quote, when they asked what it was for, I said to and from work, social, I asked about my second job, which isn't always at the same place, and they said it would cover me for business use, asked what that covers, and everything apart from taxing (thats not spelt right?) people around.

It depends how long ago that was though. I made good money when i did it a few years ago, but the recession means that Tips have gone out the window and the rise of oil means that you spend a hell of a lot of £ on fuel.
 
Hey guys,

Thanks for the replies.

I had a word with the area manager, you guys were right they cover my insurance through their commerical insurance, basically if theres an accident their insurance covers it, im just liable for the excess (probably a billion)

the pay is pretty dire @ £5.73 an hour (close to 9quid on my main job)
but they do pay between 75p - £1.75 per delivery, and you can double up in order to reduce trips to any from.

Theres no "fighting" with the other drivers and there all pretty cool, dead helpfull in pointing you in the right direction. even advice on jobs which would be good doubles.

basically the driver on the top of the list has preference on hte next job to go out, as you log out on the system when you leave and log in when you arrive so deliveries are fair.

as ive said petrol is covered as extra, not part of the delivery costs, ive been told to bring my petrol receipts and they will give me cash. Im taking one for £25 tomorrow night so we shall how that goes wont we ;)

Tips are pretty crap to be fair, i even delivered to 2 people i know from my other job, didnt even round it up to the pound, wasnt impressed! how ever most people are happy to give you a quid.

Ive been keeping a spread sheet so i can see if its worth doing:



CASH EON - End Of Night basically they pay your delivery rate to you, plus your tips thats what i walked out with, wages are paid biweekly.

So averages a pound per delivery, will have more of an accurate report in a months time to see if this is worth it.

still its pennies towards my Toyota Sera :)
