A DAY IN THE LIFE… Name: Rose
Scherer, 23 Customer Ful filment Centre, Erith Delivery area: Kent Works: Three 10½-hour and two five-hour shif ts per week Base: Tesco
I’ve been a customer delivery driver for two and a half years. When I applied I had a driving assessment, then two days in the classroom, and a week going out with a driver to learn the ropes and get used to the van. Then I was ready to go out on my own.
The day begins with checking that my van is safe and ready to go. Once it’s loaded, I check the schedule. I go out for around four hours at a time, with seven to 12 deliveries. I love driving, and listen to music as I go, but the best thing is meeting the customers. I always greet people with a smile and ask if they’d like me to bring the delivery in and help them unpack. For elderly customers, I’m often the only person they see – it can really make their day.
The work is hands-on and no two shifts are the same, as customers look for help in all sorts of ways. It’s important to be easy-going. I started at Tesco in fulfilment and never thought I’d become a driver. Now, when I’m on the road, I feel like I’m my own boss. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
