Skilled-Solutions

A typical day of work is quite stressful , you start late , there is delays in the depot parcels missing, bags missing, you are at the clock to load as fast as possible and in the meantime they have DPMO DPO and loads of these metric following your driving customers experience and a lot of other things designed to get your bonus from you, which nobody has seen since they made it for the whole fleet. The hardest part is you get 200 stops at least 300 parcels and you have two minute to deliver 5 parcels to 4 different addresses which is still considered one stop. It is so stressful , that is why most of the drivers stop caring ! 

This company is an extremely disorganised company delivering for Amazon. I was promised 6 days a week, being fully aware it is a self employed role. I was promised 6 days a week, but my shifts are getting cancelled EVERY SINGLE DAY. I did not have this problem at my previous DSP. This DSP cancels your shift 30 minutes before it starts. My previous DSP would also have too many drivers sometimes, but instead of cancelling last minute, the manager would organise who wants to share a route/take a day off. But with this company, its a lucky draw. It's not a stable income due to the inconsistent schedules and poor organisation that mess up the plans for the entire week.

Skilled Solutions has been incredibly supportive throughout the onboarding process as a delivery driver, especially for someone who is completely new to the industry. 

The job itself can be demanding however, it never gets boring! It's extremely helpful and inspiring to have a network of industry experts and experienced drivers. 

Good pay vs the workload with the opportunity to earn more. Rental vans are available if needed but you'll earn more with your own van. Massive bonus is the flexibility and time off if needed. Easy to switch off at the end of the day. Staff are genuine honest guys and there is some good seasonal bonuses.

Multi-drop driving isn't for everyone, but if you're the type of person that hates the idea of a monotonous office job, this type of job gives you the freedom and impendence to be in control of your working days and income.

The team is always helpful and supportive staff. They are happy to give all the tools you need to develop and grow your career. I really enjoyed my time at SKSO and will miss their team of managers and support staff. 

Awful van rental people. Scumbags and disgusting attitude. The work is for amazon which makes you want to kill yourself. No empathy and force you to deliver all parcels off otherwise you feel like your job is on the line.

Can't ask for much more from a company, very supportive, excellent service and an all round good experience. I would highly recommend Skilled Solutions to anyone looking for work
