Yellow Express Reviews

You have the choice of taking up a set delivery run of different deliverables (food, paper sheets, marketing promos, tyres etc) taking up adhoc deliverables. I prefer the adhoc jobs with a mix of set runs (assisting with others drivers who can't complete set runs for whatever reasons). I like the freedom and independence as it doesn't tie you down to an office, chair or work site. The variety of the jobs to be delivered gives me the challenge as everyday it's never the same as the previous. It's always different in terms of the deliverables (office equipment or furnishings provided by client company to one of their staff who is working offsite from home in a remote and idealic suburb outside of Greater Sydney with a dirt track driveway for example). I actually enjoy driving and have a manual (twin turbo of cos) vehicle and relish those assignments with long driving kms (Newcastle, Katoomba, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Wollongong etc) and those tricky winding, twisty, hair pin curves, narrow, ascending, descending, sealed, unsealed roads. Plus you have the great support from head office and dispatch team even if you get lost or the receiver is closed or not home. Ever since driving for Yellow, I have never once dreaded the Monday-itis. Honest secret is - it's what you make out of your delivery.

Good variety of jobs to do. You can do adhoc or set runs or a combination of both. Good support from the office. Dispatch try to help out with giving you jobs that are in your area or in the direction you are going so there isn't a huge amount of wasted backtracking. I previously worked in the security industry (19 years) and wanted to get away from shift work. Yellow Express is a good fit for me as I can have a better work/life balance.
