AN Amazon delivery driver has revealed the truth behind the job people think is “proper easy”.
The man hit back at the assumptions in a video on his TikTok page, as he shared a look inside his van – packed from top to bottom with parcels.
“Just a quick one for everyone saying that Amazon’s proper easy,” he began.
“I just want you to take a minute!”
He then showed details of his delivery route for the day – with 336 stops and 788 parcels to deliver.
“Yeah, that’s my day today,” he sighed.
“336 stops and no space in the van whatsoever!”
And to finish things off, it was raining too.
“What’s the pay?” one person asked in the comments section.
To which the delivery driver replied: “£130 /route. Today 2 routes 2x pay.”
Reflecting on his £260 day, he added: “It’s a healthy wage!”
“Damn that’s not bad at all, fair play,” the person responded.
“Worst job I ever had… especially in the RAIN!” another wrote.
“The rain really makes the day bad,” the driver sighed.
“Phones be bugging!”
“Two routes, double pay – been there done that,” a third commented.
“Add a flex shift on top in the morning looking at 310 a day – not for the weak!”
“Mate it really isn’t,” the TikToker replied.
Side hustles in numbers
Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income.
Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024.
Those aged 24-42 aren’t far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income.
Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one.
Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way.
“I respect the graft.”
“You lot do work hard,” someone else praised.
“The lads and lasses that deliver to me are brilliant.”
