Delivery drivers use light vans, cars, utilities, motor
bikes, scooters or bicycles to pick up and deliver goods,
usually over short distances.
A delivery driver may perform the following tasks:
- drive the vehicle into position for loading or unloading
- assist with loading or unloading to make sure goods are
correctly stowed
- check loading documents
- plan the shortest delivery route and drive the vehicle
to the destination
- use a two-way radio, and possibly data screens in some
vehicles, to keep in contact with the depot or base
- arrange unloading and obtain a receipt for goods
delivered
- handle cash and give correct change to customers
- report vehicle maintenance needs
- hand-deliver goods.
Delivery drivers may be employed on a subcontract basis and
provide their own vehicles. Motorcycle and bicycle couriers
nearly always provide their own transport. Some delivery
drivers may wear a uniform.
