Thanks for your support guys!
You're lucky. I drove trucks long distances and as a courier in vans etc for 30 years. My wife never made my lunch. Man, you should hug your wife. She makes an awesome lunch for you!
Thank you. Showed your comment to my wife. I agree she is most awesome 😄
Hey Dave what's the pay like and are you a subcontractor?
Hello, I hope not to disturb you. My name is Mohamed. I am 36 years old. I am from Algeria. I have been working as a truck driver since 2014. I want to immigrate to Australia to work and live there. Can you help me get addresses or emails of companies that need truck drivers so that I can write to them and communicate with them for Obtaining a work contract makes it easier for me to accept the visa application. Thank you, and I am sorry again for the inconvenience

Wow! Fantastic video David!! Great angles and love the music choice. I only came across your video because I’m considering taking up a similar role. From feeling down about landing a permanent job, to watching your video, put a big smile on my face. I’m going to apply for the courier’s role. Thanks David, take care😊
I miss Perth so much! Cant wait to move back. I've applied to work for Toll here in the Gold Coast as a forkie and hopefully I get it
I appreciate the effort you made filming this video. Setting up the camera, all the different angles etc. And then towards the end of the video I realised you are in Perth. Got to love that.
Thank you for watching 😊
Well done David!👏👏👏❤
Mmmuaantab... semangat terus David.
Really nice work! Keep it up
Great video really enjoyed it 👍
Salute..David...semangat terus.. 👍👍
nice video. hope it goes viral mate
Thanks for watching
Good vid. when boiling eggs - you can do a small hole in each one so easier to peel and do them in batch, you can keep some in the fridge, save energy.
After seeing this awesome video I've decided to subscribe to you please do more vids like this with ur work it's awesome 👌
thank you

Was thinking you should watch as your garage door closes before you walk away incase someone tires to sneak in. Cool video :)
Thanks for watching 😊
I worked in transport here in Australia from around 1988 to 2015 with a six year break to work in Infotech in the late 90s. Nothing has really changed other than scanning and tracking technology is better. I worked for Coles a few years ago delivering groceries and they use the same system as Toll does (they used to contract Toll for home delivery). Unfortunately, their GPS mapping system was designed for heavy vehicles, not small, 2-tonne fridge vans, so it was easier to use Google Maps with voice recognition to get deliveries done efficiently, even though company policy banned the use of google maps. You could empathise with me when the company map tells you to drive a 4km loop to enter a street from the opposite end because 'heavy vehicles' can't enter from the end you're at, but the house you're delivering to is 200 metres down that street.
You're right not much has changed. Toll doesn't give vans a gps tracking device. I can relate with your experience. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video mate well presented. With all them many parcels how do you organise your route specially that if it’s areas your not familiar with.
Most drivers at TOLL usually have a set run, so you do the same area everyday. You'll get the hang of it after a week or two.
This vlog is very good, lots of great camera angles!
With the driving shots im worried someone might take your camera
😆 I had the same thought but had to take the risk to get the angle I wanted. Thanks for watching.
jadi kangen Perth... :")
Semangat ya mas bro👍👍
Need more videos of this content, should make a vlog series
Good video thank you
Mantab videonya Bro, sukses trus👍
Terima kasih 🙏
great video
Questions, though it is a little bit late, 2 years behind.
1. Is that your van and do you pay for everything related to it.
2. How many hours a day do you work, how many days a week, how many hours a week.
3. How much do you earn before expenses, ruffffffly per day, pre expenses.
I currently do UBER ruffffly 14-20hrs per week and am just looking at other options, even Jims Lawn mowing as an option for me.
Any Feedback appreciated, as I am just weighing up options.
What’s your usual start and finish time? Looking at joining Toll as a van courier driver. Great job with the video. Looks like enjoyable work being out for most of the day
Hours varies depending on your run (delivery area). Starts anywhere between 6AM-8AM and finishes between 4:30PM-6PM. It's a perfect job if you like driving and meet people 🙂
All thanks 🙏 to (DR OKOSUN) who help me to manifest lottery numbers to win thank you so much...
I won 100,000 Real 🇧🇷 from the help of Dr okosun you can message him on WhatsApp 👇👇...
Nice video brother. How many times a day are you at the depot? Or is it just the one time.
Twice. In the morning to collect parcels from depot and then at the end of the day to drop off parcels collected from customers, to be sorted and sent to their destinations.
I hate office jobs, that is why I am working in transport industry for 5 years now, was courier contractor for 3 years now join a large transport business as company driver, love driving on the road and meeting people everyday, lots of freedom if you can sort out you day in the morning.
I lost my job as a car detailer last week been looking at courier driver but I can’t read and write Little bit slow is it an easy job what about the training ?
@@SJ-ef4pv company will provide all the training like how to use scanner etc, easy job difficult for the first month or so then should be very easy after that
@@sunmarty thx 🙏
How do you sort parcels in the van? Which parcel is placed where, how do you find it when at client location.
Thanks
I separate my parcels by suburbs and then by streets. Sort them in tubs. Arrange the tubs according to your planned route.
I love what u doing bro , how can I start doing this kind of job any advice will be helpful, thanks
Hi Mate good video. Do they allow part time ? Only if someone wants to do over weekend ?
Hi Mate. I'm not aware of part time drivers here. The only part timer I know are dock hands.
Man I want to work in toll when I'm a grown up
Nice work my friend. I am in the transition period out of my current situation and have this work in mind as my next stage. What are we looking at $8k a month with vehicle and most expenses tax deductible under the ABN. Well done with the vid enjoyed the understanding.
Thanks for watching. All the best in your next move 🙂
Hi is there ra certain way to sort them to pack into the van?
great video looks like a long day, how many hours start till finish ?
Depends on your run, average 9-10 hrs work + 1 hr lunch (unpaid)
Nice video 👍
Thanks for watching
Im thinking of leaving a toxic but well paying job and doing this....whats the average income for a courier driver like yourself if you dont mind me asking ?
Good job David 👍
See you at work! 🙂

Is there reversing camera on van? ( i haven't driven without one haha. Do you get the same van each day?
Hi, yes to both questions and reverse camera is part of safety requirement.
Very well made video great job mate.. I am trying to transition into this industry any pointers pls
Make sure you're fit. This job is sedentary but also physical at the same time. Choose your vehicle wisely according to your height. You hop on and off alot and if your vehicle is too high, your knee and ankle will pay the price after a while.
@@ThatIndoGuy thanks mate your are kind to give prompt response, as I am new for this industry so seeking some more info.. what would be best 2 tonne van you reckon to go for pls
@@hsingh8458 not sure because mine is a 1 tonner. I'd probably go with Sprinter.
@@ThatIndoGuy much appreciated
you could show aramex a thing or two how do there job propley !
Hi mate.. Excellent job.
Jow many parcel you can delivery a day?
Every day and every run is different
Wow nice making video
Nice mate. I live near Sydney. How do you apply for a Courier job at Toll??
Thanks. You can check on their website. www.tollgroup.com/business-services/recruitment-labour-hire/looking-work
🔥
How many parcels do you have to typically fulfill? How do you know how to find each parcel efficiently
Number of parcels varies everyday.. around 120 to 150 typically. Everyone works differently, for me, after collecting all my parcels, I plan my day's route then arrange the parcels accordingly.
@@ThatIndoGuy Is their a system which puts in the most effiecent parcel route or do you have to find that out yourself?
@@bruvybruv8477 not really.. once you're familiar with your delivery area, you kinda know most of the street names so you can arrange the parcels accordingly. Otherwise, google maps?
Nice video, I know how you feel at the end of the day, mate you should be a trainer, you do such a great job
Thanks mate 🙂

If you got sick or unable to drive how can you manage that day run David ?
Call the ops supervisor on duty and they will organise a driver to do your run.
@That Indo Guy, I have a 1 Ton Hiace and I want to join Toll as a sub contractor. Read their website and I can’t find any links on how to sign up. Will appreciate any help on how I can go about it bro. Great video btw

Is this your own vehicle or company's ?? If yours then how much one has to spend to get this job??
I'm a SubContractor so I have to provide my own vehicle with at least 1ton capacity. You'll also need to have insurance cover for your goods in transit, vehicle insurance and public liabilty.
Bro how did u get the camera in the property at that first residence if you couldn’t get in cause no one was home hahhahaha that was tricky
How many delivery you do in a single day and how much per parcel they pay ?
Number of deliveries really depends on your assigned area. Rate wise, depends on your contract. Some are paid per parcel, some by the hour.
@@ThatIndoGuy Hi David, i just subscribed to your channel. Just wonder what would be the average take home pay for being a courier delivery man like you?
Great video mate.
I've had none to very little experience in doing deliveries, but it's something I've always wanted to do.
Just wondering on the requirements needed to become a driver, and if there's any on the job training for newcomers??
Lastly, can you choose to work longer hours/weekends to make those extra $$??
Thanks again
Hi.. thanks for watching. Yes you will be trained, usually shadowing one of the drivers for a few days. As for choosing hours, you don't get to choose. Sometimes when there are backlog of parcels, you will be offered to work on the weekend.
@@ThatIndoGuy thank you for your reply sir.
@@ThatIndoGuy and excuse the amount of questions, but do you get paid by the hour or by the parcel?

How much work experience does one need to join TOLL? What was your previous work experience?
Previous experience is not essential, as long as you have a valid driver's license. I was in hospitality industry before TOLL.
@@ThatIndoGuy thanks for the info. Would you go for MR/HR license next for trucking?

My dream job
Bro looks busy. How many stops per day?
Everyday is different.. also depends on special occassions like xmas etc
sorry my english is not very good, i have sent 1 parcel to australia, it has been delivered successfully but the recipient said not received. But the signatures have their names, so is there anyone else who can sign them for them? and wrongly sent like that, can the parcel be found again? Thank you
You need to contact the logistic company that delivered your parcel. If your parcel has 'signature required' label, the courier would at least get the recipient's name. If the parcel has 'authority to leave' then the courier has to take a photo of where they left the parcel.
@@ThatIndoGuy thank you for your answer, my customer said they have not receive the parcel but the recipient's name is correct, so are they cheating on me?
Bro how much a normal guy can earn in 1 month and how many hrs?
how much is your sallary as a courier?
Looks enjoyable how to join TOLL from India
Semangat ko
should deliver my parcel it's taking forever honesty
Once you work in these places and see what happens on the inside, you understand why your parcel is late sometimes :)
Hi David, apa memungkin klau melamar sebagai driver di TOLL dari Indo ?
Hi.. sepertinya ngga bisa karena perlu visa buat kerja. Dan juga harus SIM lokal.
Hi David how can I apply for this job?I love driving. I’m ur subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing. Toll usually advertise job vacancies on their website. Keep an eye out. Good luck.

hey bro how you get this job ?
Gimana caranya bang, aku juga pengen jadi driver di Aussie
Never saw the part where it arrives at facilities
Sorry, it's because I don't have clearance to go to the air site. So I can't show that part unfortunatelly. Also, my shift does not start early enough to show when the cage arrives at the depot.
Helo Sir. Its available for me to work ? Fyi im from Malaysia . Thanks
If there's a vacancy, anyone with a valid working visa can apply 😊
Used to be a dockhand at toll hbt, monotonous it was.
Totay understand how you feel. I also watch the roller in the morning as part of my job, before I can start packing the van.
How can I apply for this job I am from kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
What are the working hours of the courier in Australia?
Every company is different. But usually 9-12 hours.
@@ThatIndoGuy That's the same as China, I thought Europe and the United States have an 8-hour working system, thank you for your reply
Imagine camera captures guy running out of his house last second to grab his package and david drives off lol , naughty boy david

What insurance company do you use?
I use a broker called David J. Still for public liability and marine insurance
@@ThatIndoGuy isin't there cheaper ones available? Do you know what they are called?

Hi hi .. salam kenal Mas
Do you need your own vehicle to be a courier?
Yes if you're a subby.
If the door is close. And nobody in home. How can you video inside. Into garden.
The clip part was made on the weekend at my relative's house.
Took me a year to make this video.
Editing only on the weekend.
Hope you enjoy it 😊
No one has made a FedEx video in Australia yet ????? All American 🇺🇸. One got 1.7m views 🤯$$$
How much do you roughly earn a week
Depends on how many hours you work. Toll pays hourly but that may change in the near future.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Why do your couriers never bother even attempting delivery, and always force you to go pick it up at a depot? There’s a reason Toll has a bad reputation and widespread low reviews.
I think some of the drivers are very bad for knocking on door and wait, some are not, but I think better get the package send to your work place? If not maybe find a safe place for courier can leave the package
The ones getting paid per parcel probably do a rush job to earn money faster.
Other times, you need to look at your situation from the outside.
Does your doorbell work? Do you have locked gates, or exposed areas where there is no suitable place to leave etc
Did you specify to leave, or does your seller require signature
Suo
