Delivery driver
Drive vans and cars to deliver goods to customers.
You need the right licence class
Driving a vehicle without the right licence class is an offence and can void insurance. Check the class you need with your state's transport authority.
What you do
You work out where goods are going and the best delivery route. You help load the vehicle so goods are secure and easy to unload, and you check the loading papers. You unload at each stop and get proof of delivery. You report when the vehicle needs maintenance, and you may take payments.
