PROGRESS COURIERS

Found this online (Brisbane based) had a quick phone interview, very little detail given.  Was told they needed me to start ASAP.  Had to download their app to log on each day, charged me $40.00 per mth for this. If you didn't message "Good Morning" each day then you got no work. One job I traveled over 60kms and was paid $29.54 (if that's the 65% of fee then they don't charge much for the delivery).  Went on another drop 25km and earned the princely sum of $9.09.  They take out Software Licensing and Insurance, total charges $41.09 cents per fortnight.  For a total of 2 weeks I was paid $672.49.  Have to have an ABN so once you pay for fuel, they give you a 5% fuel levy, and look at tax then earning less than nothing.  They advertise you can earn $3600.00 per week, only if you have a truck but that's not mentioned in the add.  The staff were friendly but if you needed to ask a question then no one ever called back.  Worst place I have ever dealt with, sign up at your own risk.  Tried hard for the 5 weeks as I don't shy away from hard work, sent a text after every job to see if I could get another load but little response.

Everything this company is involved with is dodgy. Everything. The owner uses this company as a front for a dodgy martial arts scam and illegal fireworks. 
There is a100% turn over of drivers every three months; many of whom go broke.
Never ever ever buy a vehicle from a courier company but this one in particular will screw you to the ground then repossess the vehicle just as they have done to many that have had had ownership of this vehicle. It’s one of the many ways they scam money from those just looking to do an honest job.
They have been cautioned about their advertising technique so many times...the massive over-inflation of earnings is actually criminal as is the massive amount they charge you for uniforms and radio installation. Think about it..... if they had faith in themselves wouldn’t they provide uniforms and claim the tax dodge?
I strongly urge everyone to contact the Transport Workers Union before dealing with this scum.

Hooo-boy. Where to start.

I'll preface this by emphasising how much I put on the line getting my van on the road. I'll just run you through my Saturday. Gave up pretty much the entire day.  Dispatch put a call out on Friday looking for peeps with utes and vans to make some money on a weekend. I haven't been flying the Progress banner long, but I thought I'd prove myself by giving up my Saturday. With my son. One job. Wow. I spent the rest of my day in the city sitting in my van. I disappointed my son, AND I made bugger-all money while doing it. How's that for multi-tasking? Not keen to return peoples' phone-calls either.

A typical day at work you might have jobs you might not. I didn't learn anything besides I have no trust for management as they will take advantage of you and lie to you. Nothing enjoyable at this job.

I had a very hard time when I worked for progress.
I had to pay for my own petrol so I could drive around all day. I had no money behind me and I had to borrow money off of my parents for the petrol. in total I spent about 500 on petrol in less than a week and I never got paid. unfortunately because of that reason I had to quit.

I worked here for 2 months barely got anywork only got 175-200$ a fortnight the boss jesse never answers his phone girls in the office are super rude when i quit i was still waiting for 4 weeks paid so they just paid me 500$ to go away they never gave me a tax invoice and ignored all my phone calls to try to get one

I will suggest no one  to work on hatchback courier delivery job it's my bad experience. I spent lot of money for fuel they after three weeks of work that I have no money for payment. I think it is a most worst experience after starting my professional career.

I enjoy my job at Progress Couriers as everyone within the team is very positive and so easy to work with. As we are all only employed as contractors job security is non existent and we do not receive any sick/annual leave etc.

below award  weekly, pay poor conditions, repetitive overall employer treated employees poorly. it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter inside the factory not great working conditions don't know why I stayed there so long I guess because a job is a job

Grossly overstated pay (real earnings were 25% of claimed weekly amount) It's actually worse than being on newstart allowance. 

Condescending call centre staff and very difficult to get correspondence from them.
