Direct Couriers

What is the best part of working at the company?
My experience with Direct Couriers was fantastic. Leadership was great, people I worked with great. They hired you to do a job, gave you the tools, gave direction, and then let you execute.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
i could've handled more in my role, but its mainly the learning curve you go through to get into the groove of the business. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I rated it highly. You couldn't tell who the managers were as they were fun, good banter, relaxed but professional.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Direct Cold - always started with ensuring the team has clocked on and been allocated their jobs, then I'd go through billing / invoicing of customers for the previous day, and then bounce and receive inbound and outbound enquiries. Finishing the day off is checking inbound flights for the next day, and pre allocating and advising the drivers of their upcoming workload.

This companies succes is highly dependant on naive subcontractor courier drivers ,who are told great things by the fleet manager, but in reality it will be the worst business decision u will ever make.Thats why there is always a high driver job turnover. In the beginning they will entice you with good paying jobs ,but after about 2 weeks you will be kept very busy with low paying jobs driving big kilometres per day or sent off to do hourly hire runs, expected to clear a busy set run at other transport companies for very low pay. They are also known for ripping drivers off ,for example they will give u standard job which was really an express job that pays more, but its given to u at a standard rate so u get less and they make more commission. Avoid this company at all cost.

Well, i worked with Direct Couriers nearly 1 1/2, years, and i have learned different things during my job e.g how to lodge freight at airport, similarly, what types of businesses are in SA and what they are doing, how to carry freight during transit, etc. Well overall , it was a very Good experience except few things which was related to management which result in ending my contract with them and it was shocking. REASON: As i delivered the same type of freight (in same condition) from same pickup location and dropped to same customer as 1-day before and by chance next day one of the job was the same type and i did the same thing but i don't know wat happened and result was termination of my contract. STILL THINKING WHAT HAPPENED?????????

Direct Couriers is  a company that fails to take Road safety seriously. Failed to check the  Front Tires  which were illegal at the time I commended working for them in the Truck of a friend on December 5 . Having rented a Ute from  9 October to 1 December due to being unable to obtain a loan I had to drive with  illegal front Tires due to my weekly commitments . 
Due to the  illegal  front tires I  ran into a stopped car on the Gateway Motorway  and have not worked since February 22.  All Purpose Transport took Road safety seriously and checked the Roadworthiness of its fleet  on a regular basis. 
If  Direct Couriers had done the same the front Truck tires would  have been replaced by no later than the 8 December 2017

It was abit challenging at the start especially when dealing with deliveries in order dispatchers are so rude to the drivers when they make mistakes with deliveries the pay isnt great unless you are working in a enviroment like ch2 or arundel delivering car parts but even they are strict and rude to drivers where you are getting paid hourly rate rather than per delivery rate and you get no breaks to stop and get fresh air or even have your lunch 

They trap you with sweet talks,once you trapped you can't do any thing, they will offer you minimum wages guarantee which you think 38 hrs ,that's the big trap ,50 hrs is minimum for them ,still you will find missing payments, every week you have to ring them about missing payments, eventually you will get tired and leave, they will lure new subcontractor and company keep going 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Don’t work there, unfriendly environment, minimum guarantee is a scam they won’t give it to you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The whole job will bring you stress

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, managers suck & customers suck too

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving, stressing, hating life

The only way to succeed in this company is to brown nose. Most of the money is made by 10% of the fleet. Most drivers are not happy. Management is! Long days ,little money for most ,barely minimum wage. They don’t have your back and they let you know that you are very replaceable.

This was a great place for hard working subbies. Not now though. They treat you like a number and offer no support.  You'll never no what a job pays. Avoid. take your vehicle somewhere else 

Mandates trial stage cov19 injections which is the only downside at present. Days can be very hectic at times - one has to be able to manage schedule and be physically fit.
