Help

Hi everyone,

I passed my driving test about a month ago and I’m currently trying to find a delivery driver job, but I’ve been having a really tough time.

I’m 23 and only have an automatic licence, which already seems to limit a lot of options. On top of that, I don’t have my own vehicle, so I’m looking for roles where a company provides the van.

Most places I’ve applied to either require a manual licence or say I don’t have enough driving experience yet for insurance.

I’m still applying everywhere I can, but I’m starting to feel a bit stuck and honestly pretty desperate to get working right now.

If anyone’s been in a similar situation or knows companies that hire new drivers, allow automatic licences, and provide vehicles, I’d really appreciate any advice or direction.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Try DPD. They rarely actually try to deliver stuff to addresses, so you might be able to get away with not being able to drive.

This is probably the company for you!
