A no-fuss, no-fluff guide
Sick of all that parcel Tetris in the back of your van? Clocking long hours, chasing impossible delivery targets and still wondering where all your money went — not to mention all those unpaid, empty return journeys?
There’s a better way to work as a delivery driver — one that gives you more freedom, control and, importantly, less shouting at your sat nav. This is your step-by-step guide to switching from old-school courier jobs to YOVOY.
Let’s go.
Step 1: Understand what YOVOY actually is
YOVOY is a platform built for people who deliver things — but with fewer rules and more options. Instead of being locked into unprofitable routes, tight deadlines or sorting depot chaos, you choose the jobs you want. You see all the info upfront (parcel size, destination, sender price), then decide if it works for you. That’s it: a platform designed to give commercial drivers full control over how and when they work.
No managers breathing down your neck. No mystery parcels. Just more control over your delivery work.
Step 2: Compare the schedule options
Traditional courier job:
- Start at 6am
→ Early starts are non-negotiable, often hours before most people are even awake.
- Load van with hundreds of variable parcels (on your time)
→ You’re responsible for a full day’s worth of deliveries, regardless of complexity or distance.
- Drive across 5 postcodes
→ Routes can be unpredictable and sprawling, especially during peak times or in rural areas.
- Repeat until dark
→ Long hours and minimal breaks are the norm — and finishing early rarely means going home early.
YOVOY schedule:
- Open app
→ Check available jobs using the YOVOY app whenever it suits you.
- Apply for the jobs that fit your day
→ Accept the jobs you want.
- Deliver a manageable number of jobs accept a potential return load to earn money on the way home.
→ Often fewer deliveries per shift — and the freedom to choose the ones that suit you best.
Step 3: Think about the money
Let’s be honest. You’re not doing this for the cardio.
With YOVOY, there’s no mystery pay. You either accept a job at the sender’s rate or bid your own. You know your cut before you commit and you’re paid directly. It’s transparent, fast and designed to keep your cash flow healthy.
Oh, and the £10.99 monthly membership fee is offset by high-earning opportunities and low platform commissions of just 5%.
Step 4: Sign up (It’s quick)
The onboarding process is simple. Just:
- Download the app and subscribe
- Add your documents (driver’s licence, insurance, etc.)
- Set your availability and delivery preferences
- Start browsing jobs.
After being verified by YOVOY’s onboarding team, you’ll get matched with deliveries that suit your vehicle and area. Then you’re good to go.
Step 5: Start small (then ramp up)
You don’t need to quit your current courier job overnight. YOVOY drivers can start part-time — a few jobs a week, evenings or weekends — to test the waters. Once they realise how much easier it is (and how much nicer senders are when you’re not 80 drops deep), they switch fully.
Delivery driver life, upgraded
Traditional courier work is built around volume — stack high, run fast, repeat. Or around geographic routes, delivering multiple full van loads for multi-drops within a limited local area – so they can deliver, deliver, deliver, deliver… then return, reload, repeat…
That model works… until it doesn’t. YOVOY puts delivery drivers back in control: of time, routes, pricing and how they actually work.
So if you’re ready to move on from depot drama and unachievable targets, now’s the time to try something better.
