The point was actually that there’s no shortage of fast food delivery riders.As opposed to truck drivers and obviously not many if any of those riders seeming to have any ambition to drive a truck.Who said anything about the money.
Also bearing in mind that the topic in question was about a multi drop job being described as a trunking job.For the obvious reason that they could find a mug who was even interested in turning up for work unless they lied about the job.
Then according to cassete head it’s my fault because the OP walked away from the job on arrival.
No way on this planet do burger delivery drivers earn nearly a grand a week…
BS
Lol
If the pay was that good, the people making the burgers would deliver it themselves!!
Every uber/just eat driver i see is a scruffy sod driving a pile of junk. They must be seriously squirelling away that grand a week and not spending it on clothes or cars…

Nope, wrong again. I never once said it’s your fault the OP walked away from the job. I even agreed with the OP that what happened was wrong and should not be happening.
Where you are getting confused is the part where I said you are 100% unemployable because of your attitude and that no employer would touch you with a bargepole - now I did definitely say that!

What part of London have you been doing it in?
the nodding donkey:
I have it on good authority that burger delivery drivers are laughing at truck drivers, because they are on better terms and conditions than truck drivers.I will certainly not be tipping the delivery of my take away from now on…
Whys there all kinds of court cases, all over Europe, about non-payment and slave type wages? Massive case in Italy last year, regarding African immigrants.

Why would you supposedly ‘agree’ with the OP on that subject but then say that I’m supposedly unemployable for agreeing with him.
Why have you made it out to be an issue of money when no one mentioned money regarding the subject.He didn’t say ok he’ll do the job if they increased the rate.
The truth is that it was a typical example of exactly what I said.Not enough drivers want to work in the distribution sector so the employers resort to silly tactics and get the predictable result.
Ironically with hindsight I should have done the same thing in similar circumstances but I didn’t.Unemployable indeed.
£180 per shift - or 18 hours @ £10ph - you even get paid for your meal breaks, assuming you even take them with no tacho required, and constantly on the move delivering grub to ungrateful “can’t-boil-an-egg” type Sloane Rangers in particular… 
…I’d be interested to find out how much these food dispatch riders get paid in TIPS…

Don’t forget you’ve got that pesky ULEZ overhead, since ordinary people with crappy lives that’d need this kind of job - won’t have the 15 plate vehicle to deliver it in, and are thus subject to the daily charge as an unmaskable overhead…
I’m amazed frankly, why London isn’t starting to starve already?

At least no one is going to ‘ask’ them to work in the fast food outlet stockroom or do multi drop deliveries.
Let alone advertise the job as class 1 trunking .
Which probably explains why there is no burger delivery moped rider ‘shortage’ and none of them seem to want to drive a truck.

Uber meal delivery isn’t multi-drop?

Sorry it’s all cold but you were the last on my long list of deliveries.Put in the microwave it will be fine.
I’m sure it’s one delivery then back to McDonalds/KFC etc for the next job.
There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of moped riders and none of them seem to have any interest in driving a truck for probably more money regardless.Just like all those who obviously prefer delivering cars around the country and the fast food firms don’t need to lie about the work to create interest, which is the point.
I seem to remember you yourself saying that the decreasing amounts of interesting distance work is what’s reducing the attraction of the job for new entrants.
My guess is that distance car driving work is now rightly seen as a more attractive job than driving a truck ( unfortunately for me ) and might as well do fast food deliveries than drive a Hiab or scaffold wagon or retail distribution and/or be seen and employed as a ‘logistics warehouse/driver operative’.

Do keep up at the back pettle, I never said you are unemployable for agreeing with the OP, I just said you are unemployable because of your attitude. I would also throw laziness into that as well - a point I haven’t yet made before you go frantically searching through my previous posts. 
I also never brought “money” into any point I made.

I consider myself to be a pretty decent cook, yet I still get food delivered when I can’t be arsed to make anything. And I haven’t tipped a delivery driver in years, just pay for the food online when ordering it and wait for it to turn up

Actually, a friend of my son does deliveroo deliveries on his push bike. As far as I understand the rates are actually “dynamic” in that they are posted on an app and you can take a job or not. If there are not many riders about, the meal is from a higher priced restaurant and they are desperate to get it delivered, the offered price goes up. Don’t know how much he makes but it sustains a descent lifestyle for himeslf with other part time jobs he has, and he is fit as a fiddle too. (This is not London, but Cheshire).
Not saying the OP is right or wrong but there is a lot more to all these things than first meets the eye.
2 days driving the truck, 2 days on the deliveroo bike (not in London or any other big city) might be a healthy compromise

I guess it isn’t - if you are delivering that Chinese Takeaway to Buckingham Palace, the only client customer on your round…
