I did some security cover the other week at a ups depot near me. See if there's one near you. Apparently they do quite well. Just an idea anyway :)

DON'T GO TO PIZZA HUT!!!!! :nono: (Or that type of establishment!) They treat you like rubbish and make you pay for the pizza if you are a minute over the delivery time (so that the customer gets it for free) :Yikes:

best way to get free HGV training, is to join the TA - that's probably a bit drastic, though :D

I quite often see ads in our local paper for people to do the deliveries & collections for catalogues - anything similar up your way? (They usually want you to store stuff for them, though).

What about driving a taxi :shrug: if you know someone with a cab or two and they want some relief / stand-ins, might be an idea ????

I used to delivery yellow pages and thompson locals... combined with a few leaflet drops for other people in the same area i could make £100 for a days work :)

Try White Arrow or Parcle Net they are the big 2 in home delivery. A mate of mine does it and he does quite well, he makes around £200 per week for 4 hours work a day.
