What are the pros and cons of being a FEMALE delivery driver? And why are all there no female drivers??

Question

I've never seen a woman delivery driver.. Why is that? I am a female, 20 years ago, and am considering this for a part time job for extra money. What are the pros and cons?

Answer 1

Pure coincidence.  A good half of all the delivery drivers I've ever seen have been female.  And the Domino's up the street from me has 70% female employees, drivers included.

Answer 2

-good tips if you are cute

-easier target for rape than a man

Answer 3

Carrying packages up to 40 lbs is a likely place to start with why only about 5-10 are female , pros are good money  cons  back breaking tiring work

Answer 4

It depends.

If you're quick with delivery and have a really good personality, you might find yourself delivering to the same addresses regularly on your shifts with a nice tip waiting for you.

If you suck though, you'll still make deliveries, but the extra money won't be for c**p, people are ruder because they expect women to be more 'responsible' with jobs like this, and some people can get out of line with sexual suggestion.

Answer 5

i would worry that someone might try to rob me -

you'd have to be prepared to go into say an apartment building or dark hall way to deliver stuff (assuming you mean you want to deliver food) not like a courier or going to offices

people may call when they are drunk & then refuse to pay - just grab the food & slam the door in your face if they think you couldn't fight back

lots of idiots out there - so be careful what ever you do

Answer 6

idk... people might be like - why is this woman at my door? Oh wait! she's delivering my pizza! - or something.  But otherwise I'm sure it's a decent job, so I wouldn't not do it just because you're a woman.

Answer 7

one it does pay nothing, they want you

to use your car end up

costly repairs guy do it of couple weeks

in between jobs, most of the time the owner

does or he's kids do it, go for a part time

retail store job a min. wage is 7.75

that has know out of the pocket expenses

Answer 8

Probably just for safety reasons. A lot of women (me included!) would be scared of getting raped and/or mugged and might have no way to defend themselves. They don't know who is going to be at the door when they are opening it, it's probably a lot of times for safety reasons!

Answer 9

I dont want to be sexist or anything but maybe because most women would be scared or too busy getting their nails done. They could be scared of getting raped, idk. If you want something, you have to do it to get it. If you wanna be a delivery driver do it. Its your one and only life, enjoy it!!!!

Answer 10

You have to deliver to all types of destinations... some are not safe.  YOu also have to deliver to all types of people... and not all of them are nice.  You would have to be ready to deal with dark alley- ways and doped up people, and also folks that are just plain old MEAN.  It could be a dongerous job.
