Jordan's Work Experience

Jordan’s Work Experience

I’ve worked at the New Zealand Couriers during School Holidays, it’s located on 33 Portsmouth Drive, Dunedin. My dad, Peter, is an Independent Contractor on the Dunedin to Oamaru run.

My favourite person is Vaughn. He is a good man who can help me load the crates with the right postcodes.

I can load the parcels in the crates to sort them out with postcodes.

The postcodes are Invercargill (IVC), Christchurch (CHC), Queenstown (ZQN), Central Otago (CNO), South Island Mixed, Wellington (WLG), North Island Mixed, Auckland (AKL), Hamilton (HLZ), Gore (GOR), New Plymouth (NPL) and Hinuera (HIN).

Safety list is High-Visibility Vests (I bought it from The Warehouse in South Dunedin), Work Boots and Work Socks. Our work boots have steel caps to protect my toes in case they get squished!

Forklifts are expensive, they lift the crates onto the truck.

The fuels in forklifts are Diesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (L.P.G.). I really dislike Forklifts because they are too dangerous.

Smoko Room it has got tables and chairs for take a break for 10 minutes with the other men.

I really like loading the parcels, better than the schools, no bells.

When I’m tired, I go home.

It’s a busy day.

I might get paid when I can do the job really well.
