DPD Driver Pay UK (2026)
DPD owner-drivers are paid per stop delivered, typically £1.00–1.80 per parcel. On a full urban round with 80–120 stops, this delivers daily earnings of £90–200 before expenses.
Per-Stop Rates
Standard stop rates are £1.00–1.80 depending on parcel type and your contract tier. Multi-parcel deliveries (Amazon fulfilment, etc.) may have different rates. Experienced drivers negotiating directly with a depot can sometimes secure better per-stop rates.
