7.30 AM

Wake up at about 7:00am shower, and get ready for the day. Jump in the car put on the tunes and make my way into the Transport office (Transport is my current rotation). Traffic luckily isn't too bad today, so it's smooth sailing into the office.

8.00 AM

I arrive at the office. Say good morning to the transport team. Time to get stuck into a day of work. I start the day by answering a few emails, I also check my calendar to see what I have got on today.

10.00 AM

Time for a meeting on an exciting new project I am working on. In this meeting, we are looking at our Transport network. DHL has a lot of projects going on at the moment and grads have plenty of opportunities to help out. In this meeting, I share some of the work I have completed and learn about the other developments my colleagues have made.

12.30 PM

Lunchtime for a very well deserved pie

1.00 PM

This afternoon I will be shadowing one of our drivers to get an idea of how our day to day transport operations take place. The truck is loaded, paperwork printed off and we head out. We will be driving out west to deliver products to a few different customers.

2.00 PM

We arrive at our first drop-off, and the pallets are unloaded. The driver teaches me how to use the handheld device to confirm the delivery. Onto the next one. 

4:30 PM

Back in the transport hub, home time
