I keep hearing online that it can be hard to make it as a courier, but then I got speaking to one that was doing very well. Clearing over a grand a week, up to about £1,500. He was doing the same 8 hours as I was (He got £240 for that vs £90 for me as I was direct employed) but would do a couple of jobs in the morning before that contract started and sometimes one or two after. Same as the taxi drivers, they don’t want to do HGV driving because “tacho”.
