The world has changed significantly over the past 12 months during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Whole industries have shifted and it’s caused a lot of changes in the way many people work. Many of those unfortunate enough to have lost the jobs they had before 2020 may now be looking at courier work. But what are the best reasons to be
Being a self-employed courier means one thing – you’re always looking for where your next job is coming from. If you work hard enough and have a bit of luck, you’ll get some regular customers. But for the vast majority, delivery work apps are the way to top up your earnings. The events of 2020 have hit everyone hard and
We created Couriers TV to do something to help those in the transport industry, and those looking to be a part of it, get the right information.

The Coronavirus, and more specifically the UK lockdown that was put in place to slow the spread of the virus, has caused huge upheaval and seen thousands of people lose their jobs or their businesses collapse because of the restrictions and loss of trade.

We’ve all surely heard about the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK and around the world. Whilst it does pose a risk to some, for many people it may not be as much of an issue.

I often get asked by people looking to become a courier ‘When is the best time to start out?‘. They usually want to know how much work is available at any given moment. I’m not a psychic and I can’t perfectly predict what’s going to happen, but there are seasonal trends. Courier work, and logistics in general, works around the
When I started out as a courier I was as green as it gets. I knew virtually nothing. I came from a background of print and web design. The main reason I moved to transport was because I had made a website for a friend and he wasn’t bothering to use it, so I did. Plus, I’d had enough of
Ok so there’s nothing new in using the phrase “New Year, New ….”, but I couldn’t think of a better title for this short post just to update people on where things are at currently. It’s 2019. Couriers TV has been in the works for just over 2 years now. It’s taken longer than expected to progress because I have
This is just a quick post to let visitors know about the progress being made and new things happening with Couriers TV up to March 2018.

To me it’s just a blog post title, one that signals the very beginning of what I hope will eventually become something worthwhile. I’ve always tried my best in life, no matter what it
