Hi My name is Chris Hartley and I'm from Yorkshire
in the UK, I have a loving partner Shell and 3 brilliant children
Dylan(6) Mollie (2) and baby Thomas. I Have worked in construction
since 2000 and was a Ground Worker up until..
In March 2005 I decided to drop shovels and delve
into the world of freelance couriering. I was planning it all out
while I was working by the way and did some research on the internet.
I found a site offering an ebook on How To Become
a Freelance Courier I think it was about £50 Great I thought so
I bought it straight away, and it was right pages and pages on what
to do to become a freelance courier. It went on and give you examples
of letters to send to other couriers, which by the way I receive
at least once a month in the exact same text. This is the reason
why I don't provide one.
I did all the stuff it said and got some reply's
from couriers for work and was great I was doing a couple of trips
to London a week and a few more local ones to keep me going but
payments started to drop and had not been paid for at least 9 months
so be warned nag nag and nag some more.
In the mean time I decided to launch my own site
promoting my services KDC Couriers.com brill work should come flowing
in after all this is the brilliant world of the internet. How wrong
could I have been their was more to it than that.
I also decided to sign up for an exchange service
for couriers, I cant mention their name because they have already
threatened to sue me but lets say it has the words courier and exchange
in their title. Great I pay a sign up fee then a recurring monthly
and get jobs. It all worked great I have nothing against their services
but I didn't earn enough from it to get back what i'd paid them
for the privilege.
The services probably benefit people more if they
are a bigger company with a few vehicles, not for a new start up
with a Peugeot 306.
Any way back to the web site thing. I used the
providers own Build a Web site program which was also great until
I realized I couldn't do many things with it. So I decided to learn
how to build them myself from scratch.
Well with my new knowledge of HTML and past experiences
with ebooks and exchanges I came to realize that these services
could be available for free so here it is a free exchange and services
for couriers.
So Good luck in your adventure.
