What does a courier do? They pick up and deliver packages, documents, even pets, for businesses and individuals.  This service is always in demand, even in smaller towns, as there is always someone who needs a package or document delivered today. Independent local couriers can provide the kind of services that are in steady demand but impossible to get from the large delivery services like UPS or FEDEX. 

The list of potential customers is almost endless. Architects, engineers, contractors, printers, doctors and medical labs, grocers, pharmacies, caterers, flower shops, accountants, attorneys, busy individuals who don't have time to run errands and homebound individuals such as seniors and those recovering from an accident or illness.

And contrary to what you might think, a recession can be a great time to start a courier service. Here's why: When the economy slows, workers are laid off and companies out-source more tasks to keep costs down. As a result, couriers are often even busier than in boom times. 

A courier service is the perfect "shoestring startup", as it requires very little money to start, no formal training or education, just the ability to communicate clearly with customers. Your new courier business can be home-based, where there is no additional rent or utility costs to pay. 

How Much Can I Make With a Courier Service?

The national average rate for courier services using a "light" vehicle, such as a car, pickup truck or minivan is around $36 per hour. Working 8 hours a day, that's $1440 per week, or $72,000 yearly. Mileage charges and service surcharges can easily add 10-20 percent to that.
