courier work wanted in south west

Ihave never done courier work before, and dont have a clue how to quote competitively.&nbsp; I have a Fiat Ducato long wheel base van, standing idle, it really needs to be earning money, its fully insured for hire or reward, how do i go about it? i dont have a lot of spare money to lay out, need to earn some first. HELP.<br>

<p>Hi [name]!<br>If you've got a newish van you can enquire about self employed drivers at [business] and [business], see the forum [link] Explore other threads like fuel cards [link] [business] will give you fuel for the month, invoice end of the month, and you then pay it 2 weeks later.</p><p>I have no other idea about the south west, looks too quiet for sameday drivers.</p><p>Wish you all the best!<br>[name]</p>

You need to ring around your local courier companies, better still pop in and have a chat.<div>You need to at least get some biz cards ([business] are cheap) and some flyers, work out your mileage rate and get out there making a note of what businesses you have posted your flyers to, then follow up with a phone call.</div><div>It can take up to 7 hits to get someone to sign up with you, sometimes more, and most of all you need a thick skin.</div><div>Exchange sites can help even if its only by using their forums for advice</div><div>It's not easy out there but there is work if you look for it and are prepared to be flexible</div>

There are at least 20 courier companies in the Plymouth area alone so for some to say no sameday work in the south west???!!!...lol<div>Some people don't know wot they're talkin about but you'll discover that yourself i'm sure.</div><div>Seriously though, there is an awful lot of free advice out there</div>
