A confidential look at the professional crew courier
Many articles on the Virtual Dispatch take into account the solo courier experience. Furthermore, the solo courier, is a courier that makes delivery completions using an app. Or a combination of apps. The solo courier doesn’t have a home base to check in with. The app is considered the home base per se. Additionally the tax situation, at the end of the year, is also different for the solo courier. Save those receipts always.
There are many differences between the crew courier and the solo courier. Even though they both have the same job duties. The obvious from the start, is the crew courier’s employment status. In contrast, the solo courier works each delivery as a contract. The advantage for the crew courier, is a static delivery zone, and a dedicated customer base. Additionally, there is the hourly pay, and the convenience of having a home base. Furthermore, the home base helps with problem deliveries.
