So about that logo

I was watching murder of couriers and saw multiple times (and even a neck tattoo!) that absolutely amazing logo. Can’t find much about on google so, here i am wanting to learning more about it.

Future of Messengering

Hey folks, i’m 22, student. To cut it short, riding bikes is all I wanna do and I want a messenger job but afraid it won’t pay the bills. Especially in the long term.

How do you see the industry in the following years? Will it be reliable still?

Thank you

Someone posted a CL ad for messenger work and I replied. This was their breakdown of the terms. Paying to work sounds like a scam. What do you all think?

How to find a courier job?

hey guys,

I've worked for an app before many years ago. Now I'm looking for a "real" courier job. Do you have any advice on where and how to look for this?
Also, what language level would you say it's necessary to handle this job? Cuz I'll be doing this in my third language.

I'm based in Europe, Switzerland to be more specific.

London messengers

Are there still any London-based bike messenger companies? Seems like all I see are the app-based ones.

Trying to deliver on the Apps to no avail.

Hey folks.

So I posted a few weeks ago about getting into mess work, starting with the apps. I’ve gone online a few times since and today was the first (and lone) time I’ve actually got a delivery.

It was easy but not nearly enough. Here in Montreal, the apps outside of Uber aren’t even taking new couriers, and while Uber does let me go online, it seems like there are just way too many couriers for the demand.

I was wondering what tips you guys have for finding more work, or gaming Uber/the apps to get more work from them? Recommended strats like location, times or days?

Thanks for any ideas.

?

How much does riding for jimmy John’s suck compared to the apps? Thinking about changing it up. Do you have to clean bathrooms and make sandwiches and shit if it’s slow?

To those who deliver food. How do you handle drinks? What’s the best option for securing them so they don’t spill all over me?

Made the plunge. First time. Taking any and all advice.

Going to start with apps cuz I don’t know anybody who delivers. Could use tips on how to move drinks/soups/other edge cases. I keep hearing about moving paper. Is that newspaper? I’m In the Montreal area.
