    Love your positivity.
    As a young family man, you being positive will go a long way.
    I am at the other end of the age scale compared to you.
    I am semi retired and i have been working for a regular private client for over 25 years. I was cards in for 20 years and then age related illness kicked in.
    Now that i am self employed I wish that I had done it years ago.
    Anyway, i will you success, and i eill follow your journey with interest.
    Just for info...I have never used cx. I rely on my 1 very regular customer, and believe it or not, delivering food as and when I feel like it lol
    All the best

    Saw FFletchers and Dave Anvil’s latest posts on here and it’s the same theme re. the CX not being accountable when it comes to low bidding and customer service. They need to get a grip on things. The logistic sector as a whole is near breakpoint

    Question to anybody: If you just want to earn a little money on the side ie working 1-2 days a week, can you use a vehicle such as an SUV type - what i'm asking is whether there are courier roles for a regular semi-retired person with a family vehicle?

    • @BrentFord93
      @BrentFord93  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would struggle to answer this
      Never been in this situation
      I would personally say that Uber eats or Amazon flex maybe at a push is the best options
      Unless others have options
      CX you would struggle to get work for sure in a car

    Expect negative comments about the cx . There’s a lot of drivers who have been on there a long time and have seen the decline with the amount of jobs to the amount of drivers .
    I use courier software called Journease .
    It’s nice to see your excitement and good luck with finding your own customers as that’s the key .

      I’m in a good place
      Very fortunate I have Sheffield
      I’m currently running around 50% my money back so far so good
      It’s really good pretty straight forward
      Yeah getting my own customers what to offer and how to offer is the key
      Thank you for the suggestion is that like CX or something totally different?
      CX gets a bad rep at the min but it’s a platform not a work
      It’s only empty because the manufacturing industry is down
      The link is the connection from clients ➡️ shippers ➡️ CX is the overload of work not the full work

      Being truly honest… depends on circumstances
      Bring your own clients for sure. It’s the best platform to cover everything book your own jobs through it - invoices - payments etc
      It’s a slow burner
      The uncertainty is tough unless you have a certain type of approach
      Especially when your account is new you have to accept you’re literally starting fresh! And build a network

      hi mate, much appreciated for watching
      i'm currently doing roughly this week 3/4 days on average and making 2k a month (which is fine for me as i'm building the account and pushing further for more outside clients)
      - this is revenue btw not full profit
      I’m building up so expenses for everything for me across the board it’s now building up 😁👍🏻
      if I can give my advice for what its worth, you need to look at apps like CX not as a guarantee but as what's possible genuinely
      way to many variables for it to be consistent
      example - if you are in lets say South Yorkshire to London - London back to sheffield
      what's the chances of everyday - someone
      1) - manufacturing a product
      2) - completed that product on time exactly when you need to arrive
      3) - then sending the product to a shipper to price up
      4) - the shipper not having an empty van or the shipper not taking on the job
      5) - the shippers contacts of sub contractors - reliability
      6) - posted on CX + added margin
      7) - then work is accepted and started
      all them things have to happen in a row everyday twice a day for you make an amount just not possible in my opinion
      you should base your day around
      local courier work - people who ring you before its posted on CX
      CX - for connecting and getting started - sometimes use for going out or getting backloads back
      your own clients - you charge full rate as to where you see fit for the client - don't under value yourself
      shipping - where you will post loads that are the overflow of work from the clients (this am currently working on doing, once i've got multiple ill be completed a video)
      networking, networking, networking - its all depends on the amount of networking!
      but if you soley rely on CX no, to produce your money every week I think your going to struggle
      Courier exchange and apps like it - are empty apps they are fantastic platforms but the app is empty without us as drivers and shippers who post work
      the flexibility and what's possible is what got me
      hope this helps, happy to answer anymore questions

      I use a Vauxhall combo 69-plate
      Fairly straightforward to set up
      Make sure you’ve got the right insurance
      Long distance courier work I don’t do much of on the app personally.
      I've done a video on what's needed to get set up insurance-wise, etc
      Eddy's logistics has done a great setup video 👍

      Great stuff mate!
      My opinion build the network of all types
      - local couriers
      - local shippers
      - clients
      - follow what the client wants
      Don’t force loads for the sake of a few extra pounds and you’ll build up a good reputation
      It’s slow at the start! But it works if you work at it
