More content to come
Appreciate you watching & any feedback is great
P.s. I’m loving your energy mate. Keep it going
Much appreciated! Keep winning
Life tough for many especially at the minute, if I can add some positivity that will be a win for me
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
Wow, powerful message Peter
Appreciate the support
Just trying to share my journey and I understand the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows
I hope you’re ok now?
Any feedback you have throughout the videos am always open to see other people that have been in the industry longer then me
😁👍🏻
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
I think it’s on the edge of change is what I see massively
What’s your thoughts on the 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?
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
With all the negativity around the cx at the minute, it’s nice to see your positivity
CX is just a platform, I don’t get why it gets so much hate
Hope all goes well, I'm looking for some courier work to Justify the low mileage mwb Master I have to be able to volunteer driving, (2 days per fortnight) so if you have any work I can take on I'm sure you will profit too, based just north of Birmingham, mature sensible driver with good customer skills, perhaps we can build together. Please DM for further info.
Send me a email with your details
I’ll put you on the contacts list mate
Much appreciated for the comment

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
👍🏻
@@BrentFord93 if it’s Journease your asking about ? It’s courier software that I use so my customers can book me online . You can set up an account for your customers so they can track you and you can invoice them .
Lots more stuff you can do
@@stezkeep1058 ohh right that’s actually really useful
I’ll get a demo booked in with them give that a try
This is the exactly reason why I set up the channel to keep learning and developing 👍🏻
Any other feedback is always taken into consideration
Would you recommend cx 2024
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
All the best mate. Keep burning rubber not your soul.
Are you on the CX? Just curious… 😁👍🏻 thank you for the comment
Yes I’m in Cx.
@@digghale3466how’s it going for you?
All good so far it’s just a matter of time. It’s been 3yrs.
@@digghale3466 great stuff!
Hey, Great video. What do think the realistic Monthly earn potential is? Im looking at doing the same but am hearing it quiet! Dont bother etc.
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
Bruv,wat van do u have needed help to start courier work long distance .is it easy to set up and work
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 👍
Realistically u need brains. To work on CX.
It seems it needs to be seen as a business builder not a supplier of work
It’s not Uber or courier work 😁👍🏻
I am starting next week cx hope it works for me
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
Great video mate keep it up
Much appreciated, for watching
More content to come! 👍🏻😁
No no no it’s doomed no jobs cheep rates no support….oh dear
I understand, what vehicle you driving?
Maybe it's this sort of negativity is why you don't get work 🤦🏻
@@LukeScott-e5m think it’s key to have a positive attitude
Have no expectations & be very proactive
If waiting for CX to deliver a consistent set of work is like pulling lottery
thinking of starting this soon, what motor would you recommend,I am currently working in a factory bashing 12 hours a day 6 days a week two of which are nights, time for fucking change so bad.
@@Ferrari458-u8u personally
I use a Vauxhall combo midi van
LWB is busy really busy but not getting the right mileage but it’s way busier for a LWB (long wheel base
I think in this game it’s all about your contacts and type of work & how much you wanting to make?
