<h2>Pros and Cons of a Courier Job</h2><p>The benefits of this job are actually being able to manage your own time, be outdoors, getting exercise.</p><p>So the drawbacks of this are the physical toll that it will take on your body and burnout. It's really tough on your knees. I can speak from experience.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>How to Get Started as a Courier / Driver</h2><p>So if you're straight out of school, you can get a package handler job, but to be a driver they want you to be 21 years of age because you are delivering alcohol to some people and you need to be accountable for that.</p><p>The best time to get in is probably during the holidays when they're doing a lot of hiring. Once you get in, you'll get in as a package handler and they'll work you like a dog on loading cans and onto a conveyor belt which feeds all the trucks. But this is the best way in.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>Courier Job Requirements</h2><p>You should be physically able, physically fit, be able to read a map, follow directions, be able to drive to pass a DOT physical.</p><p>You will be required to take a drug test prior to driving for a logistics company. So it's best that you don't do any recreational drugs. They might be legal in your state, but for DOT that's federal and federal does not allow you to have anything in your system.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>What’s its Like as a Courier</h2><p>As a courier, you'll end up in the building about 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. Most days you're out of the building by about 8:30 a.m. and you're able to get to your delivery area by 9:00 a.m. and then start into your delivery day. However, logistics are dependent on flights and if your flights are late then you're not leaving the building till about 10 a.m. maybe 12 and you're going to go out with 100 to 200 stops.</p><p>It's a very physical and demanding job and you got to be ready to wear that. Bring a lunch, prepare yourself for long days, but most times you're going to be out there after sundown delivering stuff.</p><p><br></p>
