The staff at CE are very good and polite but I don't think you can make a living from just one courier company, and this industry is very competitive. I have read the Courier Guide and it's very interesting. CE have too many members and so you are generally unsuccessful with most jobs, even though you keep looking at the hub. Location and dead mileage means for some jobs you barely pay for your fuel and lose out. If you get return loads/work regularly in the same direction to your Base it may be worth it. At times I feel it's more of a interest in driving and delivering and meeting new people, just achieveing the task makes me happy. But it is very tiring & stressful on long routes especially with traffic jams and accidents etc. But I do enjoy it once I have delivered & there is not much money to be made after taking into account wear & tear, insurances, MOT, road tax etc. This is my true opinion and every body has there own I suppose.
