The Value of Multiple Income Opportunities for Couriers One thing I always encourage couriers to consider is the value of having multiple income opportunities. You don’t necessarily have to land a dedicated contract or work 40+ hours a week to generate additional income in this industry. Sometimes, working a few hours around your existing schedule using gig platforms can make a meaningful difference. Real-World Example Here’s a real-world example: I tracked earnings across several gig platforms during the week of November 2–8. Weekly Earnings: • $540.11 On Sunday, November 8, Alone: • Curri: $78.92 (1 delivery) • Roadie: $67.41 (3 deliveries) • Total for the day: $146.33 That’s money generated through just two platforms in one day. Now, imagine what an additional $400–$500 per week could do for your household budget, savings goals, or even paying down debt. Why I Like the Gig App Approach • Flexibility to work around your existing schedule. • Multiple platforms provide more opportunities to find work. • You can earn additional income without committing to a dedicated route. • Great way to stay active while searching for consistent contracts. • An opportunity to learn your market and build relationships with potential customers. Important Reminder But here’s something important… Don’t confuse revenue with profit! You still have to account for: • Fuel • Vehicle maintenance • Tires and depreciation • Insurance • Taxes • Your time A $100 delivery doesn’t automatically mean you made $100. You have to understand your operating costs and determine whether the opportunity is actually worth accepting. Advice to Couriers My advice to new and experienced couriers: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Explore platforms like: • Curri • Roadie • GoShare • Amazon Flex • Veho • Senpex Availability varies by market, and not every platform will be a good fit for every vehicle or driver. The goal isn’t to work yourself into the ground. The goal is to create additional income opportunities while maintaining control of your time. Sometimes, an extra $400–$500 a week is more valuable than chasing a contract that takes over your entire schedule.

Most new drivers lose money during downtime—waiting for the next ping, driving back empty, or sitting in a parking lot refreshing the app. The solution is called stacking: having more than one source of work lined up so when one dries up, another is ready. It doesn’t mean running every app and accepting everything. Here’s how I think about it: 1. Pick a primary and a backup. Know which app or contract pays best in your area at different times of day. Everything else fills the gaps. 2. Never accept a job you can’t finish on time. One late delivery can cost you more than the money you made stacking. 3. Know each platform’s rules. Some restrict working multiple jobs at once or require your focus on an active delivery. Read the terms before you try this. 4. Track your real hourly number. A $12 job that takes 20 minutes beats a $15 job that takes an hour. 5. Check your insurance. A lot of personal auto policies exclude delivery work. Find out before you need it.
