    some of those don't exist. A basic secret is to learn the trade at a shit company, get your knowledge up and then go to a better company. Work hard when you get there an your money should get better?

    Does anyone know anything about courier company 'Control-1' ?
    Thanks.

    -As far as I personally can see- you're best bets for good companies are City Sprint (who seem to be back on track, payslip-wise), Mach 1 (a.k.a. formerly Reuter Brooks) and Excel. Feel free to add to this list. You can say what you want about these companies but most of the top earners I know seem to be working for them. CS and M1 both require a certain level of experience, as far as I know and I've done time for both of them. If you're not capable of at least 25 dockets a day, every day, I'd wait till you are (for those who haven't messengererered before).

    I know plenty of messengers who are earning what could be considered a decent wage, relatively speaking, at other companies but the three I mentioned seem to have the most consistency. Please ammend as appropriate.

    lol. I'm a beginner anyway, haven't messengered before. But I also don't really want to start at shite company..

    Also CYC are recruiting at the moment, just sent an enquiry if they would concider recruiting a beginner..

    I also love the idea of riding a tricycle lol (zero couriers) but they don't even reply to my emails, which is annoying

    Emailing doesnt really help. Get down there, talk in person.
  3.  
    But they said on their website 'if you're looking for a job riding with us, email us your details'..
    I will go there in person then..

    Always always go in in person, you'll likely get hired on the spot

    And CYC are ok. Last I know they give a 300 guarante. Think it still stands. I broke it many a time and nice enough people to work for.

    Consider yourself lucky. Never, never, never , never work for Zero.
  5.  
    Are we to take it that you no longer work for Zero or are you having a laugh?
  6.  
    Guys, what's wrong with Zero Couriers?

    Hey im new to this site and hopefully am going to be a courier for Churchill express by the end of the week.

    My question is this company any good? Because from what I gather from reading all over this site is that no one works for them or just does not talk about them.

    However a jobs a job. Just want to get some real info on them.
    thanks.
