COURIERS

Our couriers don't need to wait 2 weeks to get paid or to find out how much they'll be paid. At Dropoff we pay by the delivery, so you'll know exactly how much you're making after every completed order.

COURIERS

Our couriers often deliver important medical samples, equipment, and other related items. Due to the unique requirements around these items, we help all of our couriers to stay up to date on the relevant certifications.

All of our new couriers will first participate in what we call ridealongs, where the new driver will accompany a seasoned courier on their deliveries so they can become familiar with the appropriate procedures.

Only the best of our couriers get connected to routes. Routes are a set of deliveries that happen on a recurring basis and are for some of our largest and most prestigious clients. Getting a route as a courier is competitive but ultimately very lucrative for those that excel.

A courier is a person or organisation that delivers a message, package or letter from one place or person to another place or person.[1] Typically, a courier provides their courier service on a commercial contract basis; however, some couriers are government or state agency employees (for example: a diplomatic courier).

Couriers are distinguished from ordinary mail services by features such as speed, security, tracking, signature, specialization and individualization of express services, and swift delivery times, which are optional for most everyday mail services. As a premium service, couriers are usually more expensive than standard mail services, and their use is normally limited to packages where one or more of these features are considered important enough to warrant the cost.

In ancient history, messages were hand-delivered using a variety of methods, including runners, homing pigeons and riders on horseback. Before the introduction of mechanized courier services, foot messengers physically ran miles to their destinations. Xenophon attributed the first use of couriers to the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger.

Starting at the time of Augustus, the ancient Greeks and Romans made use of a class of horse and chariot-mounted couriers called anabasii to quickly bring messages and commands long distances.[2] The word anabasii comes from the Greek αναβασις (adscensus, "mounting").[3] They were contemporary with the Greek hemeredromi, who carried their messages by foot.

The genus of the UK same-day courier market stems from the London Taxi companies but soon expanded into dedicated motorcycle despatch riders with the taxi companies setting up separate arms to their companies to cover the courier work. During the late 1970s small provincial and regional companies were popping up throughout the country. Today, there are many large companies offering next-day courier services, including Speedy Freight, DX Group, UKMail and UK divisions of worldwide couriers such as FedEx, DHL, Hermes Group, Global Express Courier, UPS and TNT City Sprint.

The 'Man & Van'/Freelance courier business model, is highly popular in the United Kingdom, with thousands upon thousands of independent couriers and localised companies, offering next-day and same day services. This is likely to be so popular because of the low business requirements (a vehicle) and the lucrative number of items sent within the UK every day. In fact, from 1988 to 2016, UK couriers were considered universally self employed, though the number of salaried couriers employed by firms has grown substantially since then. However, since the dawn of the electronic age the way in which businesses use couriers has changed dramatically. Prior to email and the ability to create PDFs, documents represented a significant proportion of the business. However, over the past five years,[when?] documentation revenues have decreased by 50 percent. Customers are also demanding more from their courier partners. Therefore, more organisations prefer to use the services of larger organisations who are able to provide more flexibility and levels of service, which has led to another level of courier company, regional couriers. This is usually a local company which has expanded to more than one office to cover an area.

Some UK couriers offer next-day services to other European countries. FedEx offers next-day air delivery to many EU countries. Cheaper 'by-road' options are also available, varying from two days' delivery time (such as France), to up to a week (former USSR countries).

Large couriers often require an account to be held (and this can include daily scheduled collections). Senders are therefore primarily in the commercial/industrial sector (and not the general public); some couriers such as DHL do however allow public sending (at higher cost than regular senders).

I have used many couriers in the past, but chose Denver Boulder Couriers for their service, pricing, and reliability. I used DB Couriers for two of my previous businesses for almost 20 years ranging from envelopes to 500 pound palettes within the front range. They have always been timely, respectful, and efficient.

But in 1984 Embassy Moscow security officers discovered that locally purchased electric typewriters had been fitted with eavesdropping devices that recorded all their keystrokes. As a result, couriers began transporting U.S.-purchased and tested equipment to all locations where sensitive or classified information might be handled.

Shortly thereafter, Bureau of Diplomatic Security specialists made another discovery: listening devices had been embedded throughout the structure of a new U.S. facility in Moscow during construction, with clandestine wires running within poured concrete pillars. These developments caused a massive shift in the Diplomatic Courier Service workload. Ever since, diplomatic couriers have also overseen the secure transport of all construction materials for overseas Department of State facilities that handle classified information.

Another shift in courier operations took place in the late 1990s, after the European Union deregulated its airline industry so it was no longer dominated by large state-run carriers. The result was a market-driven shift to smaller aircraft with less cargo capacity, at a time when couriers needed to transport even more materials.

Just as we have needed couriers to quickly transport information for thousands of years, as long as we have been practicing medicine, we have needed medical couriers. What we do at Fleet Couriers is the most recent stage of service the medical community has needed throughout history.

(d) Record keeping. An inventory of the classified materials being transported shall be recorded and maintained by the GSA Security Programs Branch, the SSM and/or the GSA COMSEC manager, as appropriate. Classified couriers may also keep a copy of the document transmittal receipt at their assigned duty station as a means for record keeping.

(8) Packages shall not be stored in any detachable storage compartments such as automobile trailers, luggage racks, vehicle trunks, passenger compartments, aircraft travel pods, or drop tanks. Further, classified couriers cannot leave classified material in locked vehicles, car trunks, commercial storage lockers, or storage compartments in the passenger section of commercial airlines, or while aboard trains or buses.

(11) All classified material must be transported in carry-on luggage. Classified couriers cannot pack classified items in regular checked baggage. Unless special circumstances exist, the hand-carried materials will be subjected to x-ray screening. If necessary, the screening official may also be allowed to feel, flex, and weigh the package without opening the envelopes themselves. The person screening the package will not, under any circumstances, be allowed to open the package. If an attempt to open the package occurs, the courier shall request an airport security supervisor. If the situation cannot be remedied without the package being opened, the courier shall contact the GSA Director of Personnel Security cited on the Courier Authorization Card or Letter before proceeding. Again, do not permit the screening official to open envelopes or read any portion of the classified document as a condition for boarding. 041b061a72
