fermentor666 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I was a car courier in Boston during one of the worst winters we had. It paid shit, my boss was a total fucking asshole, I'd either be expected to sit in my car for 3 hours in freezing cold weather waiting for a job or expected to run 10 deliveries all over the state in a day. Plus my boss didn't give me my last paycheck and yet it showed up on my taxes, now I might have to take him to court for fraud. On the plus side, I learned my way around.

fermentor666 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 And make sure you pick a reputable company, there are a few of them out there that will either not pay you or skim money out of your jobs without telling you. Ask around, ask couriers who they work for and if they're getting treated well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.T Boy Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 i hate cyclists and couriers who cant decide where to ride their bikes, lets just go on the sidewalk and then scream at people like it ours for cycling. and then lets just jump right in to traffic and get iin the way, by driving a bike over the biggest bridge in the city, or through rush hour traffic. pick one and stay there. everyone i know in this city who has a bike, is an asshole. strangley enough i want a bike quite badly.

crave Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 as a kid i always thought being a bike messenger would be like, the coolest job ever. but then i grew up and realized that it can't be that much fun. too much like work. whatever floats your boat--go for it. .

!@#$% Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 upside: get a job in most cities, spend at least part of your day screwing around, work outside, maybe get paid under the table or tax freee, get a little healthier maybe downside: lots of injuries, no health insurance, no oppurtunity for advancement in this career or any other, work outside, lousy pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Groundex has to be the worst, you can mark my words on that. I've met more than one person that's been screwed over on them with either paychecks or tax forms. I got fucked on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
