With fuel prices rising again, I’m curious how everyone is handling their pricing right now. Are you: • Pricing jobs based on the last fuel price you paid at the pump, or • Sticking with your existing pricing and taking a hit on the margin to keep clients happy? If this situation drags on for months, what’s the plan? Are you thinking about: • Gradually increasing your rates • Adding a fuel surcharge • Renegotiating with regular clients • Or just absorbing the cost for now? Would be really useful for everyone in the network to hear how others are dealing with it. Drop your thoughts below 👇

I want to highlight an important difference. And I’m open to being proven wrong. This post was provoked by a member pointing out to me that they’re not getting enough deliveries here for it to be worthwhile. That’s a fair frustration, and it deserves an honest conversation. A community lifts each other up. Shares knowledge. Helps each other put food on the table. An exchange is a corporation with shareholders. Its model is driven by profit. And too often, that profit comes from pushing workers into constant undercutting, where survival depends on reducing the value of their own service. We’ve already seen how this plays out. Uber disrupted the taxi industry by promising flexibility and opportunity. In the long run, many drivers were left with lower earnings, higher costs, and little control while the platform retained the power and the profit. “If we do not learn the lessons from the past, we are doomed to repeat them.” So the real question is this: Is the courier sector heading the same way by becoming dependent on platforms? This space was built to support couriers, not extract from them. If you see it differently, I genuinely welcome the conversation.
