💰 Gig Apps: A Great Way to Earn Part-Time Income!
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.

📈 Stacking: how to stop leaving money on the table between deliveries
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. Question for you: how many apps or sources of work are you running right now, and which one actually pays best? Drop it below 👇

🚛 ONE OF THE PERKS OF HAVING YOUR OWN MOTOR CARRIER AUTHORITY!
Here’s a little insight into the opportunities that can come through Curri when you have an active motor carrier account. I recently received two dedicated route opportunities: • Rocky Mount, VA ◦ $305 per day ◦ 150 miles per day ◦ 8 hours ◦ 7 days per week ◦ November 11 – January 2 • Salem, VA ◦ $287.70 per day ◦ 150 miles per day ◦ 8 hours ◦ 7 days per week ◦ November 23 – November 29 Both opportunities requested a cargo van or Sprinter van. Now, here’s something worth understanding: These routes are subject to bidding, and submitting a bid does not guarantee assignment. Why am I sharing this? Because I want members to understand that there are different levels to this business. Gig apps can be a great starting point, but having your own authority can open doors to additional opportunities, including dedicated routes and contract work. I’m not saying everyone needs to rush out and get their authority. There are costs, insurance requirements, compliance responsibilities, and overhead to consider. I’m simply showing you what’s possible when you position your business for more opportunities. The goal isn’t just to find more work. It’s to build a business that gives you access to more ways to earn. Have questions about Curri, motor carrier authority, or getting set up for opportunities like these? Let’s talk below! 👇

🎄 Looking to Make Some Extra Money for the Holidays?
The holidays are approaching, and this is a good time to explore additional income opportunities. I’ve put together a course featuring several delivery and gig apps you can download and potentially use to earn extra money in your spare time. Whether you’re looking to: - Bring in some extra cash for holiday shopping - Supplement your current income - Stay busy on evenings or weekends - Explore opportunities beyond your regular 9–5 There may be an app worth checking out. 📚 Check out the course here: https://www.skool.com/courier-connect-9788/classroom/6b9bccc8 My advice: Don’t limit yourself to just one platform. Get familiar with multiple apps, understand their requirements, and have a few options available. Remember, the goal isn’t just to stay busy. It’s to put yourself in a position to make money without losing sight of your time and expenses. Let’s finish the year strong! 💪💰
