Medical Courier Update: How Much I Made in ONE WEEK!

[@kidnpigtogether]

Great info: Do not EVER take what another human says at face value, do your own research and due diligence. I’ve learned at 53 that ppl love to sell their happiness and miseries and leave out pertinent details, no one has the complete picture for you. You have to get out there and do what you have to do.

I use to do groceries drop off! Not suppose to claim both. Mileage was always better...to claim. So u work for a company? Ive been really been thinking about it & buying me a cargo van later.. Likeeee the video...

[@Mike-vc8cs]

@@luluhen72 biggest misconception on KZbin about courier work is...... You have get or have a cargo van..I started 11 years ago in a Toyota Avalon. I drove it 2 years, it was loaded down with stops, but it worked for all parties involved. As far the miles to itemize, you will not have enough to override the mileage pay. A part-time courier will run 10-20000k miles a years. So do the math if full time, courier, not a expeditor.

[@anthonymcjilton107]

another great video . I think we would love to hear about the plan for taxes. Are you setting aside money now for paying in ? Can we know what type of vehicle your using to get an idea of gas usage and or mileage? Lastly I was just listening to one of your videos while looking at something else and thought she has a voice for either a podcast as it pulls you in and is entertaining or some type of voice over work perhaps even reading books another side hustle. Thanks again for these videos . I'm learning a lot thanks to you. You were on the fence of having a set schedule how's that going ?

[@secondhalfwithamarie]

You are too kind Anthony. With respect to taxes, I have not made enough money to really be worried. I have plenty of deductions so I should be good. I am trying to figure out if I should claim the mileage or the gas. I found out that you can not do both. The vehicle that I was using was a 2019 Hyundai Kona. My vehicle was perfect for the type of materials that I was transporting. I had to laugh when you mentioned doing a possible podcast because I have been thinking about that as another goal to tackle. As far as my schedule, I have given the medical courier business a break for now. The price of gas was killing me and when the weather started changing I knew it was time for me to chill for a minute. I may start back after winter. I hope that was helpful and I would like to thank you for your support! Peace, Love, and Prosperity!

[@infini.tesimo]

If your take home is $32k a year doing this in profits after expenses (not taxes) then it's not terrible but not fantastic either. As a side hustle, that pre-determined schedule scares me away since I work remotely right now and need to work when I want whenever I want and make money per trip. If this were your only source of income, that's still not bad considering you work for yourself. I don't imagine you'd can afford a lot with that budget even as a single adult male/female trying to live on your own but probably pairing it with affiliate marketing would balance it out.

[@secondhalfwithamarie]

Yes, my situation was unique. The predetermined schedule was a problem for me because it did not allow me to do anything else. I was committed to a set time which was problematic. However, the experience was invaluable as this was my first time working in this field as an Independent courier. I wanted to be transparent about the hours I agreed to as well as the $$ made and expenses that I incurred. This particular gig was not sustainable however, if you get a gig that works for you, this is an opportunity that can make some decent cash. Check out my previous video on "How To Get Started As A Medical Courier in 2022" JT Automations provides information on how to make a decent salary as a courier as well. I totally agree and appreciate your comment.

[@SaL-ep7zb]

Question, with your experience would you say this is not for the person that wants to do this a side gig? For example in my case, I have a full time job and I work at night from 10pm-6am so my day starts at about 1pm. I do have some time to work a side gig for 2-3 hrs a day from 1pm-4pm, would this be something that could work for me? I currently to Food delivery apps, but if these medical delivery pay better the Miles to Pay ratio makes more sense I would rather switch to Medical Courier. I live in San Diego, CA pretty big city with over 1.5M population. Any advice ? Thank you in advance! :)

[@secondhalfwithamarie]

Hello SaL, If you can find a medical courier gig that is structured similar to the food delivery apps where you can pick and choose your orders, that would be great. As far as medical courier vs food service its a hard call because gas prices are crazy and any type of driving at this time may eat away at your profits unless you have an electric vehicle(lol). Best advice, do your research and see what you can find with regard to mileage and incentives for both medical and food. Courier companies may pay incentives because they know that gas is killing us. I also encourage you to think about starting a KZbin channel to vlog your journey. What you are doing is interesting to more people than you can imagine. Peace, Love and Prosperity SaL!

She is having a hard time finding a job and so I just want to help her out. Are there companies that you can get a contract under who let you take on the responsibility for the employees that you hire or are they also looking at your employees that work for you? Thank you

[@PoeticJ21]

This is a good question I'm actually trying to do this samething for someone. I want to say yes cause i seen someone say thats why you dont have to get drug tested for some of these companies because when you have your own business your assuming the liability for the employees that you hire under your LLC but don't quote me on that I'm still doing my own research on it too.

[@secondhalfwithamarie]

That's a great question. I would assume if you are starting your own Courier business where you have your own contracts and not sub-contracting for another business, I would think that you could employ whoever you want. I do know that when you work as an independent contractor for other companies, many will require a printout of your driving record. I hope that was helpful.

[@trinat4873]

I am also in Virginia I am also trying to start as a medical courier driver. How do you search for courier service to work for?

[@secondhalfwithamarie]

Hi Trina, I would look up Medical Courier, Courier and Logistics for your area on Indeed. I get a lot of job leads from indeed. Good Luck and let me know if I can help you in anyway. Make sure that if you find a courier gig, it makes sense. Does it pay per day, per mileage, 70 cents per mile or more is reasonable. Also, if they are asking you to pay monthly or weekly fees I would steer away from that company. All your money should be yours. Other gigs to consider: Walmart Spark, Shipt or Roadie.

Hello Afiya Stokes, Although I did not have a full-time job when I worked, I would say it all depends on your contract. If you have a contract that has evening and weekend routes then you should not have a problem. The company that I contracted with was primarily weekdays with no weekend runs.

Great video. Can you share gas/mileage and how many hours a day? Thanks

[@secondhalfwithamarie]

Hello Torleda, The mileage and the gas varied as it just depended on how many runs I had for that day or week. On average, I would say that I would drive any where from 50-100 miles per day. My car is good on gas so even though the prices were high, I would spend between $20-$30 per week. Gas and mileage is really going to depend on the business and how it is set up. For me, there were days when I only made 2 runs for the entire day and other days when I made 10. I hope that was helpful.

Hi Christina, I am in Virginia. New York is a totally different type of beast but I'm sure it could work. I watched a video of an Uber Driver in NY and he made lots of money just doing uber. I would just do the research but I'm sure it could work. The only thing that I would be concerned about is the congestion. The items that I delivered were time-sensitive. Traffic in big cities could be an issue.
