does that not voilate the commandment of control?
Obviously, doing this on your own is not fastlane, but it is a good place to start, and can easily be made fastlane. You just need to hire several other people to do the actual deliveries for you, as contract workers. And expand as business grows.
does that not voilate the commandment of control?This post is based on a YouTube video I just stumbled upon, on a channel called Box Lyfe. I have no affiliation with the YouTuber, and know nothing about him. However, the video is very straight to the point and not spammy. I think it contains practical information that can be implemented immediately. For people looking to start something.. anything.
In the video, he goes through the steps and resources to get started in the delivery/shipping/removal business, without buying a van. The short story is, rent a van on a third-party site like Priceline (if you can't buy one), instead of directly from the rental company. As it is cheaper.
In the video example, you're looking at $250-300/week rental cost. With that, you can get delivery gigs on marketplaces like Shiply. You should make more than enough to cover all expenses and have an income. From the comments on the YouTube video, several people have taken action on the advice and are seeing decent results. One mentioned $2-3k/week in the removal niche. Read the YouTube comments too.

This is targeted to the US, but I believe it can be implemented in several other countries too. I thought I'd post it here, as there have been a lot of recent threads with people seemingly lost or stuck in what business direction to go. This is one option you can get right on, with only a few requirements, and under $400 starting cost.
There is nothing revolutionary or novel about this, but it's one of those things people might overlook, while chasing fancy "online startup" status. All the best to anyone who chooses to give it a shot!

I am doing the same for a months in Australia. The competition is very high and the best I could make is around $1000 per week (working 7 days a week). This is better than nothing, but I could not see any way forward from that point.
I worked in the same day delivery industry for a few years on the logistics side. There are plenty of companies in any metro looking for contractors to give work to because they have a ton of contracts with companies where they need items delivered (everything is B2B).
We had self-employed drivers making 6 figures just by putting the time in to make some cash. The best would branch out and get additional trucks/vans under them and we would contract to them. It was at this time that Amazon was starting to do the same thing to handle their own deliveries so drivers were helping out there.
With your own on-demand delivery business, you can have a couple of vans, couple of drivers, and really turn a profit without doing much work and never doing a delivery once you have the right people in place. Just focus on maintaining relationships. It's super easy to find reliable drivers.
The company I worked for on the logistics side... the founder started the company in the 80s by delivering the packages himself. He quickly expanded and now contracts to drivers instead of hiring in-house drivers. He has offices in 30+ cities in the US.
This is an unsexy industry that is profitable.

There may be a need for more specialized things, like refrigerated vans.
