Part-Time Odd-Job, Delivery Person Starting Courier Business

I met a guy in a parking lot as I was looking as his Chevy Van.   I was just walking around it and he asked what I was doing.  I told him I appreciate old vehicles.

We struck up a conversation.   He worked as a custodian in a local school and, on the weekend, did odd-jobs, made deliveries, and was a handy man.  He needed to make additional money to try to pay for his kid’s college education.



His liked the delivery, courier business.  He was planning on focusing on the courier business, and, if it all works out, he hoped to be making some “real money” in 12-18 months from now.

  • He had made a good number of contacts who were willing to give him a shot.   
  • He likes dealing with people, and comes across sincere and friendly. (I’ll vouch for that. After just a few minutes, I felt very comfortable speaking with him.) 
  • He had the truck and the proper insurance.  He knows the area.
  • He was in the process of completing the required local town / municipality / county / state documents to start the business.

He was ready.  He was enthused and seemed passionate about it. He seemed to have the entrepreneurial spirit!

I gave him a quick DeliveryMark demo on the spot.  He immediately understood how to use it and how it would be a perfect for the business.  He immediately registered!

It doesn’t take much to get started.   Go For It!

Offer Local Deliveries from your Retail Business

Offer deliveries at your retail store using DeliveryMark Delivery App

Retailing is more competitive than ever.  Offering deliveries may be something that can give you an edge on your competition.


It’s not difficult to offer.  Think about these points:


  • How will you accept orders for delivery?  Allow phone calls?  From your website?
  • How will you accept payments?   Do you have a merchant account that will allow you to accept payment over the phone?  Do you want to sign up for a service such as Square, and have the delivery person charge the recipient’s credit card upon delivery?  (For Square they will need an IOS or Android device with data capabilities?  Will you, the owner, provide the delivery person with this device?)
  • Who will make the deliveries? Do you have a responsible employee with a clean driving record? 
  • Does the size of your product require a large car, SUV, or van? Can they use your, the owner’s car or truck?  Does your insurance cover using the vehicle for commercial purposes?
  • Is your product perishable?  Do you need to have method of keeping it cool? Refrigerated? Think about the details of your products.  Is it fragile? Etc.

Play it safe and check with your insurance company before offering deliveries.  Better safe than sorry. (Please note the above list is Not exhaustive.  You may also want to check with your attorney.)

We also suggest having your delivery person use the DeliveryMark Delivery App. 


The DeliveryMark Delivery App allows you to assign the delivery with details to your driver. It allows you to collect signatures (optional), take photos (optional), add comments (optional), and create a proof of delivery document.  It also allows you to track the location of the driver.

The app is easy to use and is inexpensive.  We say it costs less than the price of today’s lunch.

So think about how “do-able” it is to add local deliveries to your business.  Think about it.  And remember to make sure to visit DeliveryMark.com and download the DeliveryMark Delivery App.

You Need Proof Of Delivery That You Didn't Damage Those Boxes

You work so hard running your business…

The #delivery and #transportation industry is competitive.  You need to be #competitive with your #pricing. You keep close track of your finances and expenses.  You work hard acquiring and keeping clients.

You also need to have technology to run efficiently and look professional to your clients.

Your technology also protects you from problems.

Having A Delivery App that will generate a Proof of Delivery Document could be critical to your business.  "Things Happen". 

The photo below is an example of the DeliveryMark Delivery App protecting you. A driver had picked up boxes of tiles.  Two of the Twenty boxes were damaged.  The driver took photos of the boxes when he picked up the delivery.   As a result, he eliminated a potential problem, and potential accusations that he had damaged the boxes when he arrived at the destination. Not that anything would have happened... but you never know.   And the DeliveryMark Delivery App is very easy to use, and inexpensive so... why not?!


Takes Photos and Use The DeliveryMark Delivery App
Yes the boxes were damaged when I had picked them up.
