If you live somewhere that has a lot of heavy traffic then you might be surprised to learn that there is often a need for motorcycle couriers. When congestion is heavy but messages still need to get out to areas that cannot be easily reached by delivery drivers, many companies are turning to specialized motorcycle couriers. If you are used to driving in and out of heavy traffic on your bike then you might want to look into this as a job option.
Hospitals and labs often need to send or receive medical supplies and test samples. Because these items need to be handled with specific care, they are usually not entrusted to traditional shipping methods. Also, there is generally a time limit in regards to when the company needs these items or because they are temperature controlled substances. Many times the motorcycle courier is the only sure way to make sure that these items are able to make it through the congestion within the necessary time frame.
Most couriers are going to specialize in congested inner city routes; however, there are those that make deliveries between cities, especially in areas that are built up over each other in an overlapping fashion. Driving between these high traffic areas can take too long for a standard delivery driver, but motorcycle couriers are able to handle the load in a significantly shorter time frame.
Since the motorcycles doing these deliveries are going to be driving through a lot of traffic, companies generally tend to use smaller, faster, more agile motorcycles. This means that the motorcycles will be 600cc's or smaller. The motorcycle patches on the driver's jacket will identify what company the courier works for.
