Do a search there are threads on this before.

Be wary of buying into a franchise as you will be lied to by all parties and when you get the run it takes 1.5 times the time you thought you would take and you get far fewer parcels than you were led to believe, and instead of a great wage its a tough slog to earn a middling wage.

We deal with most of the large couriers and the faatway guy definitely seems the most stressed! As mentioned already there have been a good few threads in the past about buying the franchise its worth having a look.

Dont do it. I have friends who used to work there. They hated every minute of it. Couldnt wait to get out. All the couriers were treated like dirt while the office staff were looked after much better. If i were you, i would definately look somewhere else. Good luck with your searches..

Just try booking a parcel online or ringing to book a parcel, disaster of an outfit.

Buy yourself a high roof transit an go work for a courier company on contract , they are always looking for self employed drivers, If it dosent work out at least you can sell the van and you havent really lost a lot, be prepared for long hours ,
