Also, what are the percentages like now days??
I worked briefly for the messengers. It has both positive and negative aspects. Brian, my dispatcher was very fair and an all around great guy. The owner is a strange man, diluted by false ideals and religion. He is the sole reason why I quit that company. I'd usually start around 8:30 and finish up around 6:00 taking home roughly $100 a day. Another thing about the messengers is the dress code. Bicycle specific clothing is required. No cut off shants or anything like that is tolerated. And god forbid you have any tattoos or obvious piercings. Danhalen would be a good person to talk to about this. That is, if he's still around here. Dan?
