Overview
A courier business runs on wheels, fuel and time. Whether you are doing same-day metro runs, parcel deliveries, medical or document work, or last-mile for bigger logistics players, every dollar depends on keeping the van moving and the jobs flowing. Customers pay on terms while fuel, rego and maintenance come out of your pocket weekly.
It is a huge and competitive field. Across a large and crowded national market, plenty are sole operators with one van, and rates are tight. The ones who get ahead keep their vehicles reliable, win steady contract work rather than only ad-hoc jobs, and chase invoices so a 30-day account does not leave them short on fuel.
Online shopping has lifted parcel volumes, but it has also pushed expectations on tracking, speed and proof of delivery, so the back office matters as much as the driving.

Common questions
Because the work is paid in arrears on terms, but fuel, rego and servicing come out weekly. A busy fortnight can still leave you short when three accounts all pay late. Many operators use a small facility to bridge the gap.
Both have a place, but steady contract or last-mile work smooths your income and helps with fuel and finance planning. Ad-hoc jobs pay well but come and go, so building a base of regular clients is what makes the week predictable.
Quick access to a repair or a backup vehicle is critical, because every day off the road is lost income. A small working-capital buffer or finance line means a breakdown becomes an inconvenience rather than a missed week of work.
