COURIER/MESSENGER
Salary
Messengers tend to work standard shifts, most likely with some overtime offered. You will be paid an hourly wage, and usually there is no tipping in making deliveries. For those at the upper end of the scale, it is not out of the question to earn upwards of $1,000 a week, but that will be obtainable for only a small percentage of drivers, and usually these jobs are located in major cities like New York and Los Angeles.
The median wage for a courier in 1997 was $8.01 per hour. Those handling medical material tended to earn the most, and those delivering basic envelopes and packages were at the bottom of the scale.
