Linky

I'm really not sure if this kind of thing is legitamate, but I have worked for companies before where you kind of "hire" their work. The taxi company I was with appears to run in a similar way but that kind of money is a lot for me to drop on a scam so what do you guys think?

It's legal, but if you want to be a courier (I did it for 3 months years ago) just buy a van and go to your local courier companies.

We use APC and DPD couriers, I know both employ self employed owner drivers and both pay pretty well if the drivers are to be believed ?

Buying a van is the second hardest part at the moment, as I have no money (I was saving up but my employers have said "we've got nothing for you" for too long now)

The hardest part is convincing an actual company I can drive a van to a place, seeing as I've not got couriers down as my last three employers

In that case both those I mentioned above have plenty of employed staff, (I know most take there provided vans home to) again by all accounts on a decent wage, nothing ventured........ ?
