Heavily Saturated Platform - be VERY aware !
At best if you are established and have lots of good customers you would be silly not have this tool in your Logistics work belt. HOWEVER be prepared that an extremely high percentage of the work is being sold at backload rates. Please don’t fall for their marketing of making you think you can use the CX as a sole use of income. The whole platform is now over saturated with owner drivers bidding ridiculous amounts just to get the job. At the end of the day the CX are making a lot MORE money since social media platforms such as YouTube ‘celebrities’ seem to be selling it so well. It’s false and quite simply not fair as they demand a lot up front and then leave you with Shippers ridiculous payment terms and down right unprofessional terms of business . Let’s paint a picture - you do your first job, your new to it all. It goes wrong, you can’t find the place or you hit traffic or you breakdown etc etc etc.. Now the shipper will leave you negative feedback and you’ll probably never get another job as you have this tattooed to your name. I’ve been running on the CX for some time - luckily I have a lot of my own customers. I haven’t won any work on the platform since December last year as I quite simply refuse to quote lower than 35p a mile running a LWB. Yes you heard that correct. ****THIS PLATFORM IS HEAVILY SATURATED**** Be VERY aware and realistic before taking the plunge into the courier game.
