We have a few clients that are self employed couriers for Fed Ex and they earn around £40K a year.

Plus if you're self employed you get to choose the hours you work and you get paid for the amount of packages you deliver.

Andy Stocker used to work for a courier company around your way so it may be worth speaking to him about it

Its really difficult to get into the RAC and AA. You have to get through the interviews first then you have to do the tests. You have to be a good mechanic to be an AA and RAC person. Don't ask me why because all they usually do is tow you home
