I agree with you about the dangers of being a messenger - that's why I ultimately quit; I had one close call too many and realized I'd lost my "edge". When I quit, the dispatcher, a former courier himself, looked deeply into my eyes and said "You're doing the right thing. Not enough guys know when it's time to quit."

As a courier you know where you fall on the totem pole when it's sleeting in January and your biggest number of trips for the day is delivering lunch to the lawyers. But, there are few things sweeter than being a courier on a warm spring (or fall) afternoon. I'm just glad I lived to tell the tale...
