Hi, Courier services are paid. This is closer to going for a pint of milk for your mammy. She does'nt pay you either, and you'd hardly be called a courier for bringing it.
There is no hire or reward. its not a job, no one asked you to do it. If you offer to do a run, your volunteering and it's on your own dime, your insurance. I'm being blunt only because it's a good question and deserves a straight answer. bit like bringing a neighbors kid to a soccer match - does not make you a taxi.
that's my interpretation of it. I may be wrong but as i've said, you only go if you volunteer. 2 people doing it rang CN. One was told the premium was going up due to increased millage, and the other was told that sounded great.
