Working as a courier in France
No diploma is required. A licence B is needed for vans up to 3.5 tonnes; heavier vehicles require a C1 or C licence and the FIMO training, renewed through the FCO every five years. Many delivery drivers work for subcontractors of parcel carriers, while food and bike couriers often work as micro-entrepreneurs through platforms, with their own social contributions. Some employers provide a short initial training. Cities are adding low-emission zones and delivery time rules, which affect rounds. Basic French helps with customers and notices. Search for « livreur », « chauffeur livreur », « livreur VL » or « coursier ».
