Assignments are offered, never assigned. The desk sends the routing, the timings and the fee for one specific trip out of PBC, and you accept it or you do not. Living 3 hours 27 minutes from the terminal simply means you see more of them, because the offers go out in order of who can physically make the flight.
On Board Courier, Chilpancingo
Courier assignments for people based in Chilpancingo, Guerrero. The drive to PBC is 3 hours 27 minutes, the flight is booked and paid before you leave, and applying costs nothing.
OnBoard Courier is a United Arab Emirates company, contracted by ICSL FZE and run from Dubai. A city named on this site is a place we cover and route through, not a separate company in that city. Assignments are contracted under UAE law, and the terms are published in full under legal and policies.
What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.
How to start, in four steps
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
You travel light and you travel as yourself. Passport, phone, the consignment and whatever you need for one or two nights away from Chilpancingo. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of IAH, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. The drive from Chilpancingo to PBC is 3 hours 27 minutes, and the desk builds the timings around it rather than around the timetable alone.
Getting to the aircraft from Chilpancingo
The airports a courier in Chilpancingo can actually use are listed below, nearest first by driving time. PBC leads at 3 hours 27 minutes and 294 km.
A 3 hours 27 minutes drive changes how an assignment out of Chilpancingo is planned rather than whether it happens. The notice is longer, and the desk pays for a room by PBC when the departure is early. The second option out of Chilpancingo is Mexico City Licenciado Benito Juarez, 3 hours 32 minutes by road and 106 nonstop destinations. The desk picks whichever gate has the departure rather than whichever is nearer.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PBC | Puebla City Hermanos Serdán | 294 km | 3 hours 27 minutes | 15 |
| MEX | Mexico City Licenciado Benito Juarez | 278 km | 3 hours 32 minutes | 106 |
Chilpancingo is a city of 187,000 people in Guerrero, and the clock there runs 10 hours behind the Emirates all year. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Chilpancingo may exist and still not appear in the table above.

Why a courier in Chilpancingo is useful to the desk
The desk would rather use a courier who already lives in Chilpancingo than fly one in. It costs less, it is faster, and it removes an entire positioning flight into PBC from the timeline. That is the whole commercial case for keeping names in Chilpancingo, 3 hours 27 minutes from PBC.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of PBC and the other airports listed above, between Mexico and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 3 hours 27 minutes drive to PBC. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach PBC, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
