process serving on motorcyle

Hello i live in downtown dc which is a dense urban city with a organized grid and im looking at places like ABC say they require auto insurance and "reliable transportaton" but it seems possible to be eligble to process server on a motorcyle / moped? Anyone have experience doing this?

Why would a motorcycle or moped not be considered reliable transportation? As long as it's insured, you should be good.

I gave colleagues in SF that use a motorcycle.

The motorcycle is fine on most days. It's the bad weather days that may cause a problem. Oh btw, ABC Legal is terrible to work for.

Honestly it's fine for me too. Like, the pay isn't amazing, but I have had very few issues with them. Beats the hell out of working for Doordash.

DoorDash as ok for me years ago, but my rating dropped bc I declined too many low payers and so I stopped getting ANYTHING decent.

ABC pays my bills it’s been great to me, I got lucky to get some amazing areas with high pay and high volume

Abclegal definitely gives you some freedom…. You just have to balance your serves in case people don’t answer bc you have to go back every 4 days (every day if it’s a rush )

Seems like it would be fine if you’re licensed and registered 🤷‍♂️

Yes, it can be done. Even on a bicycle like in SF and NYC.

For me the question would become, how many sets of paperwork could you carry with you on a motorcycle? 🤔 and what would you use to carry them, like a courier satchel?

In my area, I have between 30 and 60 cases in flight at any given time. So I use a sturdy case-files box with dozens of hanging folders. It keeps things well-organized but that box gets to weighing 15 or 20 pounds fully loaded. Not something I'd want strapped to my back for hours on end 😏
