Payment collection is becoming less common, however, since many subscribers now pay by mail. Newspaper carriers may solicit new subscriptions by contacting prospective customers on their routes. When they receive a bundle of papers, carriers may roll each paper and secure it with a rubber band. Some carriers put their papers in a special sack designed for holding newspapers. Other carriers just put a stack of papers in their car.
Carriers walk, ride a bike, or drive from place to place while delivering papers.
Newspaper Carriers is in the Marketing, Sales, and Promotion Career Cluster.
