People who are always out on courier jobs may not see their occupation as particularly glamorous.
Apart from the long days navigating the major roads they have to deal with paperwork and demanding customers.
Nonetheless, a number of film directors have been inspired to make films featuring character-filled delivery drivers.
The best of these movies are showcased in this article.
The Courier This hard hitting action movie features stars Mickey Rourke and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
The story involves a drifter who is given the task of delivering a mystery suitcase to a fearsome assassin.
It might bear little relation to the daily lives of most western delivery drivers, but nonetheless it makes for an entertaining and exciting watch.
Transit This film has an intense feel and plenty of fast moving action scenes.
The plot is a little far-fetched and may be a little hard to follow after a long day completing courier jobs - so be warned! However, scenes featuring a wild gun toting mother and some truly awe inspiring scenery are well worth watching.
The Transporter Delivery drivers may wish that they had as much fun on their courier jobs as Jason Statham seems to have in the Transporter.
The muscle bound hard man manages to kick and blast his way past the enemies, have some steamy fun with a beautiful woman and even make the final transfer.
Anybody who enjoys watching this thriller is encouraged to check out the Transporter 2 and 3.
Deux Secondes For an insight into the French-Canadian attitude there are few better films than this.
The main character is a feisty, independent cyclist who does a variety of courier jobs on any given day.
In the course of the movie she narrowly loses a downhill cycling race, meets up with her quirky brother and finds love in the shape of a dishevelled old bike shop owner.
This is one for anybody with a keen interest in world cinema.
Hidalgo Wild Western courier jobs were carried out on horseback by hard talking, fearless men.
At least that's what the watchers of Hidalgo are led to believe.
Although the bond developed between Viggo Mortensen and his trusty stallion is hard to swallow, there are enough high points to make this an appealing movie.
Watch out for captivating performances by Omar Sharif as the high powered Sheikh Riyadh and Zuleikha Robinson as love interest Jazira.
Premium Rush Fans of Joseph Love Hewitt won't want to miss this awesome upcoming flick.
It is directed by David Koepp, who has also been credited with the writing of Jurrasic Park and Mission Impossible.
What's more it features some absolutely captivating chases and awesome bike stunts that shouldn't be tried at home.
Unfortunately we'll have to wait a couple of months for the cinema release.
