I got a shout out lol...but I think a runner guide would be great because we see so many people hitting level 5 and 6 wanting to run and having no clue how to do it or even having the speed to run

Heres something me, jaymeal, breezy and 316 made

The basics u will need to know to become a successful runner.

What is running: Running is a term used, to describe the action of transporting goods from one prison to another. The simple reason people need runners, is because as you advance through prisons, critical items (Energy Drinks, Waters, Blunts) are either higher priced, or non-existent. Therefore, high members need lower members to transport items for them to other prisons. This will save them millions in the long run, and will give you a nice bonus. Running is possible because there’s a period where you can run between two prisons, for example level 5-6 in Jersey can move to Putnam (and after 4 hours goes back to NJ) and 7-8 can move to Arizona and back.

Stats: Runners will carry a LOT of cash. Millions, so if you're a runner always always ALWAYS train speed, other stats are important too but you'll get a lot of mugging attempts. try NOT to make enemies, they can fuck up your business and people may find more liked runners. Keep yourself professional and you won’t have problems. The nicer, and stronger you are the more apt others will be to use you.

Gangs: Get ur self involved in a proper gang, this will help a lot. If your gang leader isn’t in Arizona it’s not a proper gang, gangs will help you establish well needed connections, for more clients, or just bigger orders. However, this is not a MUST, but will sure increase your money making opportunities.

Advertisement: This is critical I can’t tell u guys how many times I went down the list of Arizona inmates and let everyone know I was a runner, and my fees. Remember only msg ppl once and don’t make too many forums, nobody like a nuisance, although if ur name is everywhere they will try u out and use u if they like you.

Putnam Runners: If you're in Jersey, and need to transport items to Arizona, you have a problem; you cannot get into Arizona, so for this you need a second runner, to then take the items and finally give them to your client in Arizona. If you're a New Jersey runner, make sure you have connections with another runner in Putnam, it's good to have at least two people you can rely on in Putnam, this way if one's offline for unknown reasons you can try the next person. It will become a hassle if your client, or, if you have to find a new person every time you want to make a run to Arizona. Plus, you might give them to someone less than trustworthy, and end up owing millions for it.

Record Keeping: Keep records from at least two weeks past, meaning a trans receipt for every order saying it went to ur runner and that ur client has received the order, 2 trans receipts per order basically. After u have sent ur order to ur runner, make sure to send a copy of the receipt to ur client to let them know there stuff is on their way

Remember no matter what the client is right and treat them with enormous amounts of respect, word of mouth will get u the most clients.

FEES: I always charged 100$ per item, if ur client is in az they should be able to afford this no problem, and remember to always keep ur clients interested, I did this by having promos, this let everyone know I didn’t go anywhere and just a ill reminder about me. And remember to get ur fee when your client makes the order, u don’t want them forgetting or sending it to u when u are in putnam

I definitely agree with all this, but the next time I get a mail from some random person when my account goes over 1mil asking if i need a run, bad things will happen. Get your clients by word of mouth through your gang and then your clients, not by spamming people's inboxes, i really don't care if you're mailing 1 time or 100 times.

That is true when i started off there werent so many runners so every1 didnt get so much spam so maybe this isnt such a good diea anymore but word of mouth is one of the most important things i got all my clients from word of mouth

you are right, now everyone is realizing what a great way it is to make money. I usually get 3-4 people asking me a day, more before i turned off the chatbar, it does get annoying
