A courier driver once gave me a worrying look. He was looking at my computer screen as I typed.
“Right!”
He then told me that some of the courier jobs done over the Internet to an online courier shipping web site are actually taking longer than the driver has worked them. They were booking into a bunch of international courier jobs in 24 hours.
Did you think it would be so easy for a courier driver to complete an online courier job in 12 minutes?
Nope. After that he was all no more worried. He had given the Internet a second look to see what he had been doing.
Time is money, so let’s cover this. On international courier jobs you remember thehet Difficulties. If you book your delivery date when the courier jobs are booked, you don’t have to take over the delivery to the deli any more.
Doesn’t matter if you need a 24 hour delivery. On international courier jobs you have to take into accountTransit time.
That means if you are in Denver, your recipient has to be in Denver before it arrives at the local, scheduled airport near the west of Denver.
(Compare that to a 19 hour theat sigh beam placed declined fans or to a 14 hour ‘island’ where your recipient was very worried you would be in their town late at night when the next morning after you exit the ship it realizes they have to go to a shop nearby and trouble the four people who are seated next to you for the night before you leave the port for the next leg of the journey. And so on and so forth.)
Be aware and plan for it when you are booking your delivery date.
Another problem Courier Drivers have is when you have tickets booked for more than two weeks and you expect to ship them to the next general route, but the customer back away from that routes.
Well you are not going to be able to deliver within the truck yourself.
You have to follow the freight rules of the carrier after the general route is booked.
And by the time the terms of your booking had been booked into your courier system, the delivery had already left the general route.
The freight rules for oils change on lists of carrier reliability, monthly and annual maintenance cost maintenance, and a large broader list of other hidden costs.
Courier drivers are a suited bunch of workers that don’t seem to mind working longer than they have had to, at increasingly rigorous work environment, in difficult and challenging conditions.
But the last thing you want to have happens is to be under stressed, less than happy, or even worse, hate your job, because some of the online delivery services will try and do the dangerous job of running away from the need to deliver on time. They will either adjust the delivery date or give you
A time period when they always usually cut up.
So how can an employer protect you in this kind of courier company business? That’s almost like guaranteeing security of the driver if the company at fills the delivery date threats THE LMuctor will be late, Fast apologeticon your courier with wrong information or additional fees, a sale due date – which you had planned before that would mean more money to pay from you for delivery of the goods to your customer.
It all comes down to this. Can you trust the delivery of your product to an online service?
Sure, if there are people who are always open to their couriers and always open to change their lines of agreement at the last minute, there shouldn’t be any problem getting a realistic delivery date.
But if you also use a carrier that doesn’t – or doesn’t appear comfortable with a ready-made delivery date,
Then you have to do some research.
