A return to the basics of cargo love
Are you searching for love? Are you racing over back roads, and climbing insanely constructed driveways? Dodging road debris and narrowly avoiding those pesky construction barrels? Have you replaced the shocks in your ride at least once? Then this might be a good time to talk about cargo love.
If you were able to answer yes to any of these questions, then Cargo Love is for you! The new courier may find this info helpful in possible earnings improvements. And the experienced courier will likely be using these techniques and practices. However, covering the basics now and again, is a best practice.
Return to the Basics
Ever gone through a self checkout in the grocery store and bagged your items, after paying? Once home, you unpack your groceries and the loaf of bread is squished? So, now all peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will be oddly shaped?
Here’s another, all too common scenario. A pizza is delivered, and it arrives stuck to the lid of the box. Or, in scattered pieces, on one side of the box. It’s a good bet this isn’t how it went into the box. The cargo in these examples, (the pizza, the bread) got no love.
There are steps and precautions couriers can take to keep cargo well cared for, and in pristine condition. Coolers and hot bags are excellent tools for food cargo. Hot food stays fresh and hot. Cold beverages and iced products stay cold.
Cargo Love
It benefits the courier, if the ride has extra features. Especially if they keep cargo stable and temperature safe. A vehicle with a rear hatch setup, is ideal for food items such as pizza and gourmet cookie boxes.
Having additional space, for multiple orders, is also an excellent vehicle feature for showing some cargo love. (Pro tip: Seat warmers are good for more than tails, go ahead and keep that cargo warm!)
It’s an added professional touch to use heat bags and thermal carriers, it’s one of the best ways to keep fresh food orders hot and fresh.
As more and more merchants improve their delivery systems, cargo has become even more creatively packaged. The courier can use this packaging strategy to further utilize, additional cargo care. In short, stack it close, and secure. Stay safe out there.
