In the dark and hidden, the nighttime delivery zone
Deliveries are all about completions. In fact, the more completions the courier has in one shift the better. This is true of the day shift or the night shift. While the courier can work one shift or the other, and in some cases both, there is a difference between the two.
With all the action happening in each delivery, it’s possible to lose track of the time. Furthermore the courier may notice the time of day slipping away. Sooner rather than later the daylight hours have come to an end and the delivery game changes.
Not only can this be disorienting, but also it can slow things down. The delivery zone in the daylight hours is not the same zone at night. Furthermore it’s entirely possible to get turned around in the dark. Also, it can be astonishing how dark a neighborhood street can be, when it’s unfamiliar.
In the dark and hidden
With this in mind there are pockets of good news for the courier! It’s still the same zone, it’s just hidden under all the darkness. Furthermore, everything is still where it was before, it’s simply less visible. Any courier that has spent an evening studying the sides of mailboxes in the dark, knows.
Nighttime changes things. One neighborhood that is familiar in the daylight hours becomes a puzzle in the evening hours. Suddenly there are side roads that are not there in the daylight hours. What gives?
Furthermore, where a certain neighborhood may end in the daylight hours, at night, the roads go on forever. This is just some of the strange things that happen in the nighttime hours. Suffice it to say the nighttime delivery game is a whole new ballgame. However, it’s a winnable game.
With this in mind an upcoming advantage for the courier is that the days are getting longer. (Especially with the extremely popular tinkering of the clocks that just took place) Therefore the nighttime deliveries will settle back into the summertime groove. Standard summertime darkness returns.
Nighttime delivery Zone
This means the techniques for spotting numbers are still the same. Furthermore, the additional flashlight and any kind of spotlight that has a high intensity beam is a bonus to the courier. Especially for the apartment complex… complexities.
While it is true that the courier will eventually memorize more and more details about a zone, it is also true that the same zone in the dark has a higher degree of difficulty. To sum things up, it’s about allowing the extra time to hunt and search. While in nighttime delivery mode. Stay safe out there.
