Virtual Dispatch

The queue and the cargo. Two vastly different things. Yet both are related to delivery, and they are connected by symmetry. That is also more than delivery zen. It’s a delivery factor.

Furthermore, it is important for the courier to stay on point, especially during stacked deliveries. Not only stacked deliveries, but also during those times when everything gets spooky. It happens.

One spooky event that looms large on the courier’s calendar, is Halloween night! Yes, the nerves will pop, when thinking about how busy the crazed night will be. It’s intense.

Safety Dance

There are many pedestrians that use the roads on Halloween night. In fact, the whole day is ripe for pedestrians, or trick or treaters. These pedestrians are often accompanied by vehicles hovering nearby. They are keeping a close watch on their loved ones.

Large crowds of pedestrians and vehicles are out in the neighborhoods, on Halloween night. Allowing for extra time, and having a mindful presence, is important. In short, slow down and stay alert. Save the hurry for the late night deliveries. The odd runs.

Couriers benefit from staying focused on traffic conditions, because hazards can happen anytime. Halloween night’s traffic, is an unusual event at an unusual time. Therefore, staying alert is important.

Missing Cargo

From Halloween to hocus pocus, the courier must remain alert. It takes very little to throw a delivery off the rails, and disappearing cargo, will do it every time. It is a surprise.

Reasonable offers come through the queue. And after accepting the offer, the courier hustles to the pickup location. Upon arrival, it is discovered the cargo was picked up earlier, by another courier.

It is also discovered that many other couriers have come for the same missing cargo. Therefore, this is a good time, to end the menace, of the tricky disappearing cargo.

Contacting a support agent and verifying that the cargo was picked up earlier, will get the offer removed from the queue. Helps everyone. Canceling the offer, will remove it from the courier’s offer screen only.

In the example above, contacting support is ideal and much improved, in-app. It’s a win win. Wherever the adventure leads, it’s sure to be a very seasonable and fun day of festivities! Stay safe out there.
