New year, with new challenges for improving cargo care
The start of a new year is exciting and full of potential. It is also a good opportunity to examine the previous year for areas to improve. This benchmark will create opportunity in the year ahead.
Furthermore, the added insight will better guide the courier. Into what, is up to the courier. However, a good place to start is cargo care. This often overlooked area is important. It can also have a direct impact on earnings.
For example, a pizza box. This is a cargo challenge that is surprisingly more complicated than it seems. It is absolutely not okay to transport it on its edge when it is in use. The design of the cargo container allows for side storage, however, pizzas are designed to lay flat.
Improving Cargo Care
With this in mind, it is important to make this distinction. The best cargo care for a pizza delivery is flat transport. Keep it flat. Experienced couriers, particularly those on pizza delivery crews, will attest to this. The end result matters to the drop off location.
This is applicable to any hot fresh food delivery. Merchants are also improving their process and packaging for deliveries. Mindful handling of packages is important. Merchants like McDonald’s have a process, that includes putting all fountain drinks in the container with the food. Obviously careful handling of the package is a given.
From boxes to bags and sometimes cartons too, the packaging of cargo has intent. The merchant prefers their product arrive to their customer in pristine shape. Therefore they work at making the transport packaging efficient and secure.
This is an advantage to the courier. Everything packaged saves time. Sealed cartons and bags mean the items in the order are between customer and merchant. As it should be. Couriers do not open sealed cargo under any circumstance.
When the courier has a system for cargo care it reflects in the quality of the delivery. This improves the overall chances for increased earnings. It’s a new year, with new challenges for improving cargo care. Not only does this benefit the courier in earnings but also in the stats. Stay safe out there.
