The best delivery to end a shift.
The title of this article is the result of research. Heavy duty research. Seconds that felt like hours, were spent delving deep into the archives. The dust was thick, and there were cobwebs. Real, actual, cyber cobwebs.
Furthermore, it wasn’t difficult to find the trail to this article. Not in the archives, yet the archives did inspire this thought train. The best delivery to end a shift is important. The details of this delivery type, are more about the solo courier versus the crew courier.
With a closer look at the crew courier, it’s possible to compare. For example, the schedule. The crew courier is a part of the merchant schedule. Therefore, the courier is scheduled a clock in and a clock out time. Respectively.
The Best Delivery
With this in mind, crew couriers are scheduled through the rush. Moreover, if business is slow, the merchant can dismiss couriers to balance labor costs. It is supply and demand. (In this example) The courier is the supply, deliveries are the demand. If there are no deliveries to be completed, well…
The crew courier knows when the current delivery will be the last delivery. Through the schedule. This prevents compromising the service quality of the queue. In short, the courier leaves after the rush. Possibly later than scheduled.
Similarly, there are times when the merchant rush isn’t large. Even though planned for. When this happens the courier may be offered an early dismissal time. This also helps balance supply and demand. In addition to the courier’s time.
This is for the crew courier. The solo courier has a different experience. For the solo act, the final delivery of the day is tricky. Not only is it up to the courier, but also the clock. The solo courier sees a decrease in activity later in the evening. (Influenced by merchant closing times) Therefore a long stretch without a delivery, may signal quitting time.
With this in mind, the solo courier decides if the last offer is actually the last delivery. It isn’t uncommon to get better than average offers late in the evening. In fact this benefits the solo courier’s overall earnings, as well. Stay safe out there.
