The first delivery completion and the strong start
It is a crisp sunny day. The roads are busy, and the early evening rush is about to start. The queue is overflowing with delivery offers. After careful consideration, the courier accepts a delivery offer. It is the beginning of the rush. The wheels are fresh, and so is the courier’s resolve to complete the first delivery. This one event, sets the tone, for the rest of the evening.
With this in mind, the courier begins the hustle. Traffic is predictably dense and there may be road closures. Or detours. Additionally, the first offer is a high mileage delivery. Therefore the timing of the drop-off is important. Likewise, the pickup at the merchant location needs to be quick. Any delay on the first delivery sets the pace for the evening shift.
The First Delivery
It’s starting to look like the first delivery is more than a simple run. That’s because it is. The tone, or pace, of a series of deliveries is a real thing. Not only does it matter, but also it is a challenge for the courier. If it sounds more like a mindset compared to technique, that’s an accurate observation. In fact, the quicker the first delivery is completed, the faster the courier can accept another offer.
The more deliveries a courier can complete in an hour, the better. However it all starts with the first one. Therefore, with regard to mindset, the first delivery completion matters. How quickly it is completed. The timing of each of the steps in the process. Also traffic conditions and surprise detours. And then finally the earnings. All of these influence the entirety of the delivery shift.
This is why making the extra effort from the start matters. It is the strong start that sets the courier up for improved earnings. The pace will carry throughout the evening. Additionally, the courier will be well placed to benefit from the rush. Upcoming offers will flow in a timely way. All of this happens from a successful and timely first delivery.
A Strong Start
It can easily be said that a courier will benefit because the first delivery was a smooth completion. This is why the extra effort for a strong start can make all the difference. Furthermore it goes a long way toward an improved customer experience. This, in turn, creates a strong possibility for improved earnings. Every courier benefits from improved earnings. Stay safe out there.
