The one way delivery offer
The first thing a courier looks for in a fair delivery offer, is the payout amount. The second thing a courier searches out is the estimated mileage. These two bits of info help the courier determine if it is a viable offer. This is an example of the solo courier with a delivery app. Furthermore, the courier knows a lot of information already. It’s the two primary details, pay and distance, that matter in the first few seconds of the offer.
This is the instinct and experience the courier brings to the table. There has to be some of this experience, or every offer in the queue will seem viable. And this is not the case on every offer. In fact, the courier must weigh the resources available with the potential offer. Additionally, considering the current location is important. Especially with regard to the pickup and drop-off of the offer.
This is just the first few seconds of the queue offer. The first ten seconds. In just ten seconds, the courier must decide if it is possible to make money on an offer of delivery. Therefore with only seconds to decide, a strategy is paramount. With this in mind, it might be a good time to think about the one way delivery offer.
The One Way Delivery Offer
When the queue is busy the offers happen back to back. Additionally the courier only has seconds to make an informed decision. After a quick scan of the details, the delivery offer should match the courier’s criteria. As closely as possible. Or it must be returned to the queue. Matching the details of the delivery offer is about the courier’s resources.
There is a technique that helps with offers from the queue. It is a matter of using resources to consider offers from the queue. Considering a delivery as a one way trip, is a quick way to estimate. This is especially helpful if the courier is not using a particular location as a starting point. Similarly this technique relies on the courier relocating the home field.
Therefore, the offer from the queue can be thought of as a one way delivery offer. This opens up different possibilities. It is a bonus for the courier to have more options from the queue. This also has the potential to influence earnings. In a positive way. Similarly it opens up the possibilities with the algorithm. When the algorithm is helping the courier, this can be a good thing. Stay safe out there.
