Virtual Dispatch

Delivery driving is more than an adventure, it’s a job. It is also more than a job, especially when it’s a headache. However, the headaches and hiccups are part of the job, so, it has elements of an adventure, as well.

It’s the job part that the courier needs, for an opportunity at a good day’s pay. Furthermore, in the rush, the courier’s opportunities to prosper are increased.

When there are plentiful offers to examine and choose from the job begins to shift more towards cargo handling and storage. This is when the attention to detail is so important. Overlooking something here, will be costly later.

Sealed Cargo

Additionally, having good thermal bags and containers for cargo storage is an excellent way to improve the quality of the delivery. For example keeping the cargo fresh and hot all the way to the dropoff location.

Sometimes the cargo is hot and fresh food, other times it may be ice cream. Additionally when there is food involved there are requirements and rules that must be observed. At all times.

Merchants have preferred ways of managing cargo for delivery. The top among these is sealing the cargo to make it as tamper proof, as is reasonably possible, and to promote freshness.

In these situations it is a given that the courier can only deliver a sealed package. It will not be possible for the courier to examine the contents of the sealed package. Furthermore, the contents of a sealed package are meant for the dropoff location, and are unknown to the courier.

The Cat

At this point the courier hasn’t a clue what condition the cargo is in, almost like the cat in the Shrodinger example.

It is possible for the courier to alert the merchant of a request from the customer. However, anything that has to do with the contents of the sealed package, will be between the merchant and dropoff location. Respectively.

This is also the reason that should be given to the dropoff location should there be any concerns about the missing contents of a sealed package. Stay safe out there.
