Happy new year to everyone 🎉🍾

11/06/2023

I'm a member of a few delivery related Facebook groups. The general consensus is that every delivery company is bad to work for.

We have worked with four different national couriers, all of which are recognised by most households. Some are fairly transparent about the way they work, some aren't, some penalise you financially for non-compliance, some give you points and when you hit a given number of points you lose the route - the end result is always a financial penalty.

Every house has its rules, drivers and service partners must abide by those rules or move on, rules are there for a reason, i.e. to improve and maintain a good customer experience. An example of a delivery rule is the delivery photo; needs to be an open door showing the goods - this proves the goods were delivered and transfers liability from driver to customer. It makes good business sense to transfer liability to the customer, but only a good photo can do that 100%.

Some rules are more onerous than others. We hire self-employed drivers to provide a delivery service, some are very good at following the rules, some don't seem to understand what a rule means, that is the reality.

It's extremely important to set real world expections from the start, and this is where many carriers get it wrong - they are not completely transparent, and this generates many online complaints. A frequent issue is drivers leasing vans through the carrier, what happens when the van develops an issue and the driver is not at fault? The driver should receive a replacement van immediately so as not to affect his or her earnings. However, the reality is somewhat different with drivers having to rent a van to maintain income whilst the lease van is put in a queue to be looked at.

Other issues include a lack of communication, not knowing who to contact regarding vehicle or route issues, being left at home when volumes drop amongst other things.

It's difficult to gauge the cost to a carrier of all these online complaints, but it wouldn't cost them anything extra to be completely transparent about everything a driver needs to know, there is work to be done so everyone wins.

Communication is everything, overcommunicating is better than poor communication.

We were out on the road till 11 pm last night ensuring perishable deliveries were completed. If they aren't delivered on the day the boxes are binned and Tango is fined.

But this could have been averted, first with the driver letting us know early of any issues and then with us taking a more proactive attitude.

As much as we explicitly ask the drivers to update us with any issues, newbies tend to get caught up in the emotion and difficulties of the first days focusing more on getting through it - this job is challenging, the learning curve is steep.

So, what can we do moving forward - better on the road training emphasising what exactly should be communicated, and that's what we'll focus on the next few days!!

Today, we had two vans break down on us; one on the M4 before route and another during a route, roughly 20 stops in.

Contingency is key, we managed to merge two routes into one and sent support to our driver out on the road. It's all very well finding a solution to daily issues such as breakdowns, but everything within a business environment comes at a cost - and everyone underestimates the real cost. 'It's just a scratch', we hear a lot.

Key to minimising down time and waste is prevention. From simple brake checking to ensuring engine protectors are on and preventing water going up into the engine area.

We pester our drivers to check their vans, they know their vans, we listen and act as quickly as possible.

Our two vans from today will be off the road for several days, but we have a plan for that!

Cost saving - MPG

One huge factor that affects the P/L of a parcel delivery company is the mpg of vans. It is seriously underestimated, can turn profit into loss, and is influenced by two main factors:

1. Driving performance
2. Van performance

Harsh acceleration and braking can affect fuel usage, as can the tyre inflation, buildup of gunk throughout the engine, use of ad blue and more.

We have installed telematics in our vans as a way of monitoring driver performance - it does make a difference. MPG of those drivers regularly speeding on the motorway, or accelerating quickly is lower than those drivers being more careful - 21 mpg compared to 28 mpg on average - where there are issues we look to educate.

Lately, we have started to keep an eye on tyre inflation and liquid levels, more than before. All our vans are fairly new and have a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) - this can be kept clean by running the engine, in 5th gear with 2500 revs for about 20 minutes, once a week - sometimes the driver will feel a jolt as the particulate buildup is swept away.

Proactive engine maintenance is key to keeping your vans efficient, and staying away from losses. Moreover, downtime can be reduced ensuring drivers are on the road, earning money!
