Adhering to strict time schedules to ensure timely collections and deliveries.
Conducting daily vehicle inspections and reporting any maintenance issues promptly.
Maintaining accurate logs of your driving hours in compliance with regulations.
Adapting to route changes and unexpected situations, such as traffic or weather conditions.
