3 Ways to Deliver Packages More Efficiently
If you’re a delivery truck driver or a delivery service manager, you’re probably always looking for ways to shave time off your deliveries. Efficiency is the key to a successful delivery service, and that means you want as few mishaps as possible during deliveries. Once you’ve arrived at your delivery destination, improving the quality of the carts you use to deliver the items is the most affordable, most effective way of improving your delivery time.
Get Better Quality Wheels
Order Albion casters or another quality set of casters for every hand truck, dolly, and other wheeled-equipment you use in the course of your deliveries. These durable wheels are more likely to hold up after all of the use these carts get daily. They won’t develop nicks or punctures so easily, which can not only slow down a delivery, but can even cause you to lose control of your cart. Better wheels also allow you to safely and efficiently put more on a cart at once, which saves you from making as many trips.
Install Cart Bumpers
When you’re juggling a large load, you can’t always see everything in your path, especially things close to the ground. Running into something slows you down and can even make you liable for damages. Install bumpers on your wheeled equipment so you don’t damage any of your customer’s furnishings, doors, or walls and so it’s safer to operate your carts.
Upgrade Your Carts
Often, replacing the casters and keeping a stock of replacements on hand is more effective and more affordable than replacing the carts entirely, but there may be some advantages to upgrading your carts as well. More wheels or more weight capacity will reduce the number of trips you need to take.
