One of the peeves of being a delivery driver is that you
leave with more stuff than you departed with. It feels like you’ve never left
and that you haven’t done the job at all. But that’s logistics for you. Someone
somewhere has decided that these things need to be elsewhere and you’re the poor
sod that’s got to make it happen. But how it’s done isn’t just up to you. It depends
on how ready everyone is; whether it’s a late departure of a traffic jam that
holds you up; or a decision that you take which could delay your arrival time. Then
there’s the availability at the other end. Are there people to assist you or
people dependent on a particular time? Have you got to unload then replenish
yourself? Have you got room for everything? And how will this affect the rest
of your journey? Still, that’s logistics for you.
