Minimising Risks in Courier Work: The Paperwork
Delivery receipts are very important in courier work. An industry expert shares tips on how to protect yourself by keeping an eye on the paperwork.
(firmenpresse) - Though paperwork is most people''s least favourite aspect of their job, failing to stay on top of collection notes and delivery receipts is a risk that is not worth taking if you''re undertaking courier work. If a client raises a query about a delivery, the driver could be in big trouble if they cannot provide the right documents.
It Could Happen to You
Cast your mind back to a recent job that you carried out. Perhaps you were delivering a set of cartons to a client
As you did not think to get a proper signature on your delivery ticket, all you can do is state that you did hand over six boxes. Not long after this, you get a formal legal notification which informs you that you are being sued for the worth of the (supposedly) missing carton. Not only is it going to cost you thousands, but a complaint has been made to the police accusing you of theft. Though it sounds unlikely, situations can quickly escalate in courier work, meaning that carelessness over paperwork can end up causing real trouble for you.
Top Tips for Reducing Risk
Here are some simple ways of avoiding the unpleasant situation outlined above.
Dealing with Clients at Drop Off
Every driver who engages in courier work should be alive to the importance of delivery receipts, which can protect you when dealing with a difficult client.
