Drivers in courier and delivery service play an important role in making the world move faster. Competent designated drivers in major delivery services encompass a wealth of experience and training and are able to apply the latest technologies as an integral part of transportation. They are not just ordinary drivers who simply pick up and drop off packages, but work with absolute dedication to meet the constant challenges of logistics services, including deadlines and schedules. Eventually, delivery service drivers are among the key indirect factors that decide the success of a corporate business. They can drive all types of cars from light trucks, vans to box trucks, also known as dock trucks in some parts of the country.

Drivers may not always be treated as well as a banker or accountant. But they have a tremendous responsibility in carrying out their work. They have to fight traffic all day, which is more stressful than staying inside an office and analyzing the financial conditions of a business. Even then, there are plenty of drivers in the courier service industries who have been serving the industry for decades.
