Operating your delivery fleet makes sense—you know your business, customers, and who better to ensure your products reach their destination than your own team? But even the best-run fleets face challenges: Driver shortages, seasonal fluctuations, and unexpected driver vacancies can significantly impact your customer experience and operational success.
What if you could introduce flexibility without disrupting your core operations? Partnering with a trusted final mile logistics provider, like Ziing, compliments your existing team and offers a practical way to enhance fleet capacity while maintaining full control of your team.
Key Challenges for Fleet Managers and Operators:
- Driver Recruitment and Retention - Finding and keeping reliable drivers is tough. Industry-wide shortages, rising wages, and competition for talent make it an ongoing challenge.
- Absences & Scheduling Gaps - Vacations, sick days, and unexpected callouts can throw operations off balance. Having a reliable backup can ease the strain on your team.
- Seasonal Fluctuations - Scaling for peak periods can be tricky. From over hiring and unnecessary overhead to stretching your existing fleet too thin, constant turnover can hurt service levels
- Inconsistent Service - New hires take time to get up to speed, and frequent turnover can impact delivery performance. A steady, experienced team can make all the difference
- The Gig Model - Gig economy services have transformed food delivery but often struggle in the critical parts industry. Driver dissatisfaction with long distances, unsuitable materials, and limited earning potential results in declined jobs and unreliable service for businesses.
