Summary
A profession that transports and delivers packages to specified locations and reliably hands them over to customers.
Description
Messengers collect specified packages and deliver them to destinations using transportation methods such as automobiles, bicycles, or on foot. They handle a wide range of tasks including planning delivery routes, safe driving, package handling, slip processing, and handover to customers. They must complete deliveries on time while adapting to changes such as bad weather or traffic congestion. Since there are many opportunities for direct interaction with customers, courteous service and communication skills are also important. Work may include shift systems, early morning deliveries, or nighttime deliveries.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of the e-commerce market, delivery demand is on an increasing trend. While unmanned delivery and autonomous driving technologies will advance operational efficiency, personnel with customer service skills and flexibility will continue to be needed.
