A New Study Found Something Disturbing About the Way Delivery Workers Drive to Get You Your Burrito
""I don't pay a lot of attention to my arrival time history, but it kind of bothers me that to be on time for about 75 percent of my trips, I'd have to exceed the speed limit rather a little bit.""
"The main motivation to speed was the on-time delivery rate. Miss enough of them, and drivers face deactivation. Job factors were a much bigger deal than individual attitudes."
Delivery drivers face significant pressure from aggressive driving conditions and the demands of their job. A study reveals that the primary reason for speeding among drivers is the need to maintain on-time delivery rates, which are crucial for job security. Factors such as personal attitudes towards speeding are less influential. The apps used by drivers not only track delivery times but also monitor their speed, further contributing to the pressure to deliver quickly and efficiently.
