Starting on your delivery run, especially on a busy night like Halloween, demands extra preparation to remain safe. Ensure to confirm your run a minimum of 48 hours before your scheduled start, providing ample time to prepare and plan. Before you hit the road, sign into the Courier App, and do a quick tech-check: switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, ensuring continuous connectivity during your run.
A fully charged phone, accompanied by a charging cable and potentially a portable charger, will ensure your digital map and communication tool stays alive throughout the night. Staying connected is paramount to helping keep yourself safe.
Visibility: Your Shield in the Dark
As the streets buzz with excitement on the night, visibility becomes paramount for bike and scooter couriers. Donning a helmet, fitting your bike with lights, and wearing a Just Eat reflective jacket not only enhances your visibility but also shields you, ensuring drivers and pedestrians can spot you easily amidst the Halloween hustle. A phone mount can further safeguard your journey, providing a secure and visible map for navigation without distraction whilst also keeping your phone itself secure.
