In brief

How does a direct courier run work?: when does it fit?

Direct does not mean that traffic disappears. The real road can have congestion or other delays. The system therefore includes additional reserve.

Allow enough time at origin and destination. A late handover at collection can shift the later timing.

After origin and destination are entered, the system checks the route. Only then are the times shown that fit driving time, reserve and handover.

The shipment should be fully ready before collection. A clear receiving point at the destination helps prevent avoidable waiting during the direct run.
