Simple, just give a little extra love to your vehicle – check the oil, your tyre pressure, and fuel quantity. These quick checks will make sure you have a smooth, hassle-free trip without your vehicle breaking down.
Plan your route in advance so you can decide when may be the best time to head out. For instance, you could save an hour or two going in off-peak traffic hours.
Be an Accurate Map-reader
If in the rare case your GPS breaks down, then we hope you will have an old-school paper map on board. And if not, we recommend you get one. You never know when your map-reading skills may come in handy!
Be Your Customer’s Best Friend
Although you will be on the road mostly, there may be times when you interact with a customer. You, my friend, will be representing your company – so, don’t forget to smile and to be friendly☺️If you ever come across a challenging customer, here’s what you do: stay calm, patient and hear them out. Tell them that you will do what you can to solve the problem. We know you got this!
