Contact Delivery Biz Pro to get started!

Hiring the Best Cannabis Delivery Drivers

As a cannabis delivery business, you will be judged on a few key items: if you got the order right, if you were on time, and how friendly you were. For a cannabis delivery business, this is a crucial fact since you truly only have this one opportunity to make a lasting impression. Thus, it’s imperative to hire the best delivery drivers. Delivery Biz Pro recommends that you check the driving records of all applicants and call references on their previous driving experience. You want someone who is not only safe but reliable since probably the worst taste you can leave in a customer’s mouth is being late.

Laying the groundwork on condition of employment will be important as well since you can potentially lose your cannabis business license if something is messed up. In most states, cannabis delivery drivers have to be over the age of 21, have a physical address to deliver the cannabis to, and have a copy of the business license with them in the car at all times. Having their driver’s license every day will be important, as will having their employee badge.

Number one to stress when hiring cannabis delivery drivers is that they can under no circumstances use cannabis during working hours. This should be grounds for immediate firing if this rule is broken. Delivery Biz Pro advises you to emphasize that because you are a cannabis delivery business, you will be under more intense scrutiny. Every move counts — literally.

DELIVERY BIZ PRO’S HOME DELIVERY SOFTWARE FOR YOUR CANNABIS DELIVERY BUSINESS

Delivering cannabis can be overwhelming for some drivers, especially if they are not used to following all of the regulations. Ideally, you want someone with experience; however, more importantly, you need someone who is willing to follow the rules.

Luckily, Delivery Biz Pro’s driver management software is here to help. As part of our cannabis delivery software, your drivers will be able to make changes to orders on the fly, collect delivery signatures, get directions, print out receipts, and so much more.

How do you plan routes for your home delivery business? Do you pull out a crinkled old map and carefully plot each point by hand? Chances are you don’t do that, as we all know that would be inefficient and likely full of errors. But are you taking advantage of the technology available to effectively plan your delivery routes? If you’re not using a fully integrated delivery software like Delivery Biz Pro, then you probably are not. 

The Problem With Manual Routing or Free Route Makers

Manual routing is not only time-consuming, it also leaves room for human error. Anytime you need to import addresses one by one into a routing software, you run the risk of accidentally skipping customers, meaning you’re not delivering what people have paid you to do. 

At the same time, most free routing programs only allow you to design a route based on addresses, and cannot accurately account for unexpected road construction, last-minute changes to orders, or anything of the sort. 

In short, this type of route planning doesn’t allow you to empower your drivers like Delivery Biz Pro does. Our software gives drivers the ability to take orders on the road, move routes around heavy traffic without missing any homes, and so much more. 

Choose A Delivery Routing Software That Is Fully Integrated

Delivery routes aren’t just addresses. You need to ensure every aspect of your software is integrated so that a route is planned based on who actually needs a delivery that day and what they ordered. 

Delivery Biz Pro truly does it all. One of the key benefits of DBP software is its ability to generate load and drop sheets with the click of a button. This means your team will be able to load trucks in a first-one-in-last-one-out order that makes drop-offs a breeze. You can also order your load sheets alphabetically, based on the warehouse location, or any other number of arrangements. 

Routes can be designated by region or by day of the week so that customers and drivers have more input about their deliveries. They can also send text alerts to customers to let them know their delivery has been dropped off so that everyone is always kept in the loop — all with one convenient app interface. All of this is done with one goal in mind: to make your business better. 

Using these tools allows you to focus your efforts elsewhere, cut down on delivery costs, and provide better service to your customers. 

Plan Routes With Delivery Biz Pro

Our route planning software makes running a delivery business easy. That’s because we do so much more than just routing! We are your all-in-one software that seamlessly integrates your website, customer communication, payments, inventory management, delivery routing, truck loading, product management, and so much more. 

We would love to show you our delivery routing software in action! Give us a call if you have any questions or fill out our questionnaire to schedule a free demo and see if DBP is the right fit for your business.

Your drivers might be the most important member of your team. Without them, your customers would never get what they ordered. There’s a lot of pressure on drivers to get orders right and get them there on time. If a driver gets lost on the road or drops off the wrong order because of a complicated and poor driver software, the unhappiness of your customers falls back on your company, not on the software that caused the mistake. So, why risk it? Why waste your time, your driver’s time, and your customer’s time with a driver routing software that isn’t cutting it?

At Delivery Biz Pro, we want to empower your drivers. We want to give drivers the tools they need to make order changes on the road, get back on track if they need to make a detour, take payments, skip deliveries, text customers, collect signatures, and more, all with one convenient software that does the hard work for you. Keep reading to learn what these unsung heroes of the delivery world can do with our intuitive driver routing software.

Assign Routes

This is perhaps the most important feature of our routing software. It’s the bread and butter of any driver software: the ability to assign customers to routes in the easiest way possible. Whether you have multiple drivers on the road every day or one driver who delivers to different neighborhoods based on the day of the week, it’s easier than ever to assign drivers to a route.

Ways To Assign Delivery Driver Routes

You can assign routes based on how your business model works. Do you allow customers to choose what day of the week they prefer their deliveries to come on? You can create routes based on the day of the week, so your driver hits all of the Monday houses on Monday, Wednesday houses on Wednesday, and so forth.

You can also assign routes based on neighborhoods or cities. Using our delivery routing software, you can do something as easy as drawing circles on the interactive map which will automatically group customers in that region into their own route. One driver can cover the north side of the town while another covers the south. You can create as many routes as you need based on how many areas you are serving and how much space a driver can cover in a shift.

You can assign routes based on what product is being delivered. Perhaps you have one driver delivering refrigerated goods and another dropping off non-refrigerated products. These drivers can be assigned to their routes, and customers who use both services can be added to multiple routes.

Routes Based On Time Or Distance

Say you’re heading to the airport and you pull up directions on your smartphone. You will almost always be greeted with multiple route options. One route will save you 15 minutes, but you will drive more miles, while the other will save you some gas but take more time. Our driver software has the same features. You can set your system to assign stops based on distance or based on driving time and adjust this at any time while on the road with the touch of a button. Alternately, you can always manually adjust stops by using a ‘drag and drop’ function or by repositioning that stop in the numbered list.

Customers Can Edit Orders While You’re On The Road

If your business model allows it, your customers can adjust their order on the day of the delivery up to a cutoff time that you indicate. When a customer logs into their account, they will be automatically notified if they have missed this cutoff time to avoid any confusion. This is perfect for businesses that deliver a single product, such as water jugs or propane tanks. If a customer remembers at the last minute that they have guests coming into town and will need an extra water jug this week, they can change their order online and your driver will be notified at that stop that they need to drop off an extra jug.

Generate Load And Drop Sheets

Of course, if your team doesn’t know what to load onto the truck, then your delivery driver software might be lacking a crucial feature. Delivery Biz Pro allows you to generate load and drop sheets with the click of a button. These can be printed on paper or viewed electronically based on what is easier for your loading and driving team. Your load sheets can be organized alphabetically, by warehouse location, or by drop location for a first-one-in-last-one-out system. Our software also allows you to print labels with your company logo, the customer’s name and address, order numbers and product information, or whatever else you need to ensure that your driver and routing software is working for your business.

Touch-Screen Tablets For On The Road Changes

Your drivers can use our touch-screen tablets to take charge of their route and deliveries. They can modify orders on the road, add new orders, and leave order notes if needed. They can also collect payments from customers with signatures, print invoices and receipts, skip deliveries based on last-minute changes, and mark deposit returns if your customers are sending back milk bottles, water jugs, or empty propane tanks.

Overview

We know that was a lot of information! We’ve made a helpful infographic to help you process how many great benefits our routing software offers.
