Keeping Drivers and the Community Safe During the Pandemic

摘要

When the COVID-19 crisis began earlier this year, it was imperative for Syfan Logistics—an essential provider in the delivery of food, medicine, and other critical supplies—to protect its drivers and community. To ensure this happened (and continues to happen), Syfan implemented a few simple, common-sense practices in the everyday shipping and receiving of goods, from the pickup point through final delivery. When a truck driver arrives at a food facility to pick up a shipment, he or she typically has two primary interactions. First, the driver must pass through a security gate with proper authorization. Typically, this does not involve the driver leaving the truck, but it sometimes happens. Next, the driver enters the facility's shipping office. Often, the office is crowded with other drivers from multiple regions and states who are verifying their loads and receiving their load or unload instructions. There are also multiple tasks that usually involve several more points of contact, such as filling out forms and sealing trailers to ensure the safety of food and other shipments.
