Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flat fee per delivery incentivizes the couriers to make more deliveries, so they are unlikely to want to minimize their number of deliveries. Instead, they will want to make as many prompt and speedy deliveries as possible to increase their earnings. However, this payment policy may incentivize the couriers to take driving risks or drive too fast, which could compromise their safety and the safety of others on the road. The managers should ensure that the couriers understand that safety is a top priority and that they should follow all traffic laws and regulations.
