8. A Busy Morning Route
Marta works for a small logistics company. Every morning, she arrives at the warehouse at 7 o’clock. She checks the delivery list, looks at the addresses, and chooses the best route. Marta usually drives a white van. She doesn’t carry very heavy goods, but she delivers boxes, documents, small machine parts, and online orders.
Her first customer is a café in the city centre. The café opens at 8 o’clock, so Marta always goes there first. After that, she drives to a small auto repair shop. The mechanics need new brake pads and filters before lunch. Then she delivers two boxes to a hotel near the train station.
Marta doesn’t like traffic jams, so she avoids the main road in the morning. She uses a side street and saves time. Sometimes customers call her and ask, “Where is my delivery?” Marta always answers politely: “I’m on my way.”
She finishes most morning routes before 12 o’clock.
