A key role in parcel delivery
Parcel delivery is now a central element of the customer experience and of the performance of transport companies. At Colis Privé, the delivery drivers, working through a partner company, play an essential role in the quality of the delivery service offered to customers throughout Belgium and Luxembourg.
Each workday is structured around specific steps, combining parcel sorting, organization of the delivery route, transport, customer interaction and digital tracking of documents. The typical day of a Colis Privé driver illustrates the rigor and professionalism required to ensure reliable, efficient and customer‑focused delivery.

Preparation,parcel sorting, and route planning
The day begins with a crucial step: preparing and sorting the parcels. Upon arrival, the Colis Privé driver reviews the delivery route and the orders to be processed. The parcels are sorted precisely according to key criteria: geographic area, delivery sequence, weight and volume.
This sorting work optimizes the loading of the vehicle and ensures smooth operations throughout the route. The largest or heaviest parcels are strategically positioned to ensure safe handling and facilitate delivery at the customer’s home.
At the same time, the driver checks the delivery documents, which are now mostly digital. This early organization is essential for guaranteeing service reliability, reducing errors and offering a smooth customer experience from the first delivery onwards.

Starting the delivery route
Once the sorting is complete and the vehicle loaded, the driver begins their delivery route. Each delivery is carried out according to the planned schedule, taking into account time constraints, known customer expectations and the specific features of each delivery option.
The driver’s mission is to transport the parcels to customers’ homes or to alternative delivery solutions provided by the company. Each delivery is validated through digital tools, ensuring precise tracking of orders and full traceability of the service.
This phase represents the core of the Colis Privé driver’s job. Punctuality, accuracy and compliance with procedures are essential to guarantee service quality.
-
Handling Unexpected Situations and Delivery Solutions
The driver’s role requires strong adaptability. Despite an optimized organization, unexpected situations may occur: customer absence, difficult access to the home, or constraints related to parcel size or weight.
In such cases, the driver—often working with a high degree of autonomy—applies the delivery solutions prescribed by Colis Privé. These may include rescheduling the delivery, redirecting the parcel to a pickup point, or any other solution ensuring the order is safely handled.
This proactive approach directly contributes to customer satisfaction and to the overall quality of the delivery experience.
-
Customer Relationship and Service Experience
The delivery driver is a key player in customer relations. They represent the company in the field and embody the quality of the services offered by Colis Privé. Each interaction influences the customer experience, whether it involves a successful delivery or the handling of a special situation.
Professionalism, courtesy and clear communication are essential to establishing long‑lasting trust. The driver does more than transport parcels: they actively contribute to the perception of the service and to customer loyalty.
-
End of Route and Digital Processing of Documents
At the end of the day, the Colis Privé driver completes the delivery round. Information about completed deliveries, undelivered parcels and possible returns is entered into the company’s management systems.
Digital documents allow for precise tracking of orders, improved coordination with the team and continuous optimization of the organization. This step is essential for effectively preparing the next day’s deliveries.
An Organization Focused on Delivery and Customer Satisfaction
The typical day of a Colis Privé driver relies on a precise and demanding organization: parcel sorting, order preparation, transport, home delivery, handling unforeseen situations and digital processing of documents.
Thanks to a structured service offering, a committed team and adapted logistics solutions, Colis Privé ensures a high‑performing delivery experience every day, benefiting both customers and partners.
