### Planning courier movements realistically

Courier planning starts before the vehicle moves. This hub explains how route, timing, collection windows, delivery windows, buffers and handovers interact. The pages identify common planning errors and show which information should be clarified early. The objective is a realistic process that does not reduce the shipment to distance or driving time alone.

For a specific movement, collection point, destination, requested time, weight, dimensions and vehicle class must be assessed together. Traffic, access, loading conditions and regional constraints can also affect the plan. The knowledge pages provide DACH-level guidance, while live availability and booking are verified on the relevant country sites. Tight time windows make it particularly important to distinguish loading and handover time from pure driving time.
