Package in Peril: How a Walkie Talkie Kept My Delivery on Track During Rush Hour
It was Wednesday afternoon—peak delivery time in downtown Seattle. My van was loaded with fragile packages, and the GPS showed 12 stops in the next hour.
The problem? Traffic jams, road closures, and constantly changing routes. My phone navigator couldn’t keep up, and switching apps while driving wasn’t an option.
That’s when I grabbed my CARRBORG Pro X13 walkie talkie—handy, lightweight, and powered by 4G-LTE. A quick press connected me to dispatch:
“Dispatch, this is Driver 7. Roadblock on Pine & 5th. Need alternate route ASAP.”
Seconds later, a clear voice replied with a detour through a side street. No fumbling with apps. No missed calls. Just one button—and I was back on schedule.
By 5 PM, all 12 deliveries were done, including the “handle-with-care” vase that needed the smoothest ride.
