Driver shortage in peak season

Carenza di autisti in alta stagione · Transport · Beginner

The case

You are the transport manager of a regional courier. In December volumes rise 40% but you have 3 of 18 drivers on sick leave and can't find C+CQC licensed profiles on the market: the peak lasts 5 weeks. Every uncovered run means 120 undelivered parcels and B2B clients threatening to switch supplier. You can't hire permanent staff for a seasonal peak. How do you cover the missing capacity over the next 5 weeks while respecting driving and rest times?
