Thus, working conditions for own-account and third-party delivery drivers differ. Own-account
drivers are often given additional responsibilities beyond driving. During deliveries of
wholesale intermediate goods, drivers are sometimes required to receive payment for the
delivery, and even label merchandise. Drivers for construction materials wholesalers have a
central role in expanding business, as they are responsible for spotting new construction
sites during their deliveries. This information is passed on to sales staff, who then approach
these potential new clients.
