What is Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)? Setting Customer Expectations for Delivery<\/b><\/h2>\n

  • The remaining distance to the customer’s address.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Current traffic conditions often leverage integrated mapping services.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The driver’s planned route and any remaining stops before the final destination.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
