- When working in remote areas early in the morning or at night, it takes time to detour to Sukagawa IC or Yabuki IC.
- We are considering adjusting delivery times and shifts in which employees on the receiving side come to work early in the morning. Once the system becomes 24-hour, it will be easier to deal with the 2024 logistics problem.
