In the US and elsewhere, the pandemic has shown some dangers of too much reliance on JIT, just in time stocking and use.
Just in time income seems to be as risky, if not worse.
In both cases, everything's fine as long as everything's fine.
EDIT: Mildly interesting side note: I'm an OTR semi truck driver. I am sometimes assigned trips that are designated JIT. There is usually a note included with a JIT trip stating that late delivery will result in work stoppage at the destination.

Do these trips pay better for the associated stress on your part?
- a3n 6y agoNo, same pay (but I'm only one guy in one company). And they're really no more stress than any other trip, they just require that you pay a little more attention to your legally available hours, and you communicate any problems immediately, so that CSRs can do what they do. One thing that could happen is that the trailer could be taken from you, and assigned to a different driver who isn't having a problem with legally available hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hours_of_service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hours_of_service
