Why delivery services ask this
Riders and customers both need the same update. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when assignment notices, arrival messages and handover confirmations stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is orders that move without a phone call. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
