I have been a ride share driver for almost three years. While I like the ride share concept, I truly hate it's implementation and the way Uber and Lyft have so little regard for their work force. I am for the little guy. I seek to right injustice and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. It's usually the ones you find hardest to love that need it the most. Please enjoy my opinion and if you like (or even if you just welcome the effort), an upvote is a digital pat on the back and is most appreciated. I invite you to read my other comments and upvote them as well. Thanks

I thought it was the status of a driver who is in middle of a UberEats fare.
It could be that as well. In fact it could apply to any delivery situation where the driver is on his “last mile” of delivery.
Have you ever had a package say "out for delivery" but then it never comes. So frustrating. I think sometimes the truck driver doesn't get to all the deliveries on his truck for the day.
Delivery services are bound by a lot of rules. Sometimes addressing anomalies and acceptance requirements not being met necessitate the return of the item to the hub for reprocessing. It will usually come corrected the next day or at least an explanation.
That happens because they stack the truck with more packages than they can possibly deliver. It's all a matter of scheduling. Sometimes the truck driver has a smooth day, and they can deliver extra packages. Sometimes, he has a rough day and may not get to all deliveries.
