CUSTOMER_DIRECTIVE

Notes about how the delivery should take place. Can be a note from the customer about where to deliver the package or what to do if they are not home.

To preserv linebreaks, use "\n" so the driver sees the message the same way it was written.

Sanitize
Remember to sanitize the data. Would be wise to use quotes and to replace double-quotes in the comment with single-quote.

Example:
This unquoted with problem-characters (;) is INVALID:
User's; "comment"
By adding quotes and replace double with single it's VALID:
"User's; 'comment'"

Note: For this field to be helpful, the drivers must understand the customer's language.
