I am not sure if this happens with other tribes but I notice that with Frisians sometimes there are extra carriers on a section of very busy road but they are idle instead of helping o carry wares. Any idea how to fix this? See this screenshot where there is a carrier and a reindeer idling in the middle of the road while a third carrier is doing all the work by himself.

I have encountered this across the other tribes, sometimes it's hilarious
and sometimes it's frustrating, the best way I have found to fix it is to remove the road and replace
it, this causes the carriers to return to the nearest warehouse and a new carrier will be
assigned. Though I am not sure this is the best solution, it works for me.

The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!
