I encountered a problem When I was learning the Tutorial Task 2.2 - Create Coordinated Loading Tasks (flexsim.com)
https://docs.flexsim.com/en/22.1/Tutorials/TaskLogic/Tutorial2CoordinatedTasks/2-2CoordinatedTasks/2-2CoordinatedTasks.html
From the third task, the two operators began to be out of sync.

Someone suggested me to modify the offset of the operators but it didn't work.

The travel task has a default end speed equal to the operator's max speed. This means, if a travel activity is followed by another one without delay, the next travel task will have the operator start to travel at maximum speed immediately.
The 'main' operator's speed is always set back to 0 due to the load/unload task. However, if the 'assisting' operator arrives second, it will immediately resume it's travel to the next destination (if there is a task pending). So while the main operator has to accelerate, the assisting one sometimes starts at max speed and thus a gap is created.
To fix this (though both operators clipping into each other isn't necessarily more realistic/correct), you can add a small delay time after the travel tasks of the assisting operator to reset it's speed.

Note: The delay time in the attached model shows as '0'. This is due to the default decimal precision being 2. The actual value entered is 0.0001.
