Async curl request in PHP

Question

I'm executing two curl post requests in PHP. Here's how they look like:

//Onfleet API credentials 
$username = 'xxxxx'; 
$api_onfleet = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';    
$url_onfleet = "https://onfleet.com/api/v2/tasks";

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2);
    $request =  $url.'api/mail.send.json';

    // Generate curl request
    $session = curl_init($request);
    // Tell curl to use HTTP POST
    curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    // Tell curl that this is the body of the POST
    curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
    // Tell curl not to return headers, but do return the response
    curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    // obtain response
    $response = curl_exec($session);
    curl_close($session);


     // Post the Pickup task to Onfleet
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url_onfleet);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $api_onfleet);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "");  
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{"destination":{"address":{"unparsed":"'.$pickup_address.'"},"notes":"'.$comments.'"},"recipients":[{"name":"'.$name.'","phone":"+61'.$phone.'","notes":"Number of riders: '.$riders.'"}],"completeBefore":'.$timestamp.',"pickupTask":"yes","autoAssign":{"mode":"distance"}}');

    $result_pickup = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    // Post the Dropoff task to Onfleet
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url_onfleet);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $api_onfleet);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "");  
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{"destination":{"address":{"unparsed":"'.$dropoff_address.'"},"notes":"'.$comments.'"},"recipients":[{"name":"'.$name.'","phone":"+61'.$phone.'","notes":"Number of riders: '.$riders.'"}],"autoAssign":{"mode":"distance"}}');

    $result_dropoff = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);

They are working, but sometimes, the second curl post request is not executed.

I'd like to execute this two requests at the same time.

How can I do that? Please note that they take different options in the postfields.

Thanks for your help!
