Qualified Drivers Deliver Value
When you’re making a delivery to a customer’s home, it’s important that you have qualified drivers who will represent your brand well. Finding these drivers can be a tedious task, but we have a dedicated recruitment team that follows our industry-leading screening and onboarding processes so you can rest easier knowing industry professionals are handling your merchandise and deliveries with care.
Industry-Leading Safety Standards
Training delivery teams in proper safety and security standards can be seen as costly and time-consuming if you’re doing it on your own. We keep safety top-of-mind by setting up comprehensive safety and security protocols that are constantly refreshed throughout our team’s employment.
We also take it a step further by utilizing certified identity verification technology and holographic badges for our delivery teams. Once a team member’s identity is verified, the badges provide, at a glance, a name and expiration date to confirm identity, along with a holographic watermark to ensure authenticity. This helps provide your business with an extra layer of security in the last mile of your merchandise journey.
Investment in Equipment and Maintenance
Equipment can be a big contributor to the costs for your business. Working with a stable last-mile delivery provider who has made investments in equipment and has the experience to plan for the unexpected saves you from dealing with upkeep and the costs that come with owning your own equipment.
We have access to specialized equipment that we can utilize to support your operations, like ramps, liftgates, box trucks and dry van trailers. Whatever delivery need your business has, we have the equipment to fit it.
