 Scheduled courier service is just what it sounds like. This is an arrangement with a courier company where they will make pickups from your location on a regular basis. How often those pickups are made is going to be up to you and the needs of your business. For instance, you might have pickups made once a month, every week, every second day, or every single morning.

 One of the great things about scheduled deliveries is that they are extremely reliable. This is often especially true when working with smaller courier companies. You see, with smaller couriers, there may be times when you can’t access a last minute courier service because the vehicles that the courier has at their disposal are all already committed to other deliveries. This can leave your products stranded. However, if you have scheduled service, the courier company will already have your business scheduled for a pickup. All you have to do is have the package(s) ready!

 One of the biggest benefits of scheduled courier services is that you can actually save your business money in the long run. Many couriers offer discounted rates for scheduled service. Aside from that, if you have a scheduled courier service coming to a business, you make sure that everything is ready for pickup at your specified time. This is a benefit because many companies that don’t use scheduled services will call for a pickup, only to find out later that they have another package to ship. This results in the business paying for two separate pickups.

 Finally, using this type of service can assist you in keeping your company organized. When you’re forced to always have products ready at the same time, you ensure that targets are met regularly in order to keep your customers’ supply chain flowing smoothly. This makes your company look like a smooth and efficient organization, increasing the customers’ satisfaction and overall outlook on your business.

 Until next time,

Eric

Hot Shot Delivery, “the Smart Choice”!

At Hot Shot Delivery, we understand that shipping legal documents can represent a very large investment to a company. Depending on why the documents are being shipped, the degree of importance which is assigned to security might vary. For instance, some basic legal contracts which are simply replicas of a standard contract that a company sends out regularly, might not warrant increased security. Documents which are involved in large corporate acquisitions though, or which contain production information which needs to remain confidential within the company, are certainly worthy of any increased security measures which might be available from the courier industry.

There are two things that need to be protected against when shipping legal documents. The first is anything which could cause these documents to become lost, or to be delivered to the wrong address. The second is anything which would allow the information contained in the documents to get exposed to the wrong eyes. Luckily, both of these problems can be countered with the same security measures.

By using an in hand courier option, you know that your legal documents are going to be afforded the highest level of security available. By ensuring that a single, unbroken chain of custody is enforced on the documents, you know that you are getting a secure delivery of your package. Primarily, this is because this model of delivery creates accountability. There are no hand offs or transfers where documents can get lost, and when only one set of eyes sees the documents, confidentiality can be assured. If you need to deliver highly sensitive or valuable legal documents across the city or the world, give Hot Shot Delivery a call at 866-261-3184 or 713-869-7575. We have the resources to deliver your shipments safely and securely.

At Hot Shot, we provide customers with the highest possible guarantee that their delivery needs will always be met thanks to the technology that we utilize every day. The best way of demonstrating this is in the real world results that we have achieved for our clients.

If you visit the courier page of the Hot Shot website, you can read a case study of one of our clients, an architectural firm. They had been suffering through using a provider who was late for pickups, who lost orders, and who had terrible problems coordinating the different aspects of their service with the requirements of the architectural firm.

Not so once they turned to Hot Shot. By using the technology available through us, they are able to securely place their orders online. These orders are processed, and through the vast network of available couriers there is always a driver ready to pick up their order on time, every time. Once their order is picked up, they can track it throughout its delivery, reassuring themselves that it is progressing to its delivery point on time.

This firm was suffering because their business needed a same day courier that could provide them with a reliable and easy to use service, and they just couldn’t find one. Hot Shot addressed that need. It is through the use of technology, software, and a problem solving approach that Hot Shot is able to meet the delivery needs of our clients. Our clients, just like the architectural firm outlined in the case study, are able to move forward to meet their own clients’ needs with confidence knowing that they have the resource that Hot Shot provides, backing up their work. If your company is unsatisfied with its current same day delivery solution, call Hot Shot Delivery to see what we can offer you instead.

 There are many areas that are focused on within this division. Making sure the drivers understand how important it is to follow all regulations is key, as is making sure that all the proper licenses and permits are maintained at all times.

There are other courier companies who do know the regulations, but for one reason or another are simply unable to seemingly follow them to the letter. Hot Shot Delivery ensures that all employees follow all regulations to the letter. We also stay on top of the latest changes to the industry by ensuring that thorough training is always completed. We train through the services offered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This allows us access to the best training possible for medical deliveries.

The training that the drivers receive goes beyond just the rules and regulations regarding specific medical deliveries. They are also completely trained to make them the most effective couriers possible. This includes training them in the techniques and methodologies used to ensure the 99.7% on time delivery rate that Hot Shot Delivery maintains. It also includes training in the technologies used at Hot Shot which are a key component to customer satisfaction. This includes the online ordering and tracking systems.
The types of medical deliveries which are completed by Hot Shot Delivery include every type of delivery which occurs within the industry. This might mean that a delivery might be something as innocuous as a drug sample going to a doctor’s office, or blood going to a lab for testing. On the other hand, it could be something quite literally as critical as an organ going to a hospital for transplant, something that could potentially save a life. We recognize just how important high quality medical courier service is, which is why there is always work being done to make sure that the employees handling such deliveries are trained to the highest possible degree.

Until Next Time,

Eric

MCAA stands for the Messenger Courier Association of America. It is an organization that teaches the staff of courier services the ins and outs of pinpointing their success in the industry. One of the biggest objectives of the MCAA is to train courier services on the ability to provide same day and ‘less-than-24-hours’ deliveries. They teach courier companies how to operate on a “just in time” basis and how to ensure the highest quality of respect and candor for a customers’ packages and letters. The goal of the MCAA is to provide the quickest, reliable way to transport items that generally could not be delivered by other means of shipping due to factors such as temperature concerns and time restraints.

Throughout the course of becoming a MCAA member, courier companies endure critical meetings, seminars and testing sessions. Not every courier company has what it takes to be a MCAA member. Courier companies experience the convenience of furthering their staff’s education by putting them through Courier College; this college allows them to gather more education on the business and it is offered completely online. The MCAA offers monthly magazines for constant updates on bettering and retaining the extraordinary ethics it takes to be a MCAA member and courier service provider.

Considering the high level of need for courier services in the Houston area, your best bet is to invest your money into a company you know will go above and beyond your expectations. A MCAA courier service will do just that. Not only will you be completely satisfied with the services you receive, it will eliminate you looking for another courier company the next time you need assistance. If you put courier services to the test, we, as MCAA members, are the best!
