5 Ways to Vet Your Prospective Courier in Dallas
Hiring is so stressful, isn’t it? We always give advice to the job candidate to prepare, stay calm, and succeed during the hiring process, but what about the organization that’s hiring? It’s tough for them, too!
When you’re looking to hire a courier in Dallas, it pays to be prepared. While we recommend hiring Dallas Courier for your logistics services, of course, even if you don’t go with our organization, we want you to find a quality courier who can take care of your storing and shipping needs.
Here are 5 ways to vet your prospective courier in Dallas:
Read Reviews
When you’re looking to try a new restaurant, or you’re searching for the best reasonably priced hotel in a hot vacation spot, you consult the internet, right? The first thing you’re going to do is check their reviews. What do current and past customers have to say? This is a fantastic way to get the real scoop regarding your prospective courier in Dallas.
Watch out, though! As we all know, not everything you read on the internet is true. A disgruntled client doesn’t always mean poor service. So take those reviews with a grain of salt.
Check Out Their Online Presence
Speaking of checking the web, while you’re there, why not head over to the organization’s website or social media pages? If your courier doesn’t have a strong presence online, it’s ok to question their ability to serve your needs. You need a courier who utilizes state of the art technology, offers you online tracking, and intuitive scheduling platforms. While it’s not a deal-breaker, if your courier’s online presence isn’t impressive, you might need to do a little more digging to go with option #2.
Call Them Up
Calling your prospective courier seems like a no-brainer, basic way to vet them. But calling can actually give you a lot of information about your pick! Do they answer the phone when you call? Seems basic, but knowing your courier will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week can provide peace of mind for those unexpected delivery emergencies. Does your courier seem friendly and knowledgeable upon answering? This first-line customer service is an indication of what’s to come in your relationship with your prospective courier in Dallas.
Ask Questions
Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Find out what kinds of services your courier offers. Do they have in-house employees or third party contracts? Is there an on-site warehouse? Do they have refrigerated vehicles? Are they properly insured and licensed for all kinds of deliveries- including medical and food transportation? These questions, and more, are essential to as before committing to a courier.
Ask for a Meeting
Check them out on the internet, call them up, ask them questions, but the true test will be meeting them in person. The right courier will be willing to set up a meeting with you to show you the storage space or the vehicles being used. The right courier in Dallas has nothing to hide, and is willing to create time and logistics operations that suit you, specifically. They’re professional in appearance and behavior.
