Got Critical Deliveries? You Can’t Afford an LTL Carrier
If you have critical deliveries that need to move within North Texas, outside city limits, or even outside of the country, you might be quickly weighing your options for logistics. You have one of the Big Three providers that offer a menu of services and little else. You can hand your critical deliveries over to an employee- keep it in house. If they run into trouble, get in an accident, or damage their personal vehicle, you’ll have some messy paperwork. Or, you can hand your cargo off to an LTL carrier. After all, this saves you cash, right? Your courier will pick up your delivery (and twenty others), deliver them one by one (hopefully to the right location), toss your box in the general direction of the drop off location and wipe their hands clean of the responsibility so they can move on to the next delivery on their manifest.
Yikes.
Can you afford the mess that comes from an LTL courier?
A quick search of social media will tell you what happens when you entrust cargo to a Big Name delivery team or an LTL. Personally, this author received a bouquet of roses that were DOA because the carrier left them at the front office door of an apartment building on Friday evening of a three day weekend. (That didn’t make for a happy Valentine’s Day.)
So what do you do with critical deliveries when you can’t afford more than an LTL? That’s a trick question. Because you simply can’t afford an LTL.
The drawbacks far outweigh the benefits. Instead, get it right the first time. A dedicated courier like Dallas Courier is prepared to take on the responsibility of your critical deliveries and transport them with success and speed the first time. No reparations costs. No mileage reports. No dead flowers at the front door step of an apartment office building.
Here’s why it’s cost effective to spend a little more and go with a dedicated courier like Dallas Courier for your critical cargo in Dallas Fort Worth:
Critical deliveries move your way with a dedicated courier.
Sensitive, fragile, temperature specific. No matter how your stuff needs to move, wouldn’t it be nice if it moved the way you want it to? An LTL load might say your cargo is moving your way, but when there are several other loads sharing the same cargo space, how can that be possible?
Instead, a dedicated courier moves your delivery, and your delivery only. The single focus remains on the success of your delivery.
A dedicated courier retains responsibility of your delivery only.
LTL loads are often consolidated and moved from one vehicle to another. Sometimes, they’re even contracted out to a third party. Where does the responsibly lie if something were to happen to your cargo during the process?
A dedicated courier like Dallas Courier takes responsibility for your load from start to finish. Your items remain under the care of our courier, shortening the chain of responsibility. Speaking of responsibility, all Dallas Courier drivers, vehicles, and items in our care are covered by a full suite of insurance, backed by A rated providers. If something unforeseen were to happen during the delivery process, we’re able to quickly make reparations.
Quality care at fair prices beats LTL deliveries.
If you think you’re saving money utilizing an LTL courier, the real question to ask yourself is this: Can you really afford an LTL delivery? The risks far outweigh the money you’ll save when you give your cargo to a courier that will consolidate it and add it to the chaos of multiple other deliveries.
Instead, consider the quality care you’ll receive from a dedicated courier. And if your courier is Dallas Courier, you’re getting superior customer attention, white glove services, responsible insurance policies, and trained professionals- all at a fair price with a success guarantee.
You can’t afford not to go with a quality, dedicated courier for your critical deliveries.
