Start 2025 Right: Choosing the BEST Courier
There’s nothing quite like the bright freshness of a new year. You can feel 2025 brimming with expectation and excitement as if it’s about to spill over with the best ideas, hopeful endeavors, new ventures and plenty of big and small goals alike.
What I love about the start of a new year is that the excitement is never limited to only one sphere. People are making goals for their careers, finances, physical bodies, friendships, families, mental health, emotional health, intellectual health – EVERYTHING is subject to growth at the beginning of a new year.
Have you ever noticed that there’s a group of naysayers about new years resolutions? Some people have outright hate for resolving to do something new or better. And I can understand where the disdain stems from. They’ve witnessed in their own lives the frustration of setting goals and not meeting them or watching someone they love set a goal and fall short. But does this frustrating part of goal setting mean we should never aim to achieve?! Hardly! It means we should aim to achieve all the more. We should set goals that are truly attainable. Instead of saying “I will exercise for 45 minutes every day of the week,” set an attainable goal of “I will start by exercising 4 times per week, 20 minutes each time.” Ah, much more manageable. We’ve all heard the old adage – set SMART goals.
S - specific
M – measurable
A – achievable
R – relevant
T – time based
Our goals must be able to be accomplished. If I set them well outside of my personal capacity, that’s when goals become noise in my life instead of momentum fueling my life.
I want to challenge you with something this year – evaluate your business vendor relationships. If you’ve never used a 24 hour courier service in Dallas/Fort Worth, ask yourself if this is the year. Do your research. Commit to stop doing DIY deliveries and outsourcing to an expert. If you’re already using a courier service in Dallas, ask yourself if you’re using the best courier in DFW for your needs. I recommend asking the following questions:
1. Do they offer a variety of services? You should see various offerings on their website from refrigerated logistics to scheduled route deliveries Dallas to specialty deliveries like pharmaceuticals and food/beverage, 24/7/365 deliveries, out of town deliveries like Dallas to Houston and Dallas to Oklahoma – variety of services means you will be well cared for no matter what your particular need.
2. Do they have a fast response time? If they are slow to respond to a question, will they be slow to deliver for you? Be looking for someone who is quick to respond whether that is through their website, a phone call or an email.
3. Does their technology give you confidence or concern? How user friendly is their website? Is there a chat option available? Do they have easy online ordering? Is there an app? Is there a client log-in? Excellent technology is needed for excellent logistics, so a company’s website, app and communications better signal to you that they stay up to date with the latest technology.
4. Do they have local roots? Local actually does matter. Just about anyone can start a business just about anywhere. But when you look for the local people who have been around for decades, the proof is in the pudding so to speak. If they have been around for decades, it means people trust them. It means they know the Metroplex like the back of their hand. They aren’t new to the DFW landscape.
5. Do they have longevity? Not only are local roots important, but time tested service matters. What can you trust more – a logistics company that started 6 months ago or one that has been in Dallas for more than 40 years? Dallas Courier has 40 years of local roots. The leadership core has been in place for many decades. They are expert at logistics and excellent customer service. We have grown with the Metroplex, with our client base and expanded services with each passing year.
Make 2025 the year for a logistics partnership that will benefit you each and every day. Save time, save money, save mental energy by choosing Dallas Courier for all of your delivery needs!
