Independent contract couriers are hired for many specific types of delivery work. There are bank , warehouse, & legal couriers just to name a few. But the type I would like to focus in on right now is the Medical Courier. What we generally do on a daily basis are specimen pickups from doctor’s offices & hospitals. It is crucial that these particular deliveries are transported at the called for temperature & in a timely manner. In order for the labs receiving the specimens to get accurate results from testing, the specimens must maintain their integrity while in transit to the Laboratories.

Then there are the most immanently vital medical deliveries. This would be for instance, a doctor about to perform a surgery that must have immediate supplies that are not readily available in order to successfully complete the operation. It is not uncommon for me as a dispatcher to see an order come up on my board with the instructions; “ Patient on the table deliver ASAP!” It is in those very moments that give me a sense of being involved in something of the utmost importance. I am grateful we have men & women out there ready to move with the urgency required, to get the needed supplies in the hands of the medical professionals. Working together as a team, we can meet any demands we may face with great success for our business, and for our communities as well.
