YOUR TOP COURIER FAQ ANSWERED

Today, more than ever, we must rely on highly effective logistics for businesses to keep moving smoothly. Nonetheless, there are still many questions that business owners and managers have regarding shipping in-house versus hiring a third-party courier service company.

Below are the answers to some of the most asked questions in the courier industry. Get informed and make the most cost-effective and efficient decision for your business today!

• ARE COURIER COMPANIES INSURED?

Yes, a reputable courier company is both licensed and insured to deliver parcels. The risk of using an unlicensed courier is high, as your packages could get lost and stolen. An uninsured courier cannot guarantee that the packages will reach their destination, and if they do, they may be damaged.

At Priority One Courier and Logistics, we carry Liability Insurance. In addition, we have all the necessary local licenses. We are registered with the Department of Transportation, California Highway Patrol, and all other agencies required. Our drivers have verified DMV records and receive safety training. They are highly qualified to deliver your parcels on demand.
