How to evaluate a commercial courier

Choosing a commercial courier is a capacity and accountability decision — not a software tour. Evaluate coverage, vehicle classes, proof standards, escalation, and written quotes against your real lanes.

Coverage and vehicle fit

Ask which metros and vehicle classes they run today — cargo van through box truck — and whether they can cover your overflow and recurring lanes with the same partner.

Visibility and proof

Require live tracking and photo or signature proof on every stop. If status lives only in a phone call, you will chase exceptions all day.

Commercial clarity

Prefer written quotes, clear cut-offs, and documented escalation. Avoid vague platform fees or unnamed subcontracting you cannot explain to customers.
