Dedicated Courier Service

 

With Continental Dedicated Courier Service, routes are assigned to provide delivery and/or pick-up of inbound and/or outbound items from stops determined by our clients within the timetable specified. The stops are recurring and regular. We schedule service based upon the client's expected service timetable, not our own.


Services may be provided on a daily basis or on a modified weekly schedule, but is always on a regular, routed schedule. We have the capability to provide this service 24 hours per day, Monday through Friday. That's dedicated courier service you can count on.

 

Parcel Distribution Routes

 

When it comes to flex freight, the shipping volumes are inherently irregular and often unpredictable. Capacity planning is difficult, but under our dedicated distribution service model, we ensure proper logistics execution. We work with finite service zones, only employ highly experienced drivers and are always prepared to handle any unexpected overflow freight.


Sorting, staging, and loading of freight in a timely manner is just as critical as getting the materials to their destination. We assure that the routes have adequate time to complete daily work volumes. Electronic data interchange between the shipper & we will allow for seamless integration of delivery locations/volumes and enhance our ability to achieve route maximization. That's flex freight you can count on.

 

Expedited Services

 

Also known as our "hot freight" service, this is for when you need a shipment to go from here to there in a direct, dedicated manner. When a need strikes, usually due to extraordinary performance demands you incur from your customers, just give us a call. It’s a high-profile movement and there is no acceptable margin for service failure.


This is also an operationally intensive service because dispatch is required to provide on-going order tracking from pick-up through delivery with live proof of delivery confirmation to you immediately upon retrieval. Fortunately, our technology and expertise is equipped to handle such intense circumstances. That's expedited service you can count on.

Mail Track

We send out alerts internally so that employees know when they have a package waiting for them. And we keep the track live until that package is signed, sealed, delivered.


Our mail tracking suite also allows internal employees to print barcodes and apply them to packages of all kinds. By scanning the barcode and entering it into our tracking system, the details of the package will be saved, helping to ensure proper delivery. That's mail tracking you can count on.
