The Cost of Quality Logistics in Dallas
Admit it. You’ve fallen victim to” The 100 Cent Store”. It’s not called that, but you know what we mean. We’ve all taken a leisurely stroll through those doors, with no real list in mind, and come out with at least $20 worth of stale candy, faux greenery, and greeting cards. (Jokes on all of us! Because everything in the store is now $1.25, but they don’t call it “The 125 Cent Store”!)
It doesn’t take long, though, to realize that, while you have a bag full of loot, what you don’t have is quality. Just ask the kid who buys the knockoff Brick Builder or baby doll for 125 cents, only to have the pieces crack or its arms fall off. It’s easy to be blinded by a price tag. Something might appear to be a great deal, but, as your grandpa always told you, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. See, the truth is…
Quality logistics isn’t free.
As you ponder reasons why you shouldn’t go with the lowest bidder (a la 125 Cent Store Blarbie), consider these aspects of quality that can only be fulfilled by couriers in Dallas who set costs based on quality service:
Fairly Compensated Drivers
Who would you rather handle your sensitive, private, or high value cargo: a poorly paid contract worker? Or a fairly compensated member of a team? One of them certainly has more incentive. At Eagle Express, we believe in hiring and training drivers who want a seat at the table. We compensate them with above average wages, and we remain invested in their future as a contract driver or employee with our company. By investing in our people, we belive they’ll offer our customers quality experiences.
Responsible Insurance Policies
We train and plan for the best, but, should an unforeseen event occur, we’re prepared. A quality courier doesn’t cut corners when it comes to insurance policies. Eagle Express retains responsible policies and protect our people, our vehicles, and your cargo. While we go year after year with zero freight claims, and over 98% on time rates, we know that having responsible insurance helps us keep our promise of quality to our customers.
Maintained Vehicles
From straight trucks to refrigerated vans, the Eagle Express fleet is state of the art, and expertly maintained with preventative maintenance. We know how important it is to have the right vehicle on call when our customers need it. As a courier focused on quality, we take a proactive approach to maintenance, ensuring all our vehicles are serviced and ready so we can get to work when you need us most. This approach requires a focused schedule and additional maintenance costs, but we think it’s worth it when we have your vehicle ready and on time for your super urgent deliveries.
Will your Eagle Express delivery cost be the lowest in the Metroplex? No. But will it be a fair price, for the highest quality experience you’ll receive in the Metroplex? Guaranteed!
Don’t settle for “The 125 Cent Store” policies of couriers who cut costs to offer the lowest prices. We promise it won’t pan out well for you in the end. Instead, ask questions, get to understand your courier’s business model and principles. You can’t put a price on peace of mind that comes from a quality experience with a courier in Dallas.
