Blue Streak Couriers (Orlando) has been recognized as a recipient of the 2011 Florida Companies to Watch award, an honor presented by GrowFL, the Florida Economic Gardening Institute at the University of Central Florida and ACG Florida, in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation. Fifty companies from across the state of Florida will receive their awards at an awards gala on Thursday, Feb.17 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando.
Florida Companies to Watch is an awards program that celebrates privately held second-stage companies headquartered in the state. To be eligible, applicants must employ between six and 99 full-time equivalent employees and have between $750,000 and $50 million in annual revenue or working capital in place. Award winners are selected for demonstrating the intent and capacity to grow based on employee or sales growth, exceptional entrepreneurial leadership, sustainable competitive advantage or other notable strengths.
Blue Streak is a Jacksonville-based transportation company with the capability to provide same-day, same-market delivery service throughout the southeastern United Sates. From On-demand, Routed/Scheduled, Next Flight Out, Critical Parts/Warehousing and Distribution services, Blue Streak can deliver a wide variety of items according to specific client needs and time requirements.
The two very important components to Blue Streak’s success are professional drivers and technology.
The drivers serve as ambassadors not only of the Blue Streak brand, but also of the client companies they serve. To maintain the image of professionalism, preference is given to mature, professional ladies and gentlemen with experience in the transportation industry. All drivers wear a full uniform, including picture identification. They are licensed and insured and pass an extensive background check prior to initiating service.
The second, equally important component is how Blue Streak leverages technology. Not only can clients enter requests electronically, but they can elect to receive email confirmations upon each step of the delivery cycle: order submission, pick-up, and delivery. This feature provides full visibility of shipments with real-time information. This allows customers to focus on their core competencies instead of worrying about deliveries. Additionally, clients can receive invoices electronically and pay via ACH.
