Straight out of the Runners Inc., (Gaithersburg, Md.) spring newsletter, a courier tells his story about how it takes a lot more than natural elements to slow down. Read all about it in the release below:
Snow, sleet, rain, hail or deer can't stop our drivers when they're providing pick-up and delivery services. This past December, Alfred Koroma, one of our drivers was en-route with a DIRECT RUSH DELIVERY (pick-up and deliver ASAP, non-stop, within 60-90 minutes).
Without any warning, a deer jumped on his car, broke the front windshield and smashed the roof in. A shaken Alfred immediately alerted Runners' dispatcher about the accident since he was unable to continue with the delivery. When we asked Alfred if he could tell us what it felt like when the deer hit his car he said, "I didn't know what hit me since I never saw the deer until it landed on my car. I was very upset but able to keep control of my car and get it to the curb before stopping. I was very lucky to escape unharmed." Another driver was quickly dispatched to pick up the package and the interrupted delivery was made only a few minutes later than promised
I'm sure this isn't the first story you have heard where the commitment of a courier company shines through for its customers. Many messengers and logistics operations go above and beyond the call of duty everyday to ensure each shipment.
If you've got a story, we want to hear from you!
