» Expedited Delivery Services (on call)

Reliable Runners is our name. And our original mission. For over 20 years, we have provided our region’s most efficient on-call courier services, from downtown bicycle messengers and one-hour-or-less guaranteed delivery to dock-high freight and next-available-flight.

From an envelope to a truckload, from around the block to across the country, Reliable Runners will deliver. On time. As promised.


» Fleet Outsourcing Solutions

Consider the immediate and dramatic operating cost savings and reduced liability you could enjoy, by replacing your in-house fleet operations with an outsourced solution from Reliable Runners.

Reliable Runners can become an extension of your business, accommodating business cycle fluctuations seamlessly. You focus on core business concerns, and preserve working capital to support them. Meanwhile the loading, unloading, sorting, dispatching and management of vehicles and drivers is provided with utmost professionalism. We even perform our own fleet maintenance on-site, to minimize driver downtime and assure optimal customer service day or night.

When you really stop and analyze the total cost for vehicle acquisition, fuel, driver and mechanic payroll & benefits, vehicle parts & maintenance, collision & liability insurance, worker’s compensation, management time... Reliable Runners really can transform the cost equation for in-house dispatch and fleet ownership. Even outsourcing your dispatch functions alone can provide substantial savings.

Let us design a customized program for you and compare the savings for yourself!
