Many times when someone is preparing their shipment and are ready to call their regular courier company, they begin to worry about what kind of vehicle they should request to transport their goods. While the average Los Angeles courier service certainly would allow you to hire whatever vehicle you want, unless you're experienced in the shipping industry you don't really stand to gain much by this request. Instead, your best option is to carefully discuss with your account representative at your local city courier service exactly what your shipping requirements are going to be. By telling them what you have to ship, what size it is, what weight it is, and where it has to go and how fast it has to get there, the courier company should be able to make the best recommendations for you in terms of what vehicle they will ship your product in order to provide you with the most expedient and the most cost effective method of transport.
Almost any good and reputable courier service of any size is going to have many kinds of vehicles in their fleet. Usually, a courier company might have anything and everything starting right from bicycles and up to full size transport trucks. They will try and find the best solution for you based on your shipping needs. If however, you deal in goods that need to be delivered inside a controlled environment, such as delivering medical goods which need to be in a temperature controlled container, you may want to make a request for that specific type of vehicle in order to protect your goods.
Part of the reason that a number of courier services are going to have so many different kinds of vehicles in their fleet is so that they can be sure to provide their clients with the best vehicle for their shipping needs. Courier companies need to be quick and nimble in regards to their response to potential customers. For instance, if you have a small cross town delivery to be made, using a compact car allows the courier to provide you with a better rate due to their decreased gas consumption. On the other hand, if you have a large load that is quite heavy, they may be able to offer you a better rate by offering you a part of a semi truck load rather than having to send a single large delivery van cross country for your delivery alone.
