The business owner may find that they have several requirements in the area that will require deliveries to clients, customers or perhaps retailers that regularly use your products. If you are already doing business with a Bay Area delivery company, you will need to sit down with the account representative and lay out a detailed list of what your needs are. You are seeking a trucking company that will provide the services that you require at a cost efficient price. Scheduling your pickup on the same day of the week might be one way of arranging these deliveries if your trucking company agrees that they would be able to take them all together with several stops. This would apply on smaller shipments that go multiple places in one city. If the load turns out to be a full truck-load, you will have to make other arrangements as this will not be cost effective for you. However, multi-stop deliveries can and will gladly be accommodated by the majority of trucking companies.
If you contact several courier and delivery services there will be some that will allow you to ship with this method and could also be a very good option for your budget. If you are one of the companies that would need this type of shipment, you can consolidate more than one shipment that you have during the week into one single truckload with multiple drop off locations. Get the courier and delivery services to talk to you and see if you can negotiate some sort of arrangement with them that would be beneficial to all.
When discussing these arrangements with your account representative, or a dispatch office, make sure that they understand your exact requirements and see if they will work something out with you that will be a solution and cost efficient. It is only logical that the companies that you are approaching would be more than happy to accommodate you as if they take the same amount of shipments on different days it would require more hours to pick up and deliver your products than a one stop pick up with multiple locations for drop off and it may coincide with their existing routes they have in place already. If they were located within their routes in place this would be another incentive for the trucking company to discuss some kind of arrangement with your company.
