Atlanta Courier Service
Launches GPS Capabilities
June
8, 2006-- Atlanta, GA AQuickDelivery,
a leading provider of same-day courier services and delivery
management solutions in Georgia, today announced
the launch of their Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) capabilities, which will automate the
tracking of orders from the point of pick-up to delivery as
well as fully optimize the routes that couriers take when
delivering packages.
AQuickDelivery, founded in 1987, is a
technology leader within the courier and same day delivery
industry. With a focus on continuous improvement in order
placement, tracking, invoicing and proof-of-deliveries
aspects, customers can be certain their same day delivery
information is not only accurate, but also provided in
real-time.
By adding GPS capabilities, AQuickDelivery
can immediately provide customers with the exact location of
their packages, determine where there are traffic problems
for couriers to avoid and increase the productivity of their
delivery drivers. In the past, customers had to wait for an
update from the driver for the estimated time of arrival,
whereas that information is now available immediately. In
addition, the new GPS capabilities allow AQuickDelivery to
continue to improve their on-time delivery percentages by
traveling the most optimized routes based on the real-time
location information of their drivers.
"
Having GPS installed on our drivers
communication devices has been extremely effective in
keeping track of packages and delays, says Mark McCurry,
President. It also allows our courier drivers to be more
productive, which results in higher daily payouts for them
and the ability to handle more deliveries as a company. We
are very pleased with the upgrade in technology and expect
it will make the business of same day courier services more
effective."

Fuel
Surcharge
Dear
Valued Customer:
To
offset the rising price of gas, AQuickDelivery may enact a
fuel surcharge. This surcharge will go into effect
only when the price of gas exceeds $1.50/gal. If
the price exceeds $1.50/gal, we will add a fuel surcharge of
2% on every delivery. Additional 1% increases will be
charged for every $0.10 increment increase over $1.50/gal.
We will use the regular unleaded fuel price from the
Quiktrip at Sidney Marcus and 400. This surcharge will
be passed along to our drivers to assist them in meeting
their temporary increased fuel cost. Again, if the
price of fuel remains below $1.50/gal, we will not institute
the surcharge.
Thank
you for your understanding. This increase will only last as
long as gas prices remain high so that we may fairly
compensate our loyal drivers for their increased cost. If
you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact the owners of AQuickDelivery, Lon Fancher, Mark
McCurry or Scott Moller at 404.888.9999.
