Our History

On Time Delivery has been in business since 1979, holding contracts with national and regional shippers. By structuring our service around the specific needs of the shipper, we have been able to overcome the Delivery Consistency problems that the shipper encounters when dealing with the general purpose carrier. We deliver your product when You want it there.

We operate out of 5 strategically placed delivery facilities across Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky. All facilities have dock and drive-in capabilities and extensive conveyor systems. This allows us to receive loose loaded freight from multiple sources and efficiently sort the product into the appropriate routes. Our multiple locations allow us to simultaneously dispatch up to 100 routes per day and make over 700,000 deliveries per year.

Our fees for multiple package deliveries are generally 20%-60% less than General Carrier rates.

We have established strong, partnership relationships with our current shippers and were recognized by Avon Products Inc as their National Carrier of the Year 5 years in a row.
