For all the craziness in 2020, it has shown us the importance of logistics, supply chains, and transport companies, especially those behind the wheel, when it comes to delivering stuff we need (or at least think we need), and coordinating in-home delivery. The need for furniture delivery<\/a> is only growing.<\/p>\n

Prior to empty toilet paper shelves, scaled-back take-out menus, and waiting weeks (gasp!) for an e-commerce delivery, it was easy to take delivery companies for granted. Naturally, this has been driven by Amazon\u2019s obsession with speed and efficiency that has set the bar for the rest of the market.<\/p>\n

But now, while in the midst of a pandemic that has thrown a mighty, Paul Bunyan-sized wrench into the cogs of our economy, it\u2019s time to recognize some of the transport companies making it happen on America\u2019s vast network of highways today, those who have risked their health and safety by continuing to make large and bulky deliveries.<\/p>\n

On uShip, where over 35,000 active transporters earn all or a portion of their revenue through the site, we\u2019re highlighting four specific companies that we feel might change how you look at shipping in the future, specifically around In-Home Delivery, even as we return to a new normal \u2013 whatever and whenever that is. By outsourcing logistics, businesses can focus on their core strengths while leaving shipping to the experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out what all four of these In-Home Delivery companies have in common \u2013 and how you can tap into this common bond, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

KING SHIPPING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Years on uShip: 7\u00a0 \u22c5\u00a0 <\/strong>Primary category: High-end furniture and household goods<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a former big-rig driver, Deandre Ingram<\/strong> of King Shipping<\/a> is no stranger to the road. When an interior designer friend offered him a shipping contract while between driving jobs, he never looked back, turning a new opportunity into a much larger business.<\/p>\n

After seven years on uShip, he now ranks among the top 20 in shipping volume, with half coming from Exclusive Shipments through uShip\u2019s In-Home Delivery partners such as Chairish<\/a> and 1stdibs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s grown his business to three two-person driving teams \u2013 one in a Ford F350 with an enclosed trailer, and two in two 26\u2019 box trucks \u2013 that zig-zag around the eastern half of the country from Texas to the Eastern seaboard.<\/p>\n

About life on the road right now, during the pandemic, Deandre says, \u201cIt\u2019s a good perfect storm right now<\/strong>. Cheap gas. Cheap hotels. Lots of loads available.\u201d<\/p>\n

HERE 2 THERE SHIPPING & STORAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"in-home
Here 2 There Shipping & Storage started on uShip three years ago and is now among the top 20 in shipment volume.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Years on uShip: 3 \u22c5\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Primary category: High-end furniture and household goods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s story is not an uncommon one on uShip: he turned driving long distances for personal reasons into a full-fledged shipping business, ultimately earning enough money to quit his \u201cday job.\u201d<\/p>\n

When his son began playing Division I lacrosse a few years ago, he drove to see him play as far south as Florida and as far north as Minnesota. Recognizing his travel was \u201ccosting him a fortune,\u201d he began shipping people\u2019s dogs through a service to cover gas and hotel costs.<\/p>\n

He eventually found uShip and turned his attention to less animated 4-legged shipments: chairs, tables, and couches. The more he traveled, the more he shipped, and gradually saw his reputation build, which in turn, allowed him to charge higher rates. Eventually, he earned enough so he and his Soulmate could quit their previous jobs.<\/p>\n

Today, with a fleet of vehicles \u2013 including box trucks and sprinter vans \u2013 Here 2 There Shipping & Storage<\/a> ranks among uShip\u2019s top 20 carriers by volume. His business is earning more money than he made previously and provides a more flexible schedule, one that allows for taking in a lot of lacrosse.<\/p>\n

FIND A WAY SHIPPING<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"in-home
Elizabeth Orton, owner of Find a Way Shipping, has continued expanding her fleet and coverage footprint.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Years on uShip: 2 \u22c5\u00a0 <\/strong>Primary category: High-end furniture and household goods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since starting her business on uShip in July 2018, it\u2019s been non-stop for Elizabeth Orton<\/strong>, owner of Dayton, Ohio-based Find a Way Shipping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In her first six months, she turned one cargo van into a fleet of five vehicles. Since that time, she\u2019s added two semi-trucks and diversified her shipping sources outside of high-end furniture (from sources like Chairish, 1stdibs, and EBTH<\/a>) to include military household moves and some government contracts. This year, she also plans to further expand her business outside Ohio, starting an office in Florida.<\/p>\n

To Elizabeth, being a female transporter means \u201cliving\u201d and having the freedom to be her own boss<\/strong>. While out on the road, she says she\u2019s able to clear her mind and thoughts, finding it meditative to be behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s passionate about being a female owner in the transportation industry<\/a>. Keeping her team going and encouraging high-quality transportation, communication, and delivery shows grit and integrity.<\/p>\n
