The expansion of AxleHire is continuing, with the last-mile delivery company announcing that it will begin serving the Atlanta area.
Same-day and next-day delivery service will begin this summer, the company said Thursday. It is the first foray into a Southeastern market for AxleHire.
“Atlanta has been a market our customers have been asking about for some time and we’re thrilled to now be able to offer the same great delivery service they expect in the Southeastern region,” said Adam Bryant, AxleHire CEO. “Atlanta is strategically placed in between several of the markets we’re already operating in and plays a critical role in connecting the East, South and Midwestern states.”
AxleHire offers expedited urban last-mile delivery, using a tech-first and asset-light approach. The company leverages its own routing algorithms to optimize delivery routes to create greater density, saving time, miles, fuel and ultimately CO2 emissions. Routes are dynamically changed on demand based on needs. All its sortation centers are located close to dense populations to facilitate faster delivery times with 98.5% on-time delivery with package tracking.
Drivers come from the gig economy, allowing capacity to scale as needed.
