Every week, Tusk Logistics analyzes tens of thousands of parcel deliveries across our nationwide network of alternative carriers. The goal is straightforward: track performance accurately, identify shifts early, and help shippers respond in real time.

Last Week’s Network Performance

As peak volumes continue to recede, network performance is settling back into expected operating ranges:

• 97% of all shipments were delivered on time
• 96.6% were delivered within two days
• Of the small percentage that arrived late, 84% were delivered the very next day

On-time performance has returned quickly to pre-peak averages in the 96–97% range, a signal that carrier operations are stabilizing as residual peak volume clears.

What We’re Seeing Across the Network

Peak season stress doesn’t disappear overnight. What matters is how quickly networks recover once demand normalizes.

Last week’s data shows:

• Volumes easing from peak highs
• Throughput normalizing across carrier facilities
• Strong next-day recovery on late shipments

Based on current trends, we expect OTP to remain at or above these levels in the weeks ahead.

Alternative Carriers Delivering 97%+ OTP

Several carriers stood out for consistent, high-quality performance:

• Promed Delivery — second consecutive week above 97%
• Purple Mountain Solutions Inc. — first week back on the list
• CDL Last Mile — 26th week on the list (six months of consistency)
• GLS US — first week back on the list

This kind of sustained performance is exactly why alternative carriers play a critical role in a resilient, multi-carrier shipping strategy.

Why This Matters

Weekly performance data isn’t about looking backward. It’s how shippers:

• Validate carrier mix decisions
• Adjust routing logic with confidence
• Maintain service levels while controlling cost

Peak season creates volatility. Visibility – and the ability to act on it quickly – is what keeps shipping operations stable.

We’ll continue sharing these weekly performance snapshots to provide a clear, data-backed view of how alternative carriers are performing across the Tusk network.
