Every week, Tusk Logistics analyzes tens of thousands of parcel deliveries across our nationwide network of alternative carriers. The goal is simple: give shippers real visibility into how these carriers are actually performing, and where they can win on speed, reliability, and cost.

Here’s the performance we saw last week:

Network-Wide Performance

On-time delivery held strong at 97.86%, with just 2.14% of shipments arriving late — and most of those were only a day behind.

On-Time Delivery Breakdown

The data continues to show what we see week after week: alternative carriers deliver consistent, predictable performance across the network.

Top-Performing Carriers

One carrier hit a perfect week:

• Falcon Express Transportation — 100% OTD
  14th week earning a spot on our leaderboard
  
  

Several others delivered consistently strong performance with on-time rates above 97%:

• CDL Last Mile — 22nd week on the list
  
  
• LSO Parcel — 7th week
  
  
• United Delivery Service (UDS) — 19th week
  
  
• UniUni — 1st week back on the list
  
  
• GLS US — 5th week
  
  
• DoorDash — 1st week on the list
  
  

Across the board, these carriers continue to prove that regional density and purpose-built last-mile networks can consistently outperform legacy national providers — especially on two-day speed.
