Every week, Tusk Logistics tracks tens of thousands of parcel deliveries across our nationwide network of alternative carriers. We publish these results publicly to provide a transparent view into how alternative carriers are performing in real shipping environments.

Here's what the network delivered last week.

Weekly Alternative Carrier Performance

📦 96% of all shipments were delivered on time
🔥 40.4% of shipments were delivered within two days
⏱ 75.7% of late parcels arrived the next day

Transit Times Will Continue to Lengthen — And That's a Good Thing

As we activate increased linehauls and unlock national carrier service across the platform, time-in-transit metrics will naturally shift. More linehauls mean more access to more alternative carriers via Tusk-powered and Tusk-tracked transportation - both in the air and on the ground.

As geographic reach expands, average transit profiles diversify. A gradual lengthening in two-day percentages signals a larger, more capable network, not reduced performance.

Carriers Leading the Network This Week

🤯 Carriers with 100% On-Time Performance (OTP)

• Courier Express — 4th week on the list
• Spee Dee Delivery Service — first week back on the list

💪 Carriers with OTP above 97%

• CDL Last Mile — 4th week on the list
• DoorDash — first week back on the list
• Optima Overnight — first week back on the list
• GOFO — first week on the list
• Purple Mountain Solutions — first week back on the list

The depth of this week's leaderboard stands out. Five carriers above 97% OTP — including a first-time appearance from GOFO — alongside two carriers holding 100%. It reflects a network where consistent performers hold the line and new entrants are stepping up to meet the same standard.

Why This Data Matters

Alternative carriers are no longer a secondary option in parcel shipping. Week after week, the data shows a network delivering high on-time performance, competitive transit speeds, and fast recovery when disruptions occur.

For shippers building a multi-carrier shipping strategy or looking to reduce parcel shipping costs with regional carriers, this kind of performance visibility is critical.

We'll keep publishing weekly results as the network grows.
