Every week, Tusk Logistics tracks tens of thousands of parcel deliveries across our nationwide network of alternative carriers. We publish this data for one reason: to show how the network actually performs when real volume is moving.

Last Week’s Alternative Carrier Performance

Here’s what the data shows from last week:

📦 95.5% of shipments were delivered on time
🔥 84% were delivered within two days
⏱️ 86% of late parcels arrived the very next day

This is what steady looks like. On-time performance held where we expect it to be, two-day coverage stayed strong, and when things did slip, the network recovered quickly. That combination matters. Fast recovery is just as important as raw OTP when you’re shipping at scale.

Standout Carrier Performance

🚀 Alternative carriers with OTP >100%

• Promed Delivery — first week back on the list

💪 Alternative carriers with OTP >97%

• CDL Last Mile — 28th week on the list
• Courier Express — first week back on the list
• United Delivery Service — first week back on the list
• Better Trucks — 2nd week on the list
• DoorDash — first week on the list

What stands out this week is the mix. CDL Last Mile continues to show what consistency at scale really looks like, while several carriers are back on the leaderboard after tightening execution. That’s exactly what you want to see in a healthy network: proven performers holding the line and others stepping up.

We’re using this data every day to help shippers adjust carrier mix, routing rules, and service levels in real time. The goal isn’t perfect weeks: it’s predictable performance and fast course correction when conditions change.
