Replace Your Delivery Fleet

Save Time, Money, and Hassle by Outsourcing Your Delivery Trucks in Phoenix, Arizona

Are you a business owner in the Phoenix metropolitan area managing your own delivery fleet or truck(s)? Do you find your vehicles often driving empty or underutilized? Are you frustrated with the ongoing costs, management headaches, and liability risks associated with owning delivery trucks?

If delivery and distribution are not your core business, it might be time to consider a more efficient solution — outsourcing your delivery fleet to Mercury Delivery Services, Phoenix’s trusted same-day delivery and logistics partner.

Why Replace Your Delivery Fleet?

Getting your product to your customers is vital—but owning and managing your own trucks can distract you from growing your core business. Just like most companies outsource IT support for efficiency and expertise, outsourcing your delivery operations can help you focus on what you do best.

The Real Costs of Owning a Delivery Fleet or Truck

Owning your own delivery vehicles comes with two types of costs: hard costs and intangible costs. Many businesses underestimate how much owning a fleet truly costs.

Hard Costs Include:

  • Driver wages, benefits, and payroll taxes

  • Vehicle maintenance and repairs

  • Fuel expenses

  • Insurance and liability coverage

  • Lease or loan payments

  • Vehicle registration, licensing, and inspections

  • HR and driver training programs

  • Vehicle painting, lettering, and branding

  • Management time spent scheduling and dispatching drivers

These costs persist whether your trucks are busy or idle. In fact, most fleets operate at less than 50% capacity, meaning you’re paying for trucks and drivers even when they’re not maximizing productivity.

Intangible Costs to Consider:

  • Driver absenteeism and turnover

  • Managing driver behavior and safety risks

  • Liability exposure from accidents and misuse

  • Dispatching, routing, and real-time vehicle tracking

  • Time lost dealing with vehicle breakdowns and emergency maintenance

  • Overtime and inefficient scheduling

  • Lost productivity when your core staff are pulled into delivery issues

  • Security risks when vehicles are taken home or used for unauthorized purposes

  • Fuel card misuse and unauthorized expenses

  • The “double-mile” scenario — trucks running empty on return trips

Common Challenges of Managing Your Own Fleet

  • Underutilized trucks driving empty miles, costing you money

  • Drivers exhibiting careless habits damaging vehicles and brand image

  • Complex liability issues and costly insurance claims

  • Difficulty maintaining regulatory compliance with DOT and safety laws

  • High management overhead just to keep the fleet running

  • Scheduling headaches during peak times or employee absences
