NFIB/Texas Salutes 2010 Small Business Champion

AUSTIN, October 21, 2010 –Eric Donaldson, president of Hot Shot Delivery Inc. in Houston, has been named the NFIB Small Business Champion for Texas by the National Federation of Independent Business.

Donaldson is a second-generation business owner; his father started Hot Shot Delivery in 1978. Donaldson currently employs 14 full-time staff and works with more than 70 contractors.

Donaldson has been an NFIB member since 2003 and was invited to join the Texas Leadership Council in 2005. Since then, he has spent countless hours traveling to Austin to testify and meet with NFIB staff and political leaders, attended hearings and meetings and has been invited to serve on various councils and committees.

In 2008, he was appointed by Comptroller Susan Combs to serve on the Texas Business Tax Advisory Council representing NFIB and small business owners.

“From his first day as a member, Eric has been active and engaged in every aspect of NFIB,” said NFIB/Texas Executive Director Will Newton. “He is a collaborator and team player; he has helped us build coalitions and relationships with groups that also put small business issues first.

Donaldson was instrumental in introducing NFIB/Texas to Texas Couriers and Logistics Association, one of the first groups to join NFIB/Texas in the push to reform the margins tax.

Donaldson has been involved in the Messenger Courier Association of America for numerous years and was the recipient of the MCAA’s 2007 Community Service Award for his work after Hurricane Katrina.  In addition to his work, Donaldson is a committed soccer coach in the UCAL. He currently serves on the Texas Courier and Logistics Association board of directors and was a founder of the organization.

“He assists the NFIB/Texas office with meeting coordination in his area, serves as a spokesperson to the local and national media, and has often assisted in finding new member leads to help us grow our membership,” Newton added.

Dependable, Safe, Family Oriented Houston Courier Service

What are three features that you really want to see in a courier company?  Here at Hot Shot Delivery, Inc. we’ve asked ourselves this question, but most importantly we’ve asked our customers, whom we love to hear from.  These are the most important features our customers have come to expect from us.

Dependability

Our customers expect us to be Dependable.  Several of our customers rely on us to deliver their products to their customers.  Have you ever sent something out and found out that it was lost by the delivery service you chose and you were never notified?  We know how frustrating that can be, so we make sure that our customers can count on us with their packages. Our Motto at Hot Shot has been “Whatever It Takes” and we do whatever it takes to ensure that your package is delivered on-time, every time.  Hot Shot Delivery has an extremely high on-time success rate, so when you send something via Hot Shot, your delivery will arrive when you expect it to.  Have a delivery that needed to be there yesterday?  Don’t worry call Hot Shot and take advantage of our Emergency Delivery Services, we’ll get it there as soon as physically possible.  We are only human and occasionally, events may occur that might affect a delivery, however, instead of trying to sweep it under the rug we are proactively calling our customers to let them know of the situation and the ways we are working to get the problem corrected.

Safety and Security

Hot Shot Delivery, Inc. goes above and beyond our competitors to make sure that our customers as well as those we come in contact with are Safe and Secure.  Hot Shot is a licensed motor carrier and a TSA Approved In-Direct Air Carrier.  So we are able to offer our customers Next Flight Out service in every U.S. city with a major airport. Hot Shot has a staff of properly insured couriers who are required to complete and pass an exhaustive state and federal criminal background and motor vehicle check. Our uniformed couriers are easily recognized and promote a professional image for you and your company. Hot Shot and its’ couriers are properly insured to protect not only your package, but your company as well. 

Family Oriented 

Hot Shot Delivery, Inc. was formed in 1978 by our President, Eric Donaldson’s father.  We consider ourselves a Family, not just co-workers.  You receive personalized service from our Hot Shot Family.  We have found that our clients do not feel average because when they joined Hot Shot they became part of our Family. Our people make the difference and we take pride in the strength of the relationships we have built with each and every one of our family members.  Our Hot Shot Family is dedicated to staying ahead of the competition in order to offer you the best courier service in Houston.

Until next time,

Eric
