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.

Recurring Delivery Service – How Scheduled Deliveries Can Help a Business
Friday, August 13th, 2010
For a company that is doing business in the Houston area, finding a Houston courier service to provide regularly scheduled courier service can be extremely beneficial. Nearly every business has courier needs. Companies that make products obviously have to find a way to get those products to their customers. Of course, there are also several companies that offer services, rather than products, that need to send documents to their various support services. In either situation, scheduled courier service will definitely have its pluses.
Scheduled courier service is just what it sounds like. This is an arrangement with a courier company where they will make pickups from your location on a regular basis. How often those pickups are made is going to be up to you and the needs of your business. For instance, you might have pickups made once a month, every week, every second day, or every single morning.
One of the great things about scheduled deliveries is that they are extremely reliable. This is often especially true when working with smaller courier companies. You see, with smaller couriers, there may be times when you can’t access a last minute courier service because the vehicles that the courier has at their disposal are all already committed to other deliveries. This can leave your products stranded. However, if you have scheduled service, the courier company will already have your business scheduled for a pickup. All you have to do is have the package(s) ready!
One of the biggest benefits of scheduled courier services is that you can actually save your business money in the long run. Many couriers offer discounted rates for scheduled service. Aside from that, if you have a scheduled courier service coming to a business, you make sure that everything is ready for pickup at your specified time. This is a benefit because many companies that don’t use scheduled services will call for a pickup, only to find out later that they have another package to ship. This results in the business paying for two separate pickups.
Finally, using this type of service can assist you in keeping your company organized. When you’re forced to always have products ready at the same time, you ensure that targets are met regularly in order to keep your customers’ supply chain flowing smoothly. This makes your company look like a smooth and efficient organization, increasing the customers’ satisfaction and overall outlook on your business.
Until next time,
Eric
