We get this question from new fleet customers. Why 7 AM? Why not 9 AM, when you guys are also driving around?
Because the entire point of jobsite delivery is the gear is there before the crew. Crews start at 6 or 7 most days. If a guy needs replacement boots, replacement gloves, a new hard hat — and he's there at 7 AM and the gear shows up at 10 — he's lost three hours either standing around or working without the right gear. Foreman loses his shift productivity. The whole reason we drive at all is to prevent that.
So we run a 4 AM-to-7 AM delivery loop. One driver, multiple stops. Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bayonne, Jersey City. Trailer drop or shop drop. Some guys have us leave the box outside the trailer, some have a key.
"Mid-morning delivery defeats the point. The crew is already on the job."
What this requires from you. The 4 PM cutoff the day before. We pack the truck the previous evening. If you call us at 8 PM with a new order for tomorrow morning — usually we can't. Sometimes we can. Worth asking.
What this doesn't include. Same-day delivery. We don't run a midday route. Same-day means pickup at the shop. We're at 519 Port Richmond Ave, open 11-8 every day, and a foreman or crew member can grab gear on the way to a site. For non-Staten-Island sites, that's often the right move on a same-day need.
Manhattan and Bronx delivery follows a different model. See the jobsite delivery page for those zones — they're staged differently because of traffic and parking.
