    About Company

    NOW Courier is a high-energy, forward-thinking organization constantly evolving to remain ahead of the industry by providing fast, efficient, and cost-effective delivery services and exceptional customer support.

    In 1986, the Company was a single location near the heart of Indianapolis, IN. From a narrow sector of the City, NOW Courier set out to build and deploy a new standard in the courier and messenger industry. With limited resources, a few talented individuals, and a minimal customer base, the Company progressed from a strictly on-demand courier to the profile today: A top tier U.S. courier, successfully completing approximately three (3) million+ deliveries for over 5,000 satisfied customers throughout the Midwest each year. These significant achievements could not be accomplished without the Company's highly talented team of approximately 90 employees, nearly 500 contract drivers, and the support of seven NOW Courier locations in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky.

    From the beginning, NOW Courier set out to be a different kind of Company. One that not only celebrated a high standard of service but that also brought a feeling of connection to employees and customers. And with every partner interaction, the Company strives to bring both its heritage and an exceptional experience to life.
