What STAT Means Here
Some carriers use STAT to mean they'll prioritize it. We mean one shipment, one courier, one vehicle, straight through. Dispatched on the call rather than queued for the next route. No other stops, no consolidation, no sorting facility. The assigned courier stays with the shipment from pickup to handoff.
When STAT Is the Right Call
- Specimens with hold-time limits where the next routed pickup falls outside the window
- Blood products and emergency release
- Sterile trays for a scheduled case
- Radiopharmaceutical doses against a calibration window
- Organ and tissue
- Aircraft-on-ground parts
- Line-down parts
- Anything where the cost of being late exceeds the cost of the delivery.

Your Questions,
Answered
STAT Versus Same-Day?
STAT is immediate dedicated dispatch, direct, no consolidation. Same-day is delivery within the business day on a committed window and may share a route.
Overnight and Weekends?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Temperature-Sensitive STAT?
Yes, all ranges. Tell dispatch when you call so the right equipment goes out.
Do I Need an Account?
No. Recurring volume reduces your rate.
