National urgent transport

Although nowadays we can find a wide range of companies that offer national urgent transport, the truth is that the urgent transport sector has not been around as long as it might seem. Only 60 years ago this field was monopolized by two or three companies that were beginning to exploit the possibilities offered by the territory of the Iberian Peninsula. Ten years ago, however, the number of companies offering this service had skyrocketed, with 5,300 businesses in the market dedicated to postal and mail activities.

Ten years later we find that the sector has evolved towards different business paths. Some transport companies, seeing the boom in the parcel sector, have decided to opt for that specialization. Others, however, those initially dedicated to courier and urgent transport, have moved towards logistics.

At DIR Logística, Transporte Urgente, Mensajería, Paquetería y E-commerce we are among the latter. We were founded 26 years ago and have been expanding our services according to our clients’ demands with the aim of offering a comprehensive service. We operate throughout Spain, Andorra and Portugal by land, sea and air, providing you with a network of 375 agencies and more than 100 daily routes for urgent transport. Our network, with more than 3,000 qualified employees and 1,000 available proximity points, handles an average of 142,000 shipments per day. This makes us one of the strongest options on the market when it comes to national urgent transport.

National urgent transport, past and future

According to experts, courier services as a standalone service will tend to disappear, and the companies that survive will be those that offer very specific services or those that evolve towards logistics. In a market as competitive as national urgent transport, those who survive are the ones who best adapt to the customer. In this way, the possibilities for diversification are unlimited: customizing shipments, establishing new timings and digitizing the service, among others. At DIR Logística, Transporte Urgente, Mensajería, Paquetería y E-commerce we turn the present into a future reality, which is why we already offer services such as:

Cash on delivery payment

GPS geolocation to know in real time where the product is

Additional weekend delivery service (Saturdays and Sundays)

Urgent air service

Rates adapted to each type of company and e-commerce business.
