We are Halifax based courier company doing deliveries in Maritime as a subcontractor for Amazon, Canada Post, Purolator, and Sysco. We are expanding now and looking for more avenues to join as a subcontractor/third party agent.

Here are few things we offer to bring on the table for you:

  1. Our fleet is a mix of latest cargo vans, reefers, cube trucks, and 5 ton straight trucks giving us reasonable flexibility to accommodate all sorts of freight size and volume.
  2. The entire fleet is GPS enabled through Verizon Connect which gives us reliable control on our turnaround times.
  3. We are an ardent advocate of technology. Not only we have our own package handling module with versatile integration capabilities, we are pretty much at ease in adapting to client modules in real-time.

As a business philosophy, we believe the aforesaid things are necessities to do business these days. What matters between job is done and job well done is the customer experience, and this is something that makes us stand apart from the competition. We invest heavily in our drivers all the way from onboarding to making deliveries by undertaking stringent background checks, training them for TDG (transportation of dangerous goods), and ongoing education on customer service skills. We know how sensitive brand creditably is and we assure NovaXpress brand image will remain intact in our hands.
