Review:
One of the most frequently asked questions by persons interested in entering the delivery industry has to do with the availability of printed resources - books, how-to articles, guides, etc., - explaining fundamentals of the expedited delivery business. Until now, there hasn't been anything that comes close to meeting those needs, but a new book, The Business of Same Day Deliveries, finally fills the gap. Written by Jim Hansell, a former delivery company owner and CPA, the book is a first-of-its-kind attempt to address matters about this little-known segment of the transportation industry. Because of the author's financial background, the book focuses on financial practices and policies, thus making it a valuable tool for new and seasoned business owners alike. But it doesn't stop there. Included are chapters on Growing a Delivery Business, Pricing, Costing, and Selling a Delivery Company, amoung others. --California Delivery Association - Dispatch News
