Can You Order More Than One Vehicle For A Shipment?

By:


Every Chicago medical courier knows one thing about any kind of medical delivery: it has GOT to get there fast. That is why they allow for multiple vehicles for medical shipments, indeed for any shipments a customer has. They farm out their work to multiple vans, and sometimes multiple companies, because any shipment of medical supplies always needs to get there (where there happens to be) right away, and sometimes it has to go in two or more different directions at the same time.

Consider something like whole blood as a shipment. It is completely useless to the recipient, whether for transfusions or specimens or forensic evidence, unless it is fresh and viable. In the case of a blood bank shipment, that plasma must be transferred from the vein of the donor, so to speak, as quickly as it can be to the patient whose life depends upon it. This is a genuine life and death situation, and there are thousands of them going on all around the world, every minute of every day.

So each Chicago medical courier has numerous vans equipped with special refrigeration units, structures that ride with the van and keep the whole blood and other specimens at a constant and cool near frigid temperature. And the availability of these vans is based solely on the need for medical emergencies, because frankly they are not going to use their medical vehicles for anything else.

There is a little thing they mandate that you might call a sterility guarantee, a freedom from any kind of germ infestation in the whole blood and plasma products they ship. This guarantee allows them to promise that no infection has tainted the shipment you entrusted to them.

Now, say the order is for a whole blood shipment, all on one ticket (from one blood bank at one time, for example), and yet its plasma and other blood derivatives must get to three separate hospitals, maybe even three separate cities.

That would be when they allow the customer (actually, encourage him) to ship the order in more than one vehicle; it just makes sense to keep every delivery as timely as possible.

And if they cannot handle the entire shipment, they keep some solid friendships going with multiple medical couriers all around the immediate area, and they help pick up the slack.

So yes, they allow multiple vehicles for one medical shipment. Because whatever you are sending, it has got to get there fast.
