Bolt into the 21st century!

February 27, 2015 by Eric Wanberg Leave a Comment

_GSK0048bHey FedEx contractors, what if the only vehicle maintenance you had to worry about was filling your windshield wiper fluid and replacing your tires?  That can now be your reality!  Zenith Motors offers a panel van that has substituted the fossil fuel powered drive train for a lithium ion battery powered one.  This beast can drive up to 120 miles on a single charge and only takes 6.5 hours to fully recharge (although you can upgrade to a 4 hour charger).

The Zenith 350 uses a ProMaster chassis so you will still have 530 cubes of cargo space with a 3,000 lb payload capacity.  You might be thinking that this new vehicle will cost you an arm and a leg, but oil changes and other regular services will be a thing of the past.  Additionally, there are a number of state and federal incentives available:

Here’s the good news:  If you live in the United States, the Federal government will give you a $7,500 tax incentive.

Here’s the really good news: If your business is in California, Chicago, or New York, you’ll get an additional voucher for $45,000 – $50,000 per vehicle at the time of purchase.

Give us a call or contact your account manager for more info on the electric delivery vehicles available.

Hands-free Bluetooth Headset: Legal Mandate or Safety Accessory?

February 20, 2015 by Eric Wanberg Leave a Comment

As most FedEx contractors know, it can be a challenge to run a business and deliver packages at the same time.  A lot of the time this means talking on the phone while out on the route. Safety is of the utmost importance so a hands-free Bluetooth headset for your phone is essential.  In fact, it is actually illegal to talk on the phone while driving without a hands-free device in many states.  But with all the options out there, how do you pick the best Bluetooth device?  Here’s a list of items we think are important to consider when choosing a hands-free headset:

  1. Noise: The truck can be loud, so you’re going to want something that either has a really good noise canceling function or a device with an in-ear piece for both ears
  2. Mobility: When making deliveries, you’re moving around a lot, so you want something that isn’t going to fall off your head.
  3. Comfort: If you’re wearing this device all day, you’re going to want something that isn’t a nuisance to wear all day

Many of the contractors we’ve worked with love the LG Tone (as seen in the above picture) because it scores well in all of the above criteria.  You can buy it HERE.

Let us know which devices work well for you in the comment section below.

Lerma Transport Inc. named FedEx Entrepreneur of the Year

February 13, 2015 by Eric Wanberg Leave a Comment

Saul Lerma of Lerma Transport Inc, Winner of Entrepreneur of The Year 2014

FedEx recently announced Saul Lerma, President and Owner of Lerma Transport Inc., as the 2014 Entrepreneur of the Year!  Saul began his FedEx Ground business in 2000 and has grown to operate 7 daily routes and vehicles while managing 9 employees.  Lerma Transport Inc. previously won the western regional award in 2011.

FedEx recognized Saul and his business for his impeccable safety record and implementation of safety programs for the entire terminal. Saul is also a community leader, providing safety seminars for the entire transportation community in Yuma, Arizona.

Saul came to us in early 2013 when he was looking for a new work truck.  Through the years he has been one of our loyal customers.  Here’s what he had to say about his experience with us:

The last four vehicles I added to our fleet were purchased through Allegiant Partners Inc. I can assuredly say that without strategic and insightful business relationships like the one you have spearheaded with Lerma Transport Inc. that reaching the level of success I have seen would not be possible… I recall when you helped me consolidate several loans I had open with other finance companies to help me increase the bottom line for my company and saved Lerma Transport Inc. money by reducing our monthly payment and freeing up cash-flow.

Check out the biopic FedEx made about Lerma Transport Inc.  Congratulations to Saul Lerma and his team!
