PLEASANTON, Calif., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GSO, the leading regional carrier for Overnight delivery in California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, celebrates its 20th anniversary today. The company opened its doors on May 5, 1995 with the notion that California companies should not be required to pay national delivery rates for in-state shipments. On that day, with just one customer, GSO made its first delivery, successfully transporting eight packages from the bay area throughout California.
Since then, GSO has grown its number of distribution centers from three to thirty-six, delivering thousands of packages each day across more than 300,000 square miles to every address in California as well as the metropolitan areas of Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. The company's initial core business offering was Priority overnight service with later pickup times and lower costs than the national carriers. As the customer base grew, GSO listened to its evolving needs and eventually added next day GSO Ground as a service type, allowing shippers to reduce transit times without additional revenue spend.
"Over the last twenty years, GSO has remained strong throughout the multitude of changes in the economic climate," said Dana Hyatt, CEO at GSO. "We've been able to continue growing our business by executing next day service with flexibility, convenience, excellent customer service and competitive rates, while developing robust technology that offers scalable and seamless customer integrations, tracking and reporting capabilities." Hyatt added, "But the most powerful driving force behind our company's growth is our team of 1,900 dedicated employees who have been unwavering in their support of the company throughout the years."
As part of the company's ongoing growth, GSO plans to provide its customers and prospective clients with more options which include adding a Freight service offering, expanding delivery service to more states, and continuing to invest in innovative technology.
