U.S. Messenger & Logistics, Inc. was founded by Frank Gonzales and Norm Nied during April 1999. Frank and Norm were two former senior managers of the original U.S. Messenger & Delivery Service, Inc. which was started during 1966 by Mr. Donald Fried. In the years since, they strove to build a strong company that would "Deliver... What Others Promised." Norm passed away during early 2021, but that early desire is still strong and the team is working to "Deliver the Service... You Deserve."
Our Managers and Supervisors are among the most experienced in the industry. Together, they have several hundred years of leadership skills in the business, working for the biggest companies in the upper Midwest.
Many of our drivers have worked for us for over 20 years. Over 60% of our couriers have more than 10 years of experience.
