Established in 1994, Diligent has grown from one delivery driver in Dallas, Texas to more than 2,500 professional owner-operator drivers and trucks providing client services in metro, suburban and rural areas of America, one delivery at a time.
The original founders knew that "outsourcing" was both cost-effective and hassle-free for auto dealerships, distributors, and wholesalers for the delivery of their parts and supplies. They were right, because today Diligent services hundreds of clients across the country from one driver to over 50 drivers in a single location and over a dozen different industries.
In 2001, new ownership began the quest of taking our company to new heights with alternative services and diversified the way we look at business. When it comes to service, we see our client's customers as our number one priority.
In 2003, Diligent started a local hot shot service in Houston, TX. As our hot shot service started to grow, our customers requested additional services be implemented because of how well we serviced their delivery needs. At that time, Diligent created Diligent Direct, the ONE SOURCE RESOURCE for all transportation modes. Services included were, Dedicated Driver Leasing, Cartage pick up and delivery, Freight Forwarding, Air Freight, LTL and FTL, as well as Ocean Transport. These services began growing in shipments, and with the acquisition of experienced operational personnel, Diligent provided many of these customers with import and export services, allowing them the advantages of the alternative programs we had available.
Today, with over 46 locations around the country and many partners and agents we rely on to help us get material from point A to point B, Diligent is one of the fastest growing Delivery and Freight Forwarding companies in the country.
