The journey of On Time Delivery, from founding to growth, acquisition and rebranding.

Legacy companies
Our legacy company On Time Delivery and their integration into the Life Couriers group.
Founded in 1986 in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, On Time Delivery built a strong reputation over decades for reliable, on‑demand and scheduled logistics solutions in the Twin Cities region.
In 2023, On Time Delivery officially became part of the Life Couriers global group, and in late 2024 formally rebranded as Life Couriers.
Today, the same team, drivers and facilities continue under the Life Couriers umbrella, strengthened by global reach, healthcare logistics expertise, and shared values.
The journey of On Time Delivery, from founding to growth, acquisition and rebranding.


From the beginning, On Time Delivery emphasized being “large enough to serve all your needs, but small enough to offer personalized service.” Their local focus enabled flexible scheduling, dedicated drivers and tailored solutions for clients in manufacturing, distribution, medical, legal and supply chain segments. The company offered on‑demand, scheduled, routed and dedicated delivery vehicles (cars, vans, trucks) to match client needs.
On Time invested in dispatch systems, fleet tracking and customer‑communication tools early on, enabling clients to track deliveries, communicate with drivers and rely on real‑time updates. Life Couriers operations continue this mindset, combining local agility with advanced global logistics systems.
Over decades, On Time built a local brand in the Twin Cities, earning trust with regional customers via consistent performance and problem solving. The team that built that legacy remains intact under the Life Couriers name, bringing both continuity and new opportunity.

The On Time Delivery team were renowned for their excellent customer service within the Twin Cities region. Now, as part of Life Couriers, they take this experience to a global market.
The integration of On Time Delivery into the Life Couriers group marked a powerful strategic alignment:
On Time’s deep roots in the Twin Cities gives Life Couriers a stronger US base, integrated with a global network.
The personalized, 24/7 local logistics model of On Time aligns perfectly with Life Couriers’ ethos of rapid, dependable delivery for critical goods.
Combining On Time’s capability with Life Couriers’ global systems and life science logistics expertise enables expanded offerings, particularly in Direct‑to‑Patient and Life Science logistics.
Both organizations prioritize reliability, responsiveness and high‑touch service. The rebrand to Life Couriers signals not only a name change, but an enhanced ability to serve clients at scale.
This merging brings great benefits to both customers and patients:
The same dependable service clients expect, now backed by global resources and infrastructure.
Clients can leverage Life Couriers’ worldwide footprint, meaning local agility plus international reach.
With the combined capabilities, Life Couriers is well‑placed to serve high‑value sectors, including healthcare, life science and urgent deliveries, in the U.S. and beyond.
Under the new brand, the employees, drivers and operational systems of On Time remain in place. Clients of the past will see familiar faces and the same trusted service, now enhanced.
For almost four decades, On Time Delivery served the Twin Cities region with a commitment to timely, dependable and responsive logistics.
Those values now live on in Life Couriers, a global group rooted in local service excellence. We’re excited for what’s ahead: bringing the best of regional speed, personalized service and global logistics power to every client.
Life Couriers is the global leader in saving lives and trusted advocate for the good of patients, with the broadest service portfolio on the market.
