What we stand on
Five things we actually hold each other to.
Not a poster in the break room. These are what we coach to, promote on, and have the hard conversations about. Tap any one to see what it looks like on a route.
Safety first: return home as you came
Safety is always our number one priority.›
That means reporting issues, fixing safety risks, and being aware, punctual and in good form — rested, alert and ready.
To infinity and beyond
Go past the minimum.›
Each of us is willing and able to go above and beyond by being proactive, offering ideas and problem solving — with humility, integrity and honesty.
Quality engagement
Clear, calm, honest communication.›
We believe in transparency and clarity with each other, and we listen. We keep our speech calm and level-headed, and strive to be rational and kind.
Treating others as we want to be treated
Empathy for teammates and customers.›
We are empathetic and caring to ourselves, our team and others. We like to give to and serve others, and we are advocates for those around us.
S on our chest, under our vest
Bold and steady under pressure.›
We are bold and fearless in all that we do. We persevere in the face of adversity, and we empower others to do the same.
Safety, in practice
The safe stop, four steps every time.
Our No Driveway Policy is a big reason KingShip has one of the lowest property damage rates of any DSP. Backing out of a driveway is where most damage happens — mailboxes, parked cars, and kids you cannot see behind a van.
Park legally on the street.
Never pull into the driveway. The street is where you can see everything around you.
Hazard lights on.
Every stop, every time — so every driver around you knows you are there.
Passenger-side tires to the curb.
Facing the direction of traffic, so you step out on the safe side.
Walk the sidewalk or driveway.
Never across a customer's lawn. Their home, their yard, their trust.
And one more, underneath all five
Everyone is welcome here.
Respect, inclusion, safety, unity and excellence. Different backgrounds, different perspectives, one team.
