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.

On the roadHazards on at every stop. Loose dog? Stay in the van and call the customer. Any accident or injury gets reported immediately — fast reporting protects you.

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.

On the roadFinished early? A teammate may need a rescue. Something unclear? Ask before you assume.

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.

On the roadRunning late or can't make it? Call and text Dispatch, at least two hours ahead. Honest and early beats silent every time.

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.

On the roadWalk the path, never the lawn. Handle every package like it is a gift for your own family. Help before you are asked.

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.

On the roadRain, snow, a heavy route — finish the day strong, and lift the team on the way.

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.

And one more, underneath all five

Everyone is welcome here.

Respect, inclusion, safety, unity and excellence. Different backgrounds, different perspectives, one team.

Excellence is our expectation — not our exception.
