M C Delivery

What M C Delivery does

M C Delivery is a privately held, family-owned regional transportation company providing same-day business-to-business delivery services throughout the Puget Sound region of Western Washington. Founded in 1928 in Tacoma as Indian Cycle Delivery, the company was purchased by Jack and Nettie Laycock in 1946 and rebranded to M C Delivery in 1953; it has been led by Andrew Laycock since 1986. The company operates across five counties — King, Pierce, Snohomish, Thurston, and Kitsap — from its headquarters at 1410 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Tacoma, WA.

The company offers three core service lines: Document & Package Delivery (same-day transport of items under 70 lbs), LTL/Pallet Delivery (less-than-truckload freight with same-day, expedited, and hotshot options), and Outsourced Services (a managed-service offering that embeds M C Delivery's vehicles, drivers, insurance, and fuel under a single rate as a customer's outsourced delivery department). Service is backed by GPS-enabled real-time tracking, route management systems, and a AAA Safety Program, with a stated 98.5% on-time record and 15-minute arrival/departure windows for dedicated routes.

M C Delivery generates revenue on a transaction-fee basis for document and LTL deliveries and on a managed-service contract basis for outsourced engagements; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-business via phone (1-800-553-3252) and email ([email protected]), supported by a small website and an active hiring pipeline. The company has no parent, no institutional ownership, no funding rounds, no public social media presence, and no mobile app; legal name is M C Parcel Delivery Inc.

Direct peers

• OnTrac: Regional parcel delivery carrier serving the U.S. West Coast with time-definite ground services for B2B and e-commerce shippers. Directly comparable to M C Delivery as a regional same-day/next-day parcel specialist with route density advantages over national carriers.
• AxleHire: Same-day and next-day last-mile delivery carrier operating in major U.S. metros with a focus on e-commerce and B2B shippers. Comparable to M C Delivery in regional same-day B2B parcel delivery, though AxleHire operates with a more technology-led platform.
• GoBolt: Regional same-day and next-day parcel and large-item delivery provider with EV fleet operations across multiple U.S. and Canadian metros. Comparable to M C Delivery in regional B2B same-day parcel and oversized-item delivery, with overlapping LTL-style service.

Emerging players

• Dolly: On-demand large and bulky item delivery marketplace serving major U.S. metros, often with two-person and white-glove service. Comparable to M C Delivery's LTL/pallet and oversized-item delivery offering, with overlap on white-glove inside-delivery use cases.
• Roadie: On-demand crowdsourced delivery platform owned by UPS that provides same-day B2B and B2C delivery across the U.S. Comparable to M C Delivery in same-day B2B parcel delivery, differentiated by a gig-driver model versus owned fleet.

Broad incumbents

• UPS (United Parcel Service): Global parcel and logistics incumbent providing ground, air, and freight services including same-day in select markets. Directly competes with M C Delivery on B2B time-definite parcel delivery in the Puget Sound region, with materially broader geographic reach.
• FedEx: Global parcel and freight incumbent offering same-day, overnight, and ground delivery through multiple operating companies. Directly competes with M C Delivery on B2B same-day and time-definite parcel and LTL freight in Western Washington.
• Old Dominion Freight Line: Large U.S. LTL carrier with regional service centers across the Pacific Northwest. Comparable to M C Delivery's palletized freight offering, though focused on next-day rather than same-day service and operating at substantially larger scale.
• Saia LTL Freight: National less-than-truckload carrier providing regional and inter-regional palletized freight services across the U.S. Comparable to M C Delivery's LTL/pallet business, with broader geographic reach but less flexibility on same-day time-definite service.

Others

• Dispatch: Last-mile delivery management software platform serving enterprise shippers and 3PLs. Adjacent rather than directly competitive; technology relationships with such platforms represent both a partner channel and a procurement risk for regional couriers like M C Delivery.
