What OTD Courier & Delivery does

OTD Courier & Delivery (legally OTD Inc., also trading as OTD Florida) is a family-owned Florida logistics company founded in 1981 by Lou Cervone and headquartered in Oakland Park, FL. The company provides same-day and next-day courier services, overnight delivery across 900+ Florida zip codes, warehousing and fulfillment (12,000 sq ft headquarters plus 100,000+ sq ft network), and customized logistics solutions including fleet replacement and dedicated driver routes, with vehicles ranging from sedans to 26-foot box trucks. Service is quote-based, available 24/7/365, and augments with a transparent weekly AAA-based fuel surcharge.

The company operates a proprietary technology stack built around the OptiPick platform (registered trademark, in continuous use since 2006) for optical and dental laboratories, an online client portal (otdonline.net) for order management and proof-of-delivery, and supporting features including real-time GPS tracking, picture and digital-signature proof of delivery, inventory management, and automated customer notifications. The platform serves 4,000+ companies, processes 21,500+ deliveries per day, and captures 11,000+ data points per delivery. Dedicated division capacity exists for life science and pharmaceutical logistics (2M+ shipments completed) and optical/dental laboratory logistics (5M+ shipments completed, 100+ dedicated contractors).

OTD makes money through transaction fees on courier and overnight deliveries, managed services for warehousing and customized solutions (often multi-year contracts), and fuel surcharge pass-throughs. Go-to-market is sales-led via phone (954-567-3686), email, a website registration form, and an IC driver network; vertical segmentation covers life sciences, optical/dental labs, AOG/aerospace, e-commerce, legal, manufacturing, financial, food/hospitality, retail pool distribution, and home delivery. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no external funding, M&A, or leadership changes are recorded.
