Working in the courier/messenger and home delivery businesses for over 20 years, Dave Thompson saw a need that wasn't being addressed. He envisioned a company that would offer all the delivery service capabilities of large providers but with a customized, flexible, and accessible approach for clients, employees, and contract drivers.

Dave believed he could offer true cost savings and increased satisfaction by being a partner with his clients, not simply a vendor. Great service could be achieved with flexible value-added logistics, service guarantees, and "hands-on" senior management.

Developing a culture to promote growth for employees and contractors was integral to his business strategy. Dave envisioned an environment to develop, recognize, and promote those who made a commitment to excellence. He wanted both employees and contractors to share his "Whatever It Takes" attitude and commitment to deliver total client satisfaction.

In 1997 Dave Thompson founded Delivery Solutions Inc. (DSI) operating a single truck for their first client, Sit 'N Sleep. Soon, another team was added, marking the beginning of significant growth for both companies. Today, DSI manages a 7-day a week operation supporting all Sit ’N Sleep stores and their telemarketing operation.

Since its inception, DSI has made over 2 million customer deliveries.
