STAT Courier Service — Immediate Rush Dispatch, 24/7.
OnDemand Prime provides STAT courier service across LA Metro, Orange County, the Inland Empire and San Diego — a driver is dispatched the moment the call lands, ahead of the standing schedule, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. STAT dispatch is built for the runs where a delay is not an inconvenience but a real problem: a specimen, a filing deadline, a down-line part.
Immediate Dispatch, Whatever the Cargo.
STAT Medical Runs
Specimens, pharmaceuticals and equipment dispatched the instant the call comes in, with chain-of-custody documentation on every run.
STAT Legal & Document Runs
Filing deadlines and signed documents that need to move immediately, escalated ahead of the standing dispatch schedule.
STAT Parts & Emergency Freight
Down-line parts, recovery loads and time-critical shipments dispatched immediately rather than routed into a scheduled linehaul.
Built for the call that can't wait.
STAT customers don't call dispatch to schedule something — they call because something has already gone outside the plan. A hospital lab needs a specimen moving right now; a law firm just realized a filing is due today; a manufacturer's line just stopped. Dispatch treats every STAT call as immediate, not next-in-queue.

- Law firms with imminent deadlines
- Manufacturers with down-line parts needs

Common Questions About STAT Courier.
How fast is STAT courier dispatch?
A driver is assigned the moment the call lands — STAT runs are escalated ahead of the standing dispatch schedule rather than queued behind it. Exact pickup time depends on where the nearest available driver is; dispatch confirms that window on the call, 24/7.
What's the difference between STAT and same-day delivery?
Same-day delivery moves within the business day on its own slot. STAT dispatch means a driver is assigned immediately, ahead of everything else, for runs that cannot wait even an hour.
Do you provide chain-of-custody documentation on STAT runs?
Yes — timestamped pickup, GPS route record and recipient signature or photo confirmation apply to STAT runs the same as any scheduled delivery. Speed does not skip documentation.
Can STAT courier handle medical specimens?
Yes — STAT specimen dispatch is one of the most common uses of this service, with temp-aware handling and chain-of-custody documentation on every run.
Is STAT courier available at night and on weekends?
Yes — dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A STAT call at 2am on a Sunday is handled the same as one at 2pm on a Tuesday.
How much does STAT courier cost?
STAT dispatch carries a priority rate above scheduled or same-day service, reflecting the immediate driver assignment. Dispatch confirms an exact quote at 1-844-874-6311 or through the quote form, 24/7.
