History of
American Expediting Company

In 1983, Victor Finnegan founded a one-person rush, same-day courier operation in Philadelphia. Mr. Finnegan, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business, was the company's courier, customer-service representative, accountant and salesman. Within a year, the company known as American Expediting Company was successfully competing with the city's top messenger services. By 1988, it was considered one of the leading time-critical delivery organizations in Philadelphia.

Today, American Expediting Company boasts 29 locations that serve the continental United States. Air services, a national logistics program, distribution and warehousing capabilities, emergency fulfillment, and facilities management have augmented its original ground transportation operations. Advanced technology provides customers with online ordering and tracking options. With such options, customers can quickly and easily determine the status of a package, from pick-up to delivery.

An area of pride for the company is the continued satisfaction of our customers, satisfaction that begins with the courtesy and helpfulness of our service representatives and dispatchers and concludes with the speed and professionalism of our courier contractors. American Expediting is grateful to its staff of dedicated, hard-working people whose efforts have helped the company grow into a leading and successful organization…and a solution provider.
