Hiring a medical specimen courier shouldn't feel like a gamble.
when sourcing reliable transport for time-sensitive specimens, establishing recurring lab routes, or after a compliance incident with an existing courier vendor, you need a provider who shows up on time, knows their craft, and won't drop the ball on the details. But you're stuck cold-calling strangers from a Google search.
What's at stake when you hire the wrong one?
Substandard work
Missed details, incomplete deliverables, or unqualified staff. You won't know until it's too late.
Wasted budget
Rework, remobilization, and re-scheduling. Typical lost cost: $150-600 per route.
Downstream risk
Failed audits, delayed projects, or compliance exposure. One bad hire can cost you the whole engagement.
The solution
RouteStat takes the guesswork out of hiring.

Business verification
We confirm the business exists, is currently operating, and serves the listed markets.
Contact validation
Phone numbers, websites, and addresses are checked against public records.
Credential tracking
IATA DG Cat B and other certifications are flagged and checked where possible.
Review aggregation
Ratings and review data pulled from Google, Yelp, and industry sources.

Nick built this directory to help lab managers and hospital procurement teams find credentialed specimen couriers without relying on word-of-mouth — a gap he discovered after a reference lab lost a critical oncology biopsy due to an uncertified transport vendor with no documented chain of custody.
