WHAT IS FINAL MILE SERVICE?
Freight services like final mile or last mile include additional service and equipment options like the use of smaller trucks for limited access roads, inside delivery, carrying upstairs, removing packaging materials, and installing the item. The terms may also be used to describe the last “leg” or mile before delivery is made. One example is when using smaller trucks to make deliveries in residential neighborhoods or to locations with limited access roads (roads that are too narrow or fragile to withstand the weight and size of a standard 53′ dry van trailer).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FINAL MILE DELIVERY AND WHITE GLOVE?
Final mile delivery may include white glove services such as professional installation and setup. When white glove services are requested, a team of professionals will install the shipped item after delivery is made. For example, when you buy a new stove or oven online or in-store, your shipment will likely include white glove delivery services.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST AND FINAL MILE LOGISTICS?
First and final mile have opposite meanings. While first mile includes services like inside pickup and packaging services, final mile services include inside delivery and unpackaging. Both services involve special handling that comes at an additional cost depending on the selected carrier.
