Dear Valued Spee Dee Delivery Customer:
Companies across the country continue to struggle with the inability to hire and maintain quality employees. Spee Dee Delivery has been confronted with employment challenges throughout portions of our service area over the past several years. We’ve rolled out initiatives to help diminish the impact these issues have had on Spee Dee Delivery and our customers. Spee Dee Delivery is pleased to announce that we have seen a positive impact throughout our company. We consider our overall operations to be stabilized at this time and have lifted all previous service alerts.
