Pharmacy logistics isn't one job — it's a mix of predictable daily routes and urgent, after-hours exceptions. We cover both:
Long-Term Care Routes
Scheduled daily or multi-day pickup and delivery loops between your pharmacy and LTC facilities, assisted living communities, and group homes across St. Louis City & County, St. Charles County, and the Illinois Metro East.
Hospice STAT Deliveries
Comfort-care medications don't follow a schedule. We handle urgent hospice deliveries evenings, nights, and weekends — with direct phone contact to your on-call staff.
Specialty Pharmacy Transfers
High-value specialty medications moved with documented chain-of-custody from pickup to handoff — every transfer signed, timestamped, and confirmed.
Independent Pharmacy Support
Same-day prescription deliveries, inter-pharmacy transfers, and patient home deliveries that help independents compete with the chains.
How It Works
- Scheduled routes: We design a recurring route around your facilities and run it like clockwork — daily, weekdays, or on your custom cadence.
- STAT on-demand: Call or request online and we dispatch immediately during coverage hours — including evenings and weekends when most couriers go dark.
- Chain-of-custody documentation: Every pickup and delivery is logged with time, location, and signature. You get proof-of-delivery for your records.
- One point of contact: No phone trees, no dispatch runaround. You talk directly to the person moving your medications.
Compliance, Taken Seriously
Pharmacy buyers are right to ask hard questions. Here's where we stand:
- HIPAA-aware handling: Our drivers are trained in HIPAA-aware procedures for protected health information. (We say "HIPAA-aware" deliberately — real HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility between you and every vendor, backed by a signed BAA.)
- Chain-of-custody: Documented handoffs on every delivery — who picked it up, when, where it went, who signed.
- Missouri common-carrier framework: Missouri law recognizes common carriers hired solely to transport legend drugs — no drug distributor license is required for the courier itself (RSMo §338.330). We operate within that framework.
- Background-checked drivers: Every FastLane driver is background-checked before touching a pharmacy run.
After-Hours Is Our Home Turf
Most pharmacy emergencies happen after 5 PM — a hospice patient needs comfort meds at 9 PM, a facility is short a controlled fill on Saturday. We're built for exactly that: weeknights from 2:30 PM, weekends, and holidays by arrangement. No "we'll get to it Monday."
Service Area
We serve pharmacies, LTC facilities, and hospices throughout a ~50-mile radius of St. Louis: St. Louis City & County, St. Charles County, Jefferson & Franklin Counties, and the Illinois Metro East (Belleville, O'Fallon, Edwardsville, and surrounding communities).
