Spee-Dee, like many successful businesses, started out small. Donald Weeres, a determined 35-year-old farm boy from Richmond, Minnesota, started Spee-Dee in 1978. Donald used his pickup truck to deliver packages to local businesses. Spee-Dee actually started out as an on-call courier service. His goal was to establish a different overnight delivery service with superior services at a lower cost than the competition.

Even after more than four decades, Spee-Dee still adheres to the tenet of providing affordable, high-quality overnight service.

Over 12,000 shippers in nine states now benefit from Spee-Dee’s overnight package delivery service, which is dependable and affordable. Customers of the company rely on them to handle over 70,000 important packages per day. Spee-Dee has grown from its humble beginnings to employing more than 1,800 people and employing over 1,300 pieces of equipment to deliver packages daily.
