Last-Mile Delivery

Definition

The final step in a supply chain, where goods are transported from a local warehouse or distribution center to their final destination—typically a store or a customer's home. This is a concept central to the debate over which delivery workers qualify for the FAA exemption.

Examples

  • Brock performed last-mile delivery by picking up Flower Foods products from a local warehouse and delivering them to retail grocery stores in his territory.
