​“If it fits, we deliver.”
 
When Robert Dooley started in the delivery trade back in 1994, little would he have known that in 2023, he would be the president and founder of a business that provides business-to-business deliveries in Eastern Oregon and all along the 1-84 corridor from Portland, Oregon to Boise, Idaho, I-82 to Yakima, Washington, and I-90 to Spokane.  A graduate of La Grande High School and holder of a BA and MA in Business Administration from Eastern Oregon University, Rob attributes his success to the great crew working with him.
 
From its humble origins delivering food to local customers, Rob’s Speedy Delivery has grown since its inception in 2012 from one Toyota Prius to having 20 vehicles ranging from a small Ford Focus to a 24’ box truck with a lift gate. In 2017, Rob was joined by Carolyn Thompson as co-owner and chief operations officer.  Initially based in Pendleton, Rob’s Speedy Delivery acquired a second warehouse in La Grande on Monroe Avenue at the beginning of February 2023.
 
Rob’s Speedy Delivery works with all industries and transports a wide range of items, including everything from legal documents, interoffice mail and payroll checks to LTL (less than truckload) freight and auto parts, as well as pharmaceuticals, medical and environmental testing and supplies, and raw materials.  They also offer concierge pickup for short-order items in the construction industry as well.
 
Both Rob and Carolyn are passionate about providing local jobs and great service.  They are also firmly dedicated to volunteering their services to enhance their communities.  Carolyn provided all of the transportation for the cast and crew of “Breakup Season,” an independent production filming in La Grande this February.
 
With their belief in hometown values, a drive for excellence, and working with the credo that each package is personal, Rob’s Speedy Delivery is building relationships throughout the region that will shape their success for years to come.
