When it comes to air cargo medical shipments arriving at Denver International Airport (DIA), precision and urgency are non-negotiable. At On The Clock Logistics, our TSA-certified medical couriers specialize in retrieving sensitive healthcare cargo — like blood samples, lab kits, and temperature-critical specimens — with the highest level of care.
Our Denver medical courier services are designed not only to be fast but also to meet the stringent handling requirements that these time-sensitive deliveries demand.
Step 1: Secure Retrieval from the Air Cargo Terminal
Whether it’s a Kolob Express import or a Next Flight Out medical shipment, our team starts by checking in at airline cargo terminals like Southwest Cargo or United Cargo at DIA. We verify paperwork, present TSA credentials, and confirm shipment IDs.

Step 2: Verifying Contents and Dry Ice Levels
Many medical air shipments, especially those containing blood or pathology specimens, arrive packed in insulated containers with dry ice. Our couriers are trained to:
- Inspect the packaging for damage or compromise
- Confirm that dry ice is still present and actively cooling the contents
- Add additional dry ice if necessary to maintain temperature integrity during final-mile delivery
This dry ice replenishment ensures the specimens remain viable until they reach the lab or hospital.
Step 3: Handling Data Loggers and Temperature Monitors
Some shipments include temperature loggers or data tags, which are critical for tracking whether a specimen stayed within its required range throughout transit. Our drivers retrieve these devices on delivery and return them to the designated lab or include them in the return shipment — depending on client instructions.
⚙️ Need a courier who understands proper handling of loggers and medical shipping protocols? We’ve got Denver covered.
Step 4: Direct, Dedicated Delivery
We don’t batch or delay medical deliveries. Every shipment is treated as a dedicated run — picked up and delivered without detours, detainment, or cross-loading. Whether we’re headed to a lab in Aurora, a hospital in Centennial, or a research facility in Boulder, your shipment gets direct transportation from tarmac to doorstep.
Step 5: Chain of Custody and Proof of Delivery
We maintain full chain-of-custody documentation, including:
- Timestamped pickup and delivery records
- Signature confirmation from authorized personnel
- Internal logging of temperature notes or dry ice handling
- Return of loggers or empty containers if needed
At On The Clock Logistics, we know medical air freight isn’t just another delivery — it’s often a life-saving mission. Our specialized couriers bridge the gap between DIA’s cargo terminals and Colorado’s top healthcare facilities with precision, speed, and care.
