01 · Services

What we move, and how.

Five service modes, one dispatch team. Every pickup is logged, chain-of-custody is maintained end-to-end, and every driver is trained for medical transport.

SVC 02

Routed lab runs

Scheduled multi-stop routes for reference labs and hospital networks. Consistent drivers, consistent timing — the backbone of sample logistics.

  • Daily, multi-daily, or overnight cadence
  • Temperature-monitored transport
  • Barcode scan at every stop

SVC 03

Specialty pharmacy home delivery

White-glove delivery of high-touch medications to patient homes — including cold-chain, signature required, and refusal protocols.

Learn more
SVC 04

On-demand

Same-day pickups for anything you didn't see coming — a redraw, a forgotten lot, a last-minute transfer across town.

SVC 05

After-hours

Nights, weekends, holidays. Same dispatch team, same standard. Medical work doesn't stop at 5pm and neither do we.

04 · Why Atlas

47 years is a long time to get this right.

Atlas has been running medical transport in Texas since 1979. That's four decades of relationships with hospital systems, four decades of driver training, and four decades of showing up.

05 · How it works

From pickup to proof of delivery.

Every job follows the same path — whether it's a STAT tissue run or a routed pharmacy delivery. Consistency is the whole point.

Step 01

Request

Place an order through our client portal, by phone, or via API integration. Dispatch acknowledges within minutes.

Step 02

Dispatch

Nearest qualified driver is assigned. You see driver, vehicle, and ETA in real time.

Step 03

Transport

Temperature-monitored, chain-of-custody logged, GPS-tracked from pickup to drop.

Step 04

Proof of delivery

Signature captured, timestamped POD sent automatically to your team and systems.

06 · Family of companies

A J.H. Walker company.

Atlas is part of a larger Texas-owned logistics family — from full-truckload freight to same-day big-and-bulky delivery. When your shipment doesn't fit in a medical cooler, we have a sister company for that.
