As temperatures drop and snow looms, logistics operations face heightened risks. At Aria Logistics, we take a proactive approach. Our maintenance teams, drivers, and systems are all primed for cold-weather performance — so every route stays safe, reliable, and on schedule.

Why Winter Prep Matters in Last-Mile Logistics

In white-glove and final-mile delivery, fragile goods and tight schedules leave no room for error. One breakdown or delivery delay in winter can damage your reputation. That’s why we emphasize fleet readiness, driver training, and weather-aware operations well before the first flake falls.

Key Winterizing Steps We Rigorously Follow

1. Full Seasonal Vehicle Inspections

• Test and reinforce heating, cooling, defrosting systems
• Load-test batteries and replace aging units
• Inspect brakes, suspension, steering, hoses, belts
• Use cold-weather rated fluids and filters
• Evaluate tires: tread, pressure, balance, and deploy winter-rated sets when needed
• Clear and maintain exhausts and air systems

2. Driver Safety Training & Protocols

• Refresher modules on icy-road driving, black-ice awareness, and safe braking
• Pre-route briefings with weather forecasts, route hazards, and contingency plans
• Equip trucks with winter kits: scrapers, blankets, jumpers, high-vis gear, emergency rations
• Encourage a “safety first” mindset — we’d rather delay than risk lives or cargo

3. Operational Adjustments for Snow & Ice

• Build buffer time into schedules
• Sequence routes to visit riskier zones earlier
• Hold spare parts at regional hubs (tires, filters, belts)
• Monitor forecasts in real-time and dynamically re-route when needed
• Keep clients informed proactively when delays due to weather occur

Winter logistics isn’t about reacting to snow; it’s about preparing well in advance. At Aria Logistics, safety is the foundation of every operation — and it shows in the routes we complete, even under the harshest conditions.

These innovations allow us to operate smarter, respond faster, and reduce friction at every stage of the logistics process — ensuring that deadlines are met, even during the heaviest delivery windows.

Dedicated Teams, Seamless Deliveries

Behind every successful delivery is a team committed to excellence. Aria’s dedicated operations and customer service professionals work around the clock to maintain the highest standards of care. Whether managing large retail shipments or specialized deliveries, our people bring experience, adaptability, and focus to every mile traveled.

Reliable Last-Mile Strategies

The last mile is often the most critical — and the most complex. Aria Logistics has strengthened its last-mile solutions to guarantee speed and reliability, even under the tightest timelines.

At Aria Logistics, we believe that exceptional home delivery goes beyond logistics — it’s about delivering a brand experience that starts in the galleries/showrooms and extends beyond the customer’s front door. To bridge that connection, we’re proud to introduce our newest initiative: Tour du Jour.

Introducing Tour du Jour

The Tour du Jour Home Delivery Program was created to immerse delivery teams in the brands they represent. By bringing our delivery teams into the galleries/showrooms, Tour du Jour helps them see, feel, and understand the brand culture firsthand — transforming each delivery into a seamless extension of the in-store experience.

Our teams don’t just deliver furniture; they deliver the story, personality, and values that make each brand unique.

Kicking Off the Tour

We officially launched Tour du Jour with an incredible kickoff event hosted by Restoration Hardware in Newport Beach, California. This immersive day gave our teams the chance to explore RH’s luxurious gallery, connect with local sales leaders, and gain a deeper understanding of the brand’s premium customer experience.

Building on that momentum, we continued our Tour du Jour journey with Bob’s Discount Furniture in Secaucus, New Jersey. There, our teams experienced Bob’s unique culture of fun, value, and customer care — a perfect reminder that every delivery is an opportunity to bring the Bob’s brand promise to life.

What Tour du Jour Delivers

Each Tour du Jour event offers an inside look into what makes a brand special. Teams participate in hands-on activities, showroom tours, and leadership discussions designed to inspire pride and professionalism on every route.

Tour du Jour Highlights:

• Immersive gallery/showroom experiences
• Meet and greets with local sales leaders
• Deeper understanding of each brand’s story and mission
• Strengthened  brand connection from gallery/showroom to home

Thank You to Our Partners

We extend our sincere appreciation to Restoration Hardware and Bob’s Discount Furniture for trusting our vision and joining us in redefining what home delivery means. Their partnership and collaboration have set the tone for what’s to come as we continue to expand the Tour du Jour program.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we proudly celebrate the voices, leadership, and contributions of Hispanic entrepreneurs who are reshaping industries and creating lasting impact. At Aria Logistics, this celebration is deeply personal—because representation is at the very heart of who we are.

As the only woman- and minority-owned logistics company at our scale specializing in dedicated last mile delivery, Aria Logistics stands as a testament to resilience, innovation, and empowerment in an industry traditionally dominated by larger, less diverse players.

A Legacy of Leadership

Founded in 2013 by Arelis Bonilla, Aria Logistics began with a clear mission: to simplify transportation management and elevate the client experience through care, precision, and reliability.

As a Latina leader in logistics, Arelis has broken barriers while inspiring a new generation of women and minorities to envision themselves in spaces where they’ve historically been underrepresented. Her vision extends far beyond logistics—it’s about building an industry where diversity, innovation, and opportunity thrive together.

The Power of Representation

Representation matters, and in logistics it is rare. Aria’s position as a Hispanic woman-led business at scale brings fresh perspective and much-needed diversity to the global supply chain. With over 80% of our staff representing minority backgrounds, and certification as a minority-owned business, we are proud to lead by example in an industry that has historically lacked representation.

For clients, this means partnering with a company that blends world-class service with values rooted in integrity, collaboration, and community.

For the industry, it means Aria is paving the way for inclusion, challenging norms, and proving that excellence and diversity go hand in hand.

For future generations, it shows that leadership doesn’t have one face—it can be bold, diverse, and unapologetically authentic.

Small Enough to Care. Big Enough to Scale.

Our motto reflects our heritage and our drive:

• Small Enough to Care: Family-owned and community-focused, we never lose sight of the people behind every shipment and delivery.
  
• Big Enough to Scale: With nationwide reach and cutting-edge logistics solutions, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest players in the industry.
  

This dual strength—personalized care with scalable solutions—is what sets Aria apart, allowing us to serve global brands while staying true to our cultural values of family, hard work, and respect.

Honoring Hispanic Heritage Month

At Aria Logistics, Hispanic Heritage Month is more than recognition—it’s a reminder of why we do what we do. It’s about honoring the sacrifices and achievements of those who came before us, while empowering others to break barriers and chart new paths.

We are proud to be the only woman minority-owned logistics company at our scale in dedicated last mile delivery. And we are even prouder to continue setting an example for what leadership, diversity, and excellence look like in logistics.

Because when we celebrate heritage, we celebrate the strength that shapes the future.

Founded in 2013 by Arelis Bonilla, Aria Logistics has grown from a family-owned business into a premier leader in transportation. Our nationwide reach allows us to scale for events as large as New York Fashion Week, while our commitment to excellence ensures every client feels personally cared for.

We combine state-of-the-art processes, deep industry expertise, and a network of over 4,000 shippers to deliver unmatched results. From last-mile home delivery to multimodal transportation, we pride ourselves on simplifying logistics while elevating the customer experience.
