Bit of History
Starting as a humble cleaning service, ABS – Automated Building Service, for Baker Hughes at 10001 Richmond in 1977, a serendipitous need for a delivery service arose. Founders Larry Chess and Earl Pachter, with a vision and a dream, incorporated under the name A-1 Delivery Services on December 29, 1977, starting with just one pickup truck and a one-ton stake-bed to meet that need. A-1 Delivery Services, Inc. began its journey in January 1978, laying the groundwork for a trusted name in the delivery and logistics industry. In those early days, the fleet was modest, consisting of four independent contractors and one dedicated dispatcher. About a year later, both companies found a new home in a downtown warehouse. In July of 1999, Gerald Anhalt, who had been their loyal corporate accountant for the past eight years, along with his brother Melvyn Anhalt, took the helm and purchased the company. By December, they moved to 5322 Elm Street, where the heart of A-1 Delivery Services continues to beat today.
