Same-day courier across NYC and New Jersey. Airport cargo pickup at JFK, EWR and LGA.
Price it, book it, we drive it. Point-to-point courier runs in the five boroughs and North Jersey, and air freight recovery from all three New York airport cargo terminals.
Two ways to work with us
Most customers hire us to drive. Some hire us to move the freight end to end. Different services, different paperwork — so we keep them separate.
Cartage and courier
You already have the airline booking, or you’re a forwarder with freight sitting at a terminal. We handle the ground leg: recovery from EWR, JFK or LGA, delivery into a cargo terminal, or a straight point-to-point run across the NY/NJ metro. We’re TWIC-credentialed, so marine terminal pickups at Port Newark and Elizabeth run without an escort.
When we run under your security program, we run as your agent. Our drivers hold current Security Threat Assessments and annual IAC security training, and we follow your chain-of-custody procedures. We work under your name, and we don’t quote your customer.
The instant form prices terminal pickups and point-to-point runs. Deliveries into a cargo terminal, oversized freight, recurring schedules and contract work are quoted by hand.
Air cargo forwarding
QCS Courier (Quiet Craft Solutions Inc.) holds a TSA-approved Indirect Air Carrier security program. That means we can accept your cargo, apply the required security controls, complete the documentation and tender it to the airline under our own program — pickup through uplift, one company, one point of contact.
We don’t screen in-house. Screening is performed by a certified screening facility or by the airline, and we hold chain of custody from pickup to tender. On any shipment, we’ll tell you where it was screened.
Air freight isn’t priced by the instant form. Send us the details and we’ll come back with a rate and a routing.
How it works
Courier and terminal-pickup runs are priced by the instant form. Air cargo is quoted by hand.
Price it
Pickup, dropoff, vehicle and time. The price comes from the road distance, instantly — no callback.
Book it
Your name, email and phone. That is the whole form. No card, no account, nothing charged.
We confirm and drive
We check every booking by hand, confirm it by email, run the job, and invoice afterwards.

What we hold, and what each one covers
Credentials only matter if you know what they authorize. Here’s ours, plainly.
| Credential | What it covers |
|---|---|
| TSA Indirect Air Carrier security program | Lets QCS accept cargo from a shipper, apply the required security controls and tender it to an airline under our own TSA-approved program. This is what makes the forwarding service possible. |
| Security Threat Assessment — all drivers | Federal background vetting required for anyone with unescorted access to air cargo. This is what a forwarder needs cleared before handing freight to an outside truck. |
| Annual IAC security training | Chain-of-custody and cargo-handling training, renewed every year. Carried by every driver who touches air freight. |
| TWIC | Unescorted access to Coast Guard–regulated marine facilities. This is what lets us run pickups at Port Newark and Elizabeth without an escort. It is not an airport credential — airport cargo terminals set their own access rules, and we work to each terminal’s. |
| Veteran-owned small business — VA and State of New Jersey | Certified at federal and state level for veteran-owned set-asides and corporate supplier-diversity requirements. |
What we don’t hold: we are not a Certified Cargo Screening Facility. Cargo we tender is screened by a certified facility or by the airline, and we hold chain of custody throughout.
