It operates a fleet of small vans that moves packages to and from a central depot within each city and uses a common carrier to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. Gibson Delivery recently acquired approximately $7.0 million of cash capital from its owners, and its president, George Hay, is trying to identify the most profitable way to invest these funds.
