NHDA Accreditation – Accredited Final Mile Professional (AFMP)
Setting the Standard for Excellence in Final Mile Delivery
The National Home Delivery Association's Accredited Final Mile Professional (AFMP) recognizes organizations that demonstrate a commitment to safety, professionalism, compliance, and continuous improvement.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's Montgomery v. Caribe Transport decision, which increases scrutiny on carrier selection and negligent-hiring claims, AFMP provides 3PLs with a stronger framework for vetting carriers and identifying delivery partners that meet recognized industry standards.
Through industry-developed standards, training, and performance benchmarks, AFMP helps carriers strengthen operations while providing retailers, shippers, and 3PLs with greater confidence in their delivery partners.
Why AFMP Matters
The final mile is often the only direct interaction a customer has with a retailer's brand. The AFMP provides a trusted, industry-backed framework that promotes:
Safer Delivery Operations
Greater Consistency & Accountability
Improved Customer Experiences
Reduced Operational & Compliance Risk
A Stronger, More Professional Workforce
Industry-wide Standards for Service Excellence
Accreditation serves as a signal to customers, retailers, logistics providers, and business partners that an organization meets recognized standards for performance and professionalism.
