Decent carrier, made on time pick up and delivery, tracked throughout and priced competitively. Only drawback was the driver was a bit snarky (via text) when trying to confirm check ins and delivery.

I'm very glad you were happy with our service. I wish we still had our dry-van division, but if you ever need us for other freight, I'm sure the team would be pleased to do business with you again!
