River City Logistics Inc

This is an excellent broker to work with. I personally work with Daniel Casteel and he is a great representative for the company. He has great communication skills and is very transparent. Even if something doesn’t go according to plan which happens in the volatile logistics space, he stays on top of the situation. He has great knowledge of the industry and deals with drivers with respect.
