Apex Transit is great. They ran a dry van load with us. Thomas and Joseph responded to our check calls. Communication was there every step of the trip. Driver accepted electronic tracking and was on time.

Great experience with this carrier! The driver kept everything on track throughout the haul, with no issues along the way. Communication was clear and dependable from both the driver and dispatcher, whether through email or SMS. Plus, the driver was right on time for both the pickup and delivery appointments. Really smooth and reliable service overall!

They do a nice job as far as tracking consistently, making appts on time and being priced reasonably. Communication was lacking, unresponsive at times, so that could use improvement.
