Picked up on time, delivered late but was weather-related. Dispatch warned of late delivery but did not follow up with an ETA. Delivered the same day though and tracked throughout. Good experience overall.

First time I book a load with this carrier and they did a good job, I received the updates when I required them and they sent me back the POD immediately once the load was delivered. The freight was in good condition, it was floor-loaded furniture
