Dispatcher Dajana and driver Ivica took wonderful care of my load. Made sure I always knew where the truck was and kept tracking running 24/7. The shipper even commented on how friendly Ivica was when checking in and getting loaded. Will happily work with this carrier again.

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.
