Communication with me was clear from the beginning. They answered quickly and kept me informed until delivery was completed. I got the paperwork right after the driver delivered.

The driver for this load was Dennis and he was on top of it. He arrived at a reasonable early time which helped him leave early. His tracking was consistent which helped with not needing much communication with him. What also helped us and the driver was that dispatch was who was giving us updates and documents.
