Using Central Transport has saved us alot on shipping cost, however missed pick ups and late deliveries have increased. Overall not a bad experience, with cheaper cost comes more issues.

SiLo

SILO is genuinely one of the best brokerage teams I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Their communication, professionalism, and reliability are consistently outstanding. Any time we work together, everything runs smoothly — from clear instructions to quick responses and fair handling of any situations that may come up.

I personally work very often with Cillian, and he is a truly exceptional representative of the company. Highly competent, tactful, attentive to details, and always respectful, he handles every load with precision and care. He and the SILO team are always available and ready to help, making even complex situations easy to navigate.

Working with SILO has always been a positive experience for us, and I genuinely look forward to continuing our cooperation.
