We booked Convoy Systems on a dry van load. They were responsive to our requests for status updates. No issues making appointment times. They provided a 53' swing door trailer as requested and their equipment was reliable. Excellent job by a dependable carrier.

It has been some time since this team has run a load with us, but the last load our team ran with this company went very well. The driver arrived on time for both sides and stayed on tracking the whole trip. There was no issues at any point.
