Constantly bounces off loads day-of. Be carful when booking loads and make sure they are not critical loads.

I had the dream team of Michael and Ricardo working this load. Really easy to work with as I could reach both of them super easily and never worried if delivery would be on time because tracking worked flawlessly. Great carrier to run your loads
