This team has run numerous loads for us and they have had their issues in the past, but their communication makes up for any issues that may arise. The driver was running behind on this load and made sure to reach out to us to inform us of the pickup location and did not have to wait long due to us reaching out to them. They had no other issues and the delivery was made on time.
