One of the things you want the most in this business is clear and open communication. Thats exactly what I got when working with dispatcher Ernest.

They have a ton of capacity, but the dispatchers communication is lacking.
They will push your loads out and drop them back in your lap. Some of the dipatchers do a good job, while others make them tough to work with!

Decker has always been a staple carrier for us. They are always prompt and easy to get a hold of when needed. They have done several hauls for us all over the south east and mid west. They have done loads for us up & down the east coast and all the way to mid west and everywhere in between. They are always great at picking up on time and doing what is asked of them. I would recommend them.
