What went well?
  • On Time Pickup

I have used this carrier for LTL freight from CA TO CA, but if you use them for a CFS pick up they will over charge you to attempt those pick up, stay away from them on those pick ups, I have had missed pick up and delays with them, overall done ok for an LTL carrier.

Services LA -> SFO lane. Can't add anything positive.

Dislikes

Worst LTL carrier I have ever worked with. Turns away drivers for the smallest reasons, doesn't acknowledge receipt of work orders, asks for revisions to DOs much too late.
