Right after booking this load they provided driver info and asked what temp the reefer needed to be set at. They had no issues at any point during this load and this team was easy to work with!

Dispatch Nathan and driver Roman did a fantastic job. Not an easy run in bad weather. Driver loaded on time and delivered earlier than expected. Receiver said driver was great. We would recommend.
