Large network
Multiple hubs spanning Midwest/Southwest/Southeast/Northeast
Solid regional & long-haul service options
Willing to quote long term & spot business, solid service on both- Dislikes
While overall service & communication are solid, some terminals/hubs are much more effective than others when it comes to day-of driver updates on brokered spot freight.
Very loyal to their customers, so when customer's surge they will drop brokered freight on the dime to cover. Not always honest about those dropped loads
