Overview

FreightWorks, an asset-based truckload carrier, was born out of FuelWorks - a small family-owned biodiesel plant in the foothills of North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains. When production exceeded sales, Joshua Farmer bid on a Volvo 670 that had one million miles - not actually intending to win. But he did. That first used truck started a new company and an exciting, incredible, unfolding story.

Decent carrier when we originally booked the load with them and sounded professional.

Dislikes

Despite the fact that the trip was booked as a team, the carrier sent only a single driver. The shipment was several days late.

Likes

Carrier was easy to work with at first, but once load was pick-up, service went down hill.

Dislikes

We booked a shipment as a team with the carrier and a solo driver was sent in. We made this discovery after the shipment was multiple days late. I recommend to stay away.
