I've done a lot of work with GrassHopper, they are very easy to work with. They have been a reliable carrier for us over the past year and have proven to be a valuable partner. They are on-time for pick up and deliveries, they communicate any problems as soon as they happen, and their rates are very fair compared to the market rates.
