We have used them for multiple loads, they get there on time, can easily get ahold of dispatcher and driver for updates on the location of the load.

Dislikes

They are a great company to work with their dispatchers are always helpful and know where their trucks are. I would recommend working with them.

These are great people to work with the dispatch team is friendly always ahead of the game, fair rates, and willing to take other lanes other then their preffered

Dislikes

The only thing they could improve upon is communication, just a more timely update for us to know when the truck is either loaded or at pick up

Likes

Great Lakes Trucking was a good carrier for a spot load that came up. Their pricing was fair and they picked up and delivered on time

Dislikes

Great Lakes was communicative throughout the process, however, we did not get an initial call in from the driver, which is required per rate confirmation. No complaints and would use again.
