Jat Of Fort Wayne ran a reefer food load. Heather had good equipment and maintained temp throughout transit. Electronic tracking was turned on by the driver. They provided good communication throughout the trip. Great job by this carrier.

What went poorly?
  • Poor Dispatcher Communication

Dispatch booked a same day load with us and then would not respond to emails or calls until an hour before the pickup appointment where they told us they thought the load was for tomorrow and cancelled on us.
