We have worked with this team more than a few times in the past. On this instance everything was made on time and we had no issues. We have a had a few loads in the past with minor delays, but this load was on point.

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.
