Stayed tracking while consistently supplying accurate ETA updates. Allowed the team to adjust their appointments when they hit traffic by the consignee.

TJ let us know that the driver was delayed to the shipper so we let them know and were able to get him loaded when he arrived. Was a very positive experience overall.

Dislikes

The driver was delayed after his previous delivery because there was an odor that required a wash out which caused them arrive after their loading appointment. We appreciate that he took care of this before he arrived though.

Great carrier to work and partner with. Andrew does a great job providing updates and communicates very well should issues arise.

Dislikes

Drivers are also great to work with. They always ensure shipments are on time. No issues or problems to report.
