I worked with Brandon on a load out of Ankeny IA delivering to Galena KS. We had them on a load for a new customer of ours and this carrier did not disappoint. They were in to load on time, kept me updated throughout transit and made delivery without incident. They did a great job!

A decent carrier, usually no issues w/timeliness. Dependent on shift, some dispatchers are more responsive than others. Have not had problems with tracking, but they still provide additional means to track just in case. Drivers tend to be most responsive via text and provide true times/etas :)
