I have used this carrier couple of times from Chicago IL area to Salt Lake CIty, UT that is a preferred lane, they showed up all time, and respond to all the emails when you need them to track, I would use again, no complaints

Orest Express is a little higher on their rates than some carriers but they do good work so I dont mind paying a little extra when I get excellent service out of it.

Dislikes

Nothing to complain about other than the rate. We will continue to load them at my brokerage.
