We have worked with this team more than a few times and they did a solid job for us. They are not without their issues, but on this occasion everything was made on time and driver stayed on tracking.

Oyster Freight Services helped us out on a food-grade dry van shipment. They sent in clean equipment and were in communication throughout the trip. Great job by this carrier.

They were on time for their appointments. We ran into an issue at the receiver and they were patient with us while we worked it out. The dispatcher communicated often and gave us updates when needed. The only issue is they did not track consistently.
