Red Star was on time for pick up and dispatch was good about giving updates at first however driver tracked incorrectly the entire load . Had to call dispatch and send emails before finally getting a response all information was correct however tracking was still wrong no idea why . Dispatch gave updates when asked and the load was delivered on time . Would work with the carrier again

Trailer needed a cleanout, they went to wash out but loaded late. They stuck with the load and drove overnight to deliver on time. Good communication, good tracking.
