Red Star Freight Lines booked a dry van load with us. Pickup and delivery went smoothly. They sent in a trailer that was in good condition. Electronic tracking was turned on throughout the trip. Professional crew. We look forward to working with them in the future.

Great communication w/them! Have had a load where the trailer was rejected, but they stayed on and made it right. The driver cleaned out the trailer, returned for loading and still managed to make on time delivery. Appreciate their honestly, professionalism and dedication.
