I would not use this carrier. We were booking a lot of loads with them but then we found them posting them on DAT under their brokerage authority and lied to us about it.

We have used Somat multiple times at my brokerage and we really enjoy working with them. They make appointment times, have a polite and professional staff and charge fair rates. Drivers even answer phones and provide accurate locations and ETAs.
- Dislikes
Nothing negative to say about this carrier. They have always done a good job for my team which is why we will continue to load them.
