We booked Southern Ag Carriers on a dry van load. Margaret and Jonathan were responsive to our requests for status updates. No issues making appointment times. They provided a 53' swing door trailer as requested and their equipment was reliable. Excellent job by a dependable carrier.

Dependable carrier, have run a lot of dedicated freight with them w/very few issues. Mostly slight timeliness issues, but communicated ahead of time by dispatch. Pricing is competitive as well.

Overall GREAT carrier! Dispatcher communication was outstanding providing all updates needed proactively. Driver communication has room for improvement. He was able to track the entire haul with no issues and on time to both appointments.

We have been working with this team for some time now and were dedicated carrier for a while. We have since lost the lane, but the job this team did will stick with us for a long time. Great team to work with!
