TBS Express surpassed my expectations. They kept me updated with tracking information and communicated effectively at every stage. Their approach is a refreshing change from typical carrier experiences.

Solid carrier, was able to track during the entire haul with no issues. Also was punctual to pick up and delivery appointments. Provide great communication with updates during the haul when needed. Look forward to working with them again!

This carrier did a great job on a 700 mile run load for us. They stayed on tracking for the whole load and provided the paperwork once this was complete. Great team to work with!

Carrier was part of a large load that transferred hands a few times. Auto parts are not always the easiest with multiple drops and picks. These guys were on point and didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend!
