We booked Kaplan Trucking on a dry van load. Dustin and Shelby 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.

This team ran a flawless load for us last month and we wanted to make sure they were given the proper credit for the great job they did. This team arrived on time for both sides of this load and made sure to stay on tracking. Dispatch and driver were easy to talk to and we will be working with them again.
