Top Ten Express helped us out on a food-grade dry van shipment. Bart sent in clean equipment and were in communication throughout the trip. Great job by this carrier.

Smooth run w/this carrier, timely to appts and was quick w/paperwork. Only feedback is they could use some improvement w/communication as there was much to go off of. Luckily tracking was working well and we could get confirmations from them.

This team has a great on time track record with our company and has good rates to boot. On this load in question they hit everything on time and provided the paperwork once the load was complete.

I have done business with Top-Ten since 2017. They have handled both FTL and partials for me. I have not had any issues at all. Overall great job.
