I have worked with this company quite a few times and always have great communication, service and up to date notifications. Will recommend them to anyone in need of their services and will be using them again in the future.
Overview
We are an independently, family-owned transportation business. We have been in the transportation business since the early 50’s, when Charles Monin hauled his first load of bulk milk. Through hard work and dedication, we have grown from a single truck operation to over 60 trucks. Today, our fleet consists of 60-65 trucks, over 300 trailers, 35 refrigerated units. It was never our goal to become a big trucking company, but to provide excellent services based on the needs of our customers, we grew.

Email after email for updates and nothing. I finally called and alerted them I was frustrated and got an attitude. Once load was booked no one would respond to emails.
