What went well?

What went poorly?
  • Intermittent Tracking
  • Poor Driver Communication

This carrier is okay, the have a gap for improvement in the communication, as the tracking was not consistent and they didn't have a strong communication on email or text messages. Apart from that, I would use them again.

Likes

Our coordinator, Lucy, is communicative, friendly, prompt in response and does her best to get us the best rates and shipment plans for what we need.

Dislikes

Sometimes using brokered contractors, we did not receive tracking information on our shipment. This was not a big deal for what we needed, but if you do, be sure to ask for it.
