Pickup went fine, but delivery experience was significantly worse. Worked with dispatcher Bri and driver Riley. At first they were responsive and easy to reach, but when they were running late for delivery dispatch lied to keep us off their back. Frustrating to try and get a real ETA out of them

This carrier did not meet my expectations. Driver was 2hrs late to the p/u but he was on time for delivery. Tracking was great. Communication was not the best. It took many emails/phone calls to get updates/answers
