Carrier is a reliable carrier, picked and dropped on time. Carrier kept consistent communication since the load was booked. Paperwork was provided on time. Clean and dry trailer. Good equipment conditions. Tracking was also consistent.

Driver was on time for appointments and tracked the whole load. Dispatch could have communicated better. Took awhile to respond to emails and hard to get information from them.
