Likes

All around solid partner provider for all services they offer. Dry vans / flatbed / spot & award. Have a knack for the challenges and frustrations of the automotive business so pretty even-keeled. Solid communication & trailer tracking.

Dislikes

Carrier defers to online tracking updates too heavily. Can be hard to reach contacts for updates when urgent/timely updates are needed.
