Carrier who's been around and runs all types of trailers....got us out of a bad spot and picked this load up on time for first time customer, couldn't have done better
Overview
Wider Group Inc is a relatively new player as a Midwest truckload carrier but has over 100 years of combined experience in the transportation industry. Our unique approach in the ways we service our customers gives us an excellent advantage over many other carriers . In the past year we managed to limit our Lease Purchase fleet to only 2015 and newer units. That translates to less maintenance costs, virtually no downtime and excellent on-time performance for our truckload clientele.

Driver was held up by traffic for pickup, but was kind enough to inform us himself. Everything else for this load went smooth and had no other issues. Great communication overall.
