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.

Overall the carrier was good. Driver missed his p/u appt but made the delivery appt with time to spare. Tracking was not good at all. Not sure what the issue was on our end. Thankfully the dispatcher communicated throughout the trip so we knew where the driver was at all times.
