Alex (dispatcher) with Windy City is professional and will not waste your time. He is a go-getter and a communicator. He is fair with his pricing and will provide the best service with mutual respect toward brokers and customers. We have done over 8 reefer loads in the past year. He has made on time delivery for each one without fail. We will continue to work with him for as long as we are both in business.

They let us know when they picked up in Walton and they let us know when they were unloaded in Franklin, WI.
- Dislikes
They could improve on turning in BOL or POD's quicker than they have.

Booked them on a same day run. They originally wanted a much higher rate but I told them exactly how much we had in it and that we were in a tight spot and they agreed to run it for that. Picked up and delivered on time no issues at all. Communication with dispatcher/driver was good.
- Dislikes
We only reach out to carriers with high rates when we are in a tight spot. Would rather have a carrier that wants to build a relationship
