“WEEKEND LOAD / POOR COMMUNICATION / FALSE UPDATES”

- Strong Dispatcher Communication

- Poor Driver Communication
Windy City Carriers, blatantly gave me false updates. According to dispatch driver gave me a false update on being unloaded because the driver didn't want dispatch to know that he missed his delivery appt.
I understand things like this happen but the problem is the driver gave me no heads up to recover this in a timely manner.
Dispatch did respond to me eventually but booking a weekend load, I'd like quicker responses to avoid these situations. Would use again but most likely not on weekend loads.

The driver(s) are great at staying on tracking and giving updates via text. Dispatch is responsive as well and sends PODs quickly. Mid-priced and provide nice customer service from feedback we have received.
