Carrier was very aproachable. Both driver and dispatcher kept good and consistent communication, there is a little room for improvement. Equipment was in good condition (clean and dry). Tracking was also consistent and rate was fair based on the marked. Would like to work with this carrier again.

It has been some time since we have worked with this team but they left a lasting impression and did a great job on the loads they ran. On this load, everything was hit on time and the driver stayed on tracking.
