Mary L.
The delivery was done quickly but I got most of the communication through the driver. He was sent for the pickup in the morning instead of the afternoon so it messed up his time line. He also didn’t have the delivery address. Good thing the seller was able to give him our phone number.
Antonio G.
Easy to use, delivered as expected. Great experience.

Had a price we agreed on, and out of no where I was told I had to pay more because the size was incorrect and cause another shipment get get dropped. When shipment arrived, the driver told no other shipment was planned on the route. So I felt I got cheated.

Sorry to hear about this John. The transportation companies that bid on loads work off of the provided dimensions and we also ask that those dimensions are verified by the owner of the equipment. When the dims are off by inches or if the weight is incorrect, it can push a load into an oversized load which requires additional permits or a different trailer. is regulated by each state that the load travels through.

Driver called as he was picking up the load, a compact tractor. Arrived at the prescribed time with a phone call to alert me as to where he was.

The site was easy to use and set up my load. Had alot of interaction on my item to be shipped.
Buddy S.
Quick bids, fair price, quick contact to offer help. When I took a bid, it was seamless. Miscommunication between company and driver about arrival time, but he called me regularly to update. Not a problem. A few hours difference on a 500+ mile trip.

Transportation was easily arranged, and despite and breakdown along the way, another hauler was arranged for and the job completed.
