Can anyone provide feedback on this carrier? Looking to give them a load.
Thanks all.
 
If using them intra Canada, they leave weekly from Montreal towards the west. They stack everything (not unusual), but they drop stuff on top of other freight directly, then deliver everything to local agents (also, not unusual). When there is a problem, they stop answering the phones and play dumb. Don't ship anything fragile or time sensitive with them.

I had the same almost the same problem as boss. 4 drops in Alberta and they were advised in advance of the delivery sequence. They missed the first appt. Which caused a domino effect. Then they had the audacity to bill me for extra time. They threatened to call my customers, so i paid then and thats the last time! DNU list
 
We've had issues a few times where they've picked freight up through an agent (which I'm fine with) but then at the 11th hour they advise us the freight will not fit on their line haul and will be left behind at their agents dock.
 
Never had a problem with Hudon... you just need to make sure to have all the info... the are awesome at LTL east to west....but multi drop stops... prob not their forte as they are an LTL carrier
 
You may be correct. It was a multi drop. Having said that, i guess we should not all be judged on one shipment, especially when multi drops.

I could ask that about many carriers... they try their best.... but working in this industry as long as I have... well I know who to call for what... and where their weakness's and strength's are... If you need milk run carriers... let me know the lanes... I could maybe refer some good partners.
 
I only run 5 trucks now, and i can't tell you My service isn't perfect but our team tries their best. Multi drops seem to cause problems even if we haven't done anything wrong. 1 or more of the deliveries can cause a delay. Thats the reason we ask our customers to make appt. times

Wow. Hope it worked out for you? Is there no way to protect from a carrier such as this interrupting your customer relationships if indeed they did call your customer?
