Daytona Freight Systems - Brampton

They have not paid in a number of months, also lots and lots of double brokering.
sorry :9
I have to give a well deserved THANK YOU to Daytona. We had them on a critical show freight shipment for arrival in Las Vegas. They loaded on time but ran into a delay at the border when the shipper had filed incorrect paperwork. Not only did they wait all day last Friday for the problem to be solved, but switched to a team after running half way to the destination. Even when Mother Nature threw them a curve ball with closed highways in CO., they were able to make the delivery just as the show opened this morning. Excellent communication 24 hours every day, including screen shots of text msg with the drivers and satellite tracking. They could have thrown in the towel any number of times during this ordeal and pretty much told us to f**k off, " the load will get there when it gets there", something we have all heard too often in these situations. No, they carried on and provided continuous updates and allowed us to call their drivers directly on their cell. Both our customer and ourselves are more than happy to agree to extra charges for the border delay and for the switch to a team while enroute. We have done a few previous shipments with this outfit without incident, but after this display of stellar service, we will try to connect with them whenever we can. When credit for a good job is warranted, I strongly believe in giving it. Highly recommended.
I RECOMMEND DAYTONA ALSO!

Reactions: flatbeders
I have an October 3rd invoice outstanding. Advised cheque was mailed mailed jan 10. Never received the cheque. Was told a replacement cheque will be mailed tomorrow. A/P has been very difficult to get answers from. . Freight was also double brokered. On our DNU list
 
@youngtea - yes in my case - i've confirmed that 100 percent they pulled at least 4 loads from a shipper that I sent them to originally. They have not replied to any of my emails requesting both a response or requesting that they discontinue to prevent escalation.
 
Used this carrier on some freight recently, great communication, and great work. I hope they don't back solicit, but they seem to have a strong asset base for flatbed now. Dispatcher communicated that they are only doing flatbed transportation now so I think I will def use them again. Will watch to see if they back solicit
 
I can't use them, updates are impossible to get, transferred to 4 different dispatchers, safety, the owner, his dog lol. Brutal.
Here is the other dispatch teams note from 6 months prior:
"USE AT OWN RISK > These guys are a complete gong show, their communication sucks and they were late for every appt they had."

Surprised! I use them weekly for some freight out of the north east. Did you reach out to the VP, great guy! You can PM me i'll give his info.

No wonder they lost their CTPAT certification....
 
wow, I use to have trouble with them - but the owners son is heavily involved now especially ever since they downsized to primarily flatbeds - but I did hear they run a handful of reefers still. I deal only with him he's from Toronto to so maybe why I haven't encountered problems. I'll be careful on next few loads, but they've been great so far for me.
