Does anyone have feedback on this carrier? M/C 968204, DOT 2884064.

Thanks!

Used them 3 or 4 times now. They were good.

Their pricing came in much lower than the others, so we almost were not going to use them. Tried em out out once, they did good, so we gave them a few more shipments.

I will say the communication on long runs is not the best.

Lowest price, not great communication on long runs = usually can mean double brokering. But all shipments went well.

Thanks Mike. Using a new carrier feels like walking through a potential land mine.

I dont think I could have said it any better than you just did lol

Any recent updates on this carrier out of CALGARY?

 

[B-Rad]

They have done a few loads for me. Communication definitely needs improvement but they picked up and delivered on time.

Communication lacks but as long have you have patience it does work out

 

[Wilfred71]

Patience in trucking? Who can afford to have that?

 

[normanjean]

Right now there are no patience in trucking or you get steam rolled over

Low prices which make me nervous, but have worked well for a few shipments so far. *fingers crossed*

 

[normanjean]

Low rate could mean just tryi ng to get driver home, we can't always look for issues. Lets try to be positive?

 

[Rob]

Never used him but the rates I have gotten out of Alberta scare me as they are way cheap and that usually means really bad imho. or worse a db scam and not needing to pay anybody twice.

 

[normanjean]

Rates are horrible in most areas not just Alberta

 

[Wilfred71]

Yes low rates typically arent a good thing but I like normajeans optimism. Although most times if there is smoke, there is fire. Yes I am a pessimist in this industry lately.

 

[normanjean]

In time customers will come inline again, it all takes time to educate

 

[Canuck25]

I'd rather pay more once than less twice

 

[normanjean]

Rates seen to be dropping like a rock. i guess customers and brokers think we work for free. Oh well we keel looking for the needle in the hay stack or the golden goose

We booked 3 loads from Calgary to Brighton, CO with them, around 2 months ago. Very nice service, great communication, picked up and delivered on time. Everything went pretty smoothly with them, so I'll definitely use them again.
