Carrier Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Quick payment, good communication
"Paid within 15 days every time. Dispatch team answers the phone. Would haul for them again."
⭐⭐⭐ - Decent but watch detention
"They'll fight you on detention time. Get it in writing before you accept."
Always verify: Check FMCSA authority, call their main number (not the one they gave you), and get rate confirmation in writing before dispatch.
