We are an honest trustworthy company that help our customer from start to finish.WE DO NOT BADMOUTH nor say anything bad to any companies because all of us needs business BUT we will absolutely give you some advice what to look for in choosing the right company for you.A lot of companies will give all the sales pitch just to get your order even mentioning BBB which we have to pay to be a member and a lot of consumers don't realize that every business establishment could pay.. be a member and have an excellent rating.LAST BUT NOT LEAST if you want to know how good the company is THE ONLY THING you would ask is JUST ASK HOW MUCH THEIR BROKERS FEE IS.If they mentioned no DEPOSIT upfront,its all included and they only charge once picked up (STILL ASK THEM HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE ) because that is the amount that they would make. Why pay a big deposit even don't they are not taking it right now.You are just making this company richer and they will tell you that they will start working on your order..CONSUMERS.We all use the same software so LOWER BROKERS FEE AND PAY THE TRUCKER more that's how you know that this brokers trully care for you as a customer.
