Our Customers

The way our customer couldn’t make up their minds where we were to deliver between MN and ND was not easy to follow but you handled the changes with ease and took off running with it.
You do a really nice job communicating, and I feel confident when sending you work. I know things going wrong in this business is pretty much expected, but if plans do change, you keep me updated.


This company is amazing! Within 24 hours they had five trucks headed to our customer’s pick-up point. They did not miss a beat. They made us look very good in the eyes of our customer.
When I am looking for a truck to haul 2,000 or 200,000 pounds of machinery, Josie is my first and only call. I have been dealing with Josie for two decades and she has earned my business and my trust.
