So far it has been great
August 20, 2024

So far it has been great. We have had our load picked up and it is yet to be delivered on Monday. But as of now, freight star has been excellent in our endeavors to ship our purchase.

Multiple quotes
August 16, 2024

Multiple quotes. Bid awarded and hauler was in contact within minutes. Load got picked up next day and is on its way. Way less work than I thought it would be.

The gentleman booking my load was very polite and courteous, but he made two critical errors. He scheduled the pickup at Scottsbluff NE instead the tractor was at Torrington WY. Therefore, it was further than published and in a different state and the freight company charged me more than quoted. The width was also advertised wrong, so the dealer had to take the duals off and I am going to mount them back on the tractor!

Fast, easy, and best prices! I've used them several times and found it to be much cheaper than picking items up myself.

So far all is good. Service representative contacted me as soon as the auction was over, got me 4 good bids and once I accepted one of them, was contacted by the driver right away.

Great platform. Well organized and easy to navigate. Got a lot of great bids for transporting this tractor. Received a quick thorough follow up call from Forrest. Your team seems to be on top of everything.
