I had some trouble getting logged in at FR8Star [kept saying one of the fields was not completed]. But, I called, and from that point everything worked smooth as silk with FR8Star. It was quick and easy, no complaints. The good experience continued when connected with the trucking firm, Kirsch Transportation. I thought the rate was fair, and they got on it quickly. Lots of prompt & friendly emails; they even got it picked up and delivered a day sooner than promised.
Thanks to all involved!

1ST tractor, I didn't get as many updates as nice allows and wound up taking and extra morning from work, but the move went OK and I got the tractor. The 2ND move I have heard from anyone yet, so we'll see how this one goes.
