The submitting of a load and accepting or denying a bid was very simple.

I was told I was fully insured when the trailer was in transit. When it arrived, it had the fender well ripped off from a tire blowing out, and then they said that was not part of the fully insured. I guess my interpretation of fully insured is different.

FR8Star attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Initial contact was good and a service was suggested. Transaction soon became a debate and the agent, Michael Altman became arrogant and condescending. Likely will not use this service in the future.

I gave this load to you as Uship wasn't able to book my move fast enough. Expressway Logistics said they could have it loaded 'next day" this is now 3-4 days later and my vehicle is still sitting in Louisiana.
