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.

Load booked on Wednesday suppose to be delivered Sunday and transport company told me day before that they couldn't get there til Monday or Tuesday. Screwed many people relying on these two trucks for a major job with a deadline. Screwed vexus/ AT&T/ town of Borger texas along with others.
