Fr8star broker was good and got me the price i wanted. But the broker company for the trucker tried to charge me extra for a delay at the pickup site which was not agreed upon. Shady business practices.

Mike did a great job organizing my haul. He explained the process of the load and it arrived ahead of schedule. In this post covid world that was awesome.

It was my first time using an out-of-state company to transfer a load for me. They were very helpful in walking me through the process and getting it all set with no problems.

Smooth with many choices

Smooth with many choices. The ability to message different carriers and ask questions was very helpful prior to locking in a transpoter.

Notified this FR8Star 6/24 concerning moving track loader from FL to SC, I spoke with a young man named Travis. He thoroughly explained the process and walked me thorough getting my shipment listed; the process was super simple. I have been in the construction business for nearly 45 years and have used many transport companies, but never have been so pleased with the process then this experience. Over the next 12 hours we received many bids to move our machine, Travis walked me through each bid, recommending the top companies, and finally I asked him to choose the one he likes to best. I would highly recommend FR8Star to anyone looking for a transporter... Ask For Travis. Oh by the way the shipment will be delivered today 2 days after booking and at a price much lower then I expected.
