FR8Star/Foster was good to work with but Armstrong Brokerage is below the bottom of the barrel. I checked with the top person in commercial enforcement for the state of Mo and you DO NOT measure mirrors or tarping attachments when measuring the width of a truck! Armstrong added $300 to my bill AFTER sending my invoice. They would not even discuss it with me! I would not trust them to move a dog house for me! Paul Siegel

Erick was terrific in keeping me up to date on the status of my excavator move. The driver was professional and took great care and made sure that the move was safe and secure. Thanks for the great efforts by all, very much appreciated.

Very easy and simple process to gather quotes for shipping. We purchased an item on an auction that was out of state and needed to find a freight company that could get it moved shortly after the auction closing date.

Always a pleasure doing business with Fr8star

Updated review

Always a pleasure doing business with Fr8star. We have had some tractors delivered and it is always good. Funny story when we got a delivery the truck driver wore shorts and flip flops. We live in New York. He was very cold and ready to get back in the cab of his truck.
