Very Easy. I received several bids with ratings on the carrier and was able to choose the best at the lowest price. Now I am in contact with the shipper.

Surprisingly easy to obtain multiple bids for the pick up and delivery of goods to be shipped long distances. Our experience with booking through company representative Alex Jensen was exceptional. We will definitely use this service in the future.

Load was easy to submit
March 22, 2025

Load was easy to submit. Fr8star staff was helpful and responsive. The shipper (proshippiers) was extremely fast, bid accepted on a Friday, load picked up in Indiana on Tuesday and delivered to north Idaho on Thursday. Great experience
