I contacted FR8star because I was bidding on a tractor at Auctiontime.com and wanted to have the delivery lined up as quickly and cleanly as possible. I won the bidding and set in motion the p/u delivery for the next day after payment was confirmed. The assigned broker thru FR8star agreed to full payment upon confirmed p/u thru credit card transaction thru a secure site on line ( I did not do phone pay or PayPal as they wanted). Was assured that p/u would be 3-6 days and delivery 1-3 days later. Many more conversations later with BOTH parties and nine days, the dispatcher for the p/u broker calls and says that on the way to p/u at 3 pm the Friday before a holiday weekend, the driver's transmission blewout. I cancelled the P/U under threat that I will be liable for the cancellation. The Monday following this the mgr. for the transport broker was sending me a contract for P/U allowing another 3-6 days for P/U. I refused the offer. Wednesday morning I contacted a local dispatch agent and had my tractor unloading at my location by Thursday afternoon. Forget these guys, local haulers have more contacts and are more responsive.
The price of shipping was very reasonable.
They kept me informed throughout the process. What seemed daunting at first was made easy by their personnel.
WOW, a company that ACTUALLY does what they say they can do. Monday morning I gave them the job, Tuesday morning they picked up my Skidsteer, Wed morning after 650 miles I received it. Rose Borer was my agent and she kept me informed throughout the entire process with numerous emails/text messages. I cannot be happier with the shipping process. Rose, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Everything went smoothly. Paid for the equipment at 10am, the equipment was picked up at 3:30 and I had the equipment by 9pm the same day. I was truly surprised with the speed and efficiency of the service.
First time user and my shipment was handled very professionally from Quote to delivery. Would most definitely use them for my next shipment. Joe was most helpful through the entire process.
Logan helped me get started and checked back to see how things were going. Won the bid on the tractor on Wednesday got shipping arranged was here on the next Wednesday
