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.
This is the second time we have used Fr8star and both times, we have been very pleased. Nina was very helpful and I can't thank her enough.
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.

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.

I put in a request for a quote and within minutes I had 4 or 5 quotes to review. As it happened, the lowest quote was with someone with lots of loads delivered and a real good rating. That's the one I chose.

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

So far very good. First time so more paper work than I expected but easy to this point

I used to have my CDL and drive more local with an occasional cross country load. I wish I could have had folks as nice and willing to help answer questions for each load. You drivers know that usually each load is unique with all different kinds of instructions. These guys are great to work thru all the details making a good experience for both me the customer and hopefully the driver as well. Thanks! Lee

How FR8Star Works
1. Build the load. Customers tell FR8Star about their load, including its origin and shipping destination.
2. Get an instant estimate. Customers request firm bids from the transport companies. FR8Star provides instant estimates at no charge to the customer. Estimates are supplemented by FR8Star's wide array of transport companies and up-to-date industry data.
3. Compare transport bids. Bids placed are completely transparent, with prices reflecting the total cost to move the shipment, so there are no hidden costs.
4. Award the load. Once a bid is accepted, FR8Star will release the customer's contact information to the winning bidder. The bidder contacts the customer to confirm details, match the load with the right truck, and make payment arrangements.
That's all there is to it!
