Everything went well, was easy to use, got me a fair rate thank you Logan and team!
They got ahold of me right away. Quickly found a driver and my trailer was here the next day. Chris was great to work with.
First-time user; Information in the quote was accurate and helpful. The shipper was easy to contact and walk me thru the steps. Good experience on all accounts. Thank you.
Thank you for your 5-star review and feedback Jeff. We appreciate the opportunity to assist with transporting your New Idea spreader.
So far so good. I thought it'd be complicated but totally not. So easy so far
Fast and efficient. It was kind of annoying not knowing who/when to pay etc. Driver only spoke Spanish which was challenging.
Very quick response. Nice and curious on the phone. And at least 12 different booking options
First time having to lineup shipping of a piece of equipment and the person we worked with was fantastic. Made the process very simple.
Professional all the way from initial contact to delivery and follow-up with your representative. Satisfied all the way.
Cost was less than expected and the ******* LB crane was delivered days ahead of schedule. Could not have been happier

Very easy process, second time using them, would definitely recommend their service and have no qualms with using again.

I was contacted shortly after purchasing a piece of equipment on auction with a reasonable quote. Painless experience
Thank you for using FR8Star Caleb!
They quoted a rate, got 25% down. Brokered it to another broker, who had to have $400 more to broker it to a hot shot. Not playing by rules
Driver was 4 hours late. He stop communicating with me. He put load in the ditch and I had to take load off trailer.
Nina did a great job and found a transporter for a great price.
Purchased and item online with the intent of picking up. Found fr8star, read some reviews and contracted them. Went great and very quick

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!
