DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! THEY LEFT ME AND MY CAR STRANDED!!
1) They Do Not exclusively use their own carrier fleet as they speak to and quote.
2) First driver - Anthony's Transport- was supposed to pick up Friday 2/23/18. Truck broke down and driver contacted me directly. I then contacted James (Sr. Transport Coordinator) and gave him the information. He nor dispatch seemed aware of the issue. Dispatch (Maria) contacted me back fairly promptly advising they found a second carrier- a Direct Auto Carrier. Dispatch gave me his name and number and stated he would pick up Monday 2/26/18 from 9a-11a.
3) Second driver - NEVER SHOWED UP! I tried contacting the driver several times with no answer and no voicemail. I also contacted both James and Maria in dispatch. They gave me no reason for the no-show and James stated he would have to cancel my order! I was leaving that day and driving with a friend from CA to IN. James was very cavalier and just told me I would have to find another transport company, there was nothing they or he could do.
4) THEY LEFT ME STRANDED! I had to inquire with other companies and after 3-4 hours I found another carrier, but paid much more because of the immediate need. I did get my $150.00 deposit back from Direct Auto, but the aggravation and time spent far exceed that amount!
