this was my first time shipping a car....after working with the first broker and getting the run around for a week or so i called S2S (after receiving a txt saying they had someone in the area of the car) to see if i could get something done....Amber was pleasant to talk to and made it easy to get the ball rolling, said a 8 day turn around....said they have in house drivers that they would most likely use, but put me on the board for a back-up....not to bad!!! well after that, it all went downhill...they stayed in touch thru the whole process but could never get a driver to take the job...said it was just not a driven route and was taking along time to get someone....what happened to someone in the area? so after the 8 days and not having a driver, i got on the net and did the send me some quotes thing again, just to see what was out there....believe it or not, S2S sent me another quote...they dont even know they have me on contract already???? either way, i found another company to work with and S2S did cancel the contract with ease but still said the new company wouldnt get it done like they promised....WELL THEY DID...3 day turnaround!!! and here is the kicker.....the guy that delivered the car to me told me that he tried to get the job when it was listed with S2S but amber or alina never called him back on the dimensions of the car....WOW!!!!! so good overall, good communication but bad execution!!!! thanks though....

We do have drivers in areas when we advise customers on that, but we do have to wait till the driver is able to confirm his full load before leaving that area. We only go by what all the drivers advise us of. We work with a large network of drivers all over the USA and when they are in certain areas getting their loads put together, we are able to advise customers of this. Unfortunetly, the driver was not able to confirm a full load as fast as he wanted to, since not enough cars were leaving Wyoming. We advised the customer of this situation and were in contact with him the whole time via phone calls and responds to his emails. We did everything we could to get any driver confirmed to pick up his vehicle as soon as possible. We even added extra money to the route to see if a more expensive driver would take it, or go out of his way to get it picked up. The customer stated that a driver wanted the job from us, but we did nto have a driver call us on any dimensions to clarify with the customer, or else we would have called and gotten this information rigth away. We want to move a car, or else we dont get paid, so there is no reason why we would ignore a drivers request on taking an order and cancelling the order with a customer. We dont even charge the deposit, until the driver is confirmed for the actual pick up, so there is no reason why we would do all the work for free. We contacted the customer directly and explained we did not have this driver call us at any time, and it must have been a mistake on the drivers side. We apologized to the customer for any misunderstanding, but we did all we could to move his car as fast as we could, until he decided to cancel the order and go with another broker.
