This load had a very short deadline for pickup and was during a winter storm which made it even more difficult. FR8 was very helpful making calls to find someone to help me and at a very reasonable rate. Have used before and will use again. Great people.
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.
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

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.

I always have had a good experience with FR8Star. The quotes come in fast so there is plenty of them for you to choose from. Never had any problems communicating FR8Star or contacting any of the companies that supplied the quote to find out more information.

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

These guys are on top of things. As soon as the auction ended, they contacted us about bidding loads. The process was simple and the communication was great!

Well, I'm still waiting to hear from the driver to tell me when he's going to load it and bring it to me so far he hasn't contacted me today with that information
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.

Here to help!

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!
