Our company was awaiting a product shipment of tiles and sinks that were in demand. I contacted our Cargo Services reps to get a status update and received details down to the day of estimated delivery within minutes. This team does an awesome job! I really appreciate how they keep our shipments on track. Megan and Rhonda have been great with updates, paperwork and keeping the process flowing smoothly. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Cargo Services is a good partner for our company. It impressed me that Cargo Services is involved in the community through programs such as the Books for Youth Campaign. The owners also take good care of their employees and that shows. They are just really good people.

Now everything moves seamlessly. If I call to find out where a shipment is in the supply chain, I get an answer quickly.
