I paid to have a very mint 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera shipped from Seattle Washington to Tulsa Oklahoma area. While the agents I spoke with were friendly, the overall company is not very good. The trucking company that Montway contracted to carry the car was even worse. They were Fast Freight trucking. They never gave me a courtesy call to let me know the vehicle was picked up, nor did I get any information til the day they planned on delivering it. I get a call 9am wanting to deliver it at 4pm. I was not home and when I told the dispatcher that, she became very rude and condescending to me and then hung up. The car was delivered the next day and the driver refused to sign delivery ticket after I signed it and stated that the car was so dirty and muddy that I couldn't tell if there was any damage. I never received a proper Bill of Lading either. The driver listed the car as in very poor condition, when it fact it was in near showroom condition. After washing the car and getting the dirt and road grime off it, there was damage to the drivers side front fender where the car had been bumped into the trailer during loading and unloading. I had paid for additional insurance coverage on the car and it is not being honored. While the damage is minimal, it should not have happened with proper care. Very disappointed and upset. Will not use this company ever again.

Hello Ronnie, I'm sorry to hear about the inconvenience. Damages are not an expected part of the shipping process, but they can happen. As a broker, we mitigate this risk with a dedicated compliance team and the most sophisticated carrier-vetting process in the industry. In the event they do, all exceptions should be marked on the Bill of Lading. If there are any issues, Montway should be contacted immediately. Full details on the Bill of Lading can be found in your confirmation emails and our website at: https://www.montway.com/help-center/pickup-delivery/importance-of-the-bill-of-lading/. Our dedicated claims team is here to help when issues do occur. If you have informed our team of the issue, you should have received an email detailing your options and guidance. I also encourage you to reply to the email and provide as much detail as possible about your carrier experience. We take carrier feedback very seriously. And carriers with low ratings and poor feedback may be removed from our network. Please respond to the email or email our team directly at claims@montway.com as soon as possible. -Rick
