Yali called on 12/21 with a quote and followed up with a written quotation of $795 and pick up time of between 12/27 and 12/30, so I agreed to use this company. After several phone calls Alina tells me that they have to wait for the carrier to be full before my car is on it's way. If I had known this originally I would not have chosen this company. In retrospect it would have been cheaper to fly my sons out to drive the car home. Eventually Alina calls to say they have a carrier but he is more expensive and I will have to pay an additional $105. After a month of waiting, a reputable company would absorb this extra cost and be apologetic about the months wait. On January 21st the driver calls at 10 at night asking if I can meet him 12 miles away as it was a hassle getting my car off and on again. I told him no, and he suggested he drive my car the rest of the way and I take him back to his carrier. This company boasts about a door to door service - I had to meet him at a Kmart because his navigation system wouldn't pick up my address. Alina will say that I had a choice to say no and find a different company but I had waited too long and was having to pay for the car I was using.

When the order was set up with Liz, the driver was in process of completing his full load. We have to wait till the driver fills his truck up to schedule pick ups with any customers, and unfortunetly he was no able to fill up his truck since not enough cars were doing the same route the customer was. This is out of our control and we tried to get a driver to pick up her car as soon as possible. Alina was in communication with the custoemr at all times and advised her of the situation. When we were finally able to find a driver to get her car that would take to her in Nebraska, he was more expensive and we gave her the option if she wanted to use this driver and she Agreed. We even paid $50 towards the expense to help her out. We apologized many times to her and explained what was happening with the drivers. This would have happened to any broker she would have used, since all brokers use the same drivers within the network and national board system. So according to her post, we never apologized and Yes we did pay some money towards the extra expense that she chose to take, she did not have to accept this driver. We did everything we could to move her car as fast as possible, but its out of our control if the drivers cant get a full load and there are not enough cars on the route she was doing. We understand her frustration, but we did apologize to her and her friend who called us and we did pay money towards the more expensive driver. We were not aware of this pick up situation she explains, or else we would have been able to rectify the problem.
