After working as a freight broker for over 16 years I can only say good things about A.J at Global Transport LLC! Their level of service just can't be beaten. Their drivers always answer their phones, accept tracking, and almost always make pick and delivery on time. There's only been 4 negative reviews logged in almost 1500 loads completed. One of the best records in our entire database. Really Incredible!
