Avoid this place. I've had a pick up at this company. Agreed weight for load was 30000 lbs. They loaded on trailer commodity with twice weight (60000 lbs). My truck and trailer does have installed scales. Trailer scale showed more than 50000 lbs (shoud be not more than 40000 lbs). Worst thing is that they did not recognize their fault and were telling me that my scale is wrong and told to the broker that driver is lying. Also, staff is unprofessional. Especially shipping office and loaders, who don't know their job.

0/5. If you want to be disappointed I highly recommend Colonial. Items come back with bare spots and old paint stuck in the new finish. Someone tried to cover it up with a color that does not come close to matching. The owner and employees should be ashamed of their quality.
