I have used these folks for years and have always been very happy. Drivers are friendly, delivery on time, when you need service they always do a good job at a reasonable price.

I posted an ad to sell a vehicle and I received a fraudulent cashiers check. Happens all the time, I am aware. However, how strange that the postage on the overnight envelope came from this company. I surely hope this isn't a company wide side hustle and it is just one person doing the illegal activities. I have notified all the proper authorities and notified the postal service for mail fraud.

I was lead to believe this was a good local company to use, well it is not. Waiting weeks for service, with no call from anyone is not how you run a company
