Let me start off by saying Grant Cordell is the absolute worst. He's only respond when booking the load. After that you are on your own. Absolutely terrible.

I pulled 2 loads for this company and I didn't get paid. I thought it was a reputable company to pull loads for but I was wrong. Your experience might be different but buyers beware.
