Have been doing business with ARS for over 3 years no. Most dependable carrier I have done business with. Trucks are always on time to pick up and deliver product to our customers. Their customer service is outstanding and makes me feel like we have a partnership rather than just another business. Small enough to care but big enough to handle all our needs.
