Report
I've always had a good experience here. Larry in shipping is a great guy. I pulled my shoulder out on a previous load and he helped me fold my tarps and put them away. I don't know what the problem was for the other bad review but I've had no problems. Troy at Great Plains Trucking.

Report
Very disorganized, and the guys at the shipping office were extremely rude and impatient. I'm never pulling a load for them again.
