Let's break it down. They are deceitful! Brad Capps is dishonest. There is something personal happening in-house and it is effecting their judgement and services. I would not recommend driving or working for this company. They overwork and under pay their drivers. Their slogan is a complete lie. Maintenance manager is not properly trained for his position. DOT guidelines are being ignored. Very concerned for driver's safe as well as the publics safety.

I have arranged multiple fermenter/ tank deliveries using Amistad. Every time the price and customer service has met or exceeded our expectations. I would recommend them to anyone.
