Report
Leonards Guide is VERY INACCURATE! Just purchased the 2015, 2016 Guide. After contacting 20 companies only 10% were accurate. Some companies said the data is over 15 years old and they don't even offer those services. Others are out of business since 2009. I called and asked how they validate the data and explained that I felt the list should be more accurate. I even offered to help them correct the listing by providing the updated data from contacting companies directly. They have no interest. I requested a refund and they refused. So, we all understand the difficult nature of lists and

Leonard's Guide publications are the most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date resources in the freight transportation industry. They are invaluable in helping me source companies that provide services in air cargo, logistics, trucking and warehousing. The print publications are very big and comprehensive, and their website at www.leonardsguide.com is an excellent resource as well.
