Quote From The VP of Operations

I’ve been on the other side of the transaction, working as a structural steel salesman. When in that position I knew what mattered to me was being provided up-to-date information. Whether it be about delivery or a delay. That allowed me to service my customer. We strive to make sure that we are the carrier always providing information before the request.
