Excellent Service for Freight Needs! I recently used Freight Union Company for transporting goods across state lines, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and reliable. Their customer service team was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process and ensuring all necessary paperwork was completed accurately and on time. The drivers were punctual and courteous, handling my freight with care and delivering it to its destination without any issues. I was particularly impressed by the company's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring my shipment arrived safely and on schedule. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be using Freight Union Company for all my future freight needs. I highly recommend Freight Union Company to anyone in need of reliable and efficient freight services. Five stars all around!

Big scam trucking company! Zero driver respect, zero detention payment, zero policy when comes to the drivers’ benefit, zero truck maintenance and think of any drivers’ nightmare… This company gets the following money from the drivers’ weekly statements: Tire blow out, fuel- in case of detour, $2500 for cargo shift, $2500 for truck, $2500 for trailer damage and $2500 for liability. Tollways are prohibited, if the driver goes to the tollway, they get that amount from your statement. Their trucks are expired and over 600k miles. Meanwhile, they do not allow to washout the trailer or wash the truck Going to 48 states in worst warehouses where other companies do not go. All loads are over 43k lbs. They don’t deserve one star but I have to give it for my compliments

I have been working for Freight Union over a year now. It's a great place to work, definitely would recommend it to anyone who is serious about working, and ready to get on the road, and looking for a consistent income. Here at Freight Union we keep the truck rolling, and we do this through a team effort from the driver, to dispatcher, to the safety team and management. If you are a strong driver and looking to make good miles, look no further. If you are an experienced dispatcher and are looking for somewhere where you are rewarded for your expertise, you found the right place. :))

Awful communication. I’ve called their driver on this load at least 20 times and he will not answer. Can’t get updates on any deliveries and we hired their driver to assist on unloading and the driver refused several times. I called to get a hold of the dispatcher and they had no idea who was working on this. A woman gave me a number to call after I asked for one. She gave me a number that just loops back to her office…. When her desk partner answered she gave me Attitude because I called and began to cut me off while speaking and yelling at me and proceeded to hang up. Wouldn’t do business with them again. Absolutely awful.
