03 — COMMITMENTS

What we put in writing.

01

One dispatcher, start to finish

The same person from pickup through POD, reachable on a direct line. Not a queue, not a ticket number.

02

An answer the same business day

Every lane gets a quote or a straight no before the day is out, so you're never waiting on us to plan around us.

03

The quoted rate is the invoiced rate

Accessorials agreed up front and itemized. Nothing shows up on the invoice that wasn't discussed first.

04

Status before you ask for it

EDI 214 updates through the run, and a phone call the moment a plan changes — not after the consignee notices.

07 — ACCOUNTABILITY
We would rather tell you something you don't want to hear early than tell you what you want to hear and be wrong.
— MARATHON FREIGHT LLC · MC #1595424 · USDOT #4154423

When a load doesn't go to plan

What actually happens
IF WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE
You hear it from us while the appointment window is still open, with a revised ETA and the reason behind it. The consignee should never be the one who tells you.
IF A TRUCK GOES DOWN
Roadside gets dispatched and the load gets re-covered at the same time. You get one call with both answers in it, not a running commentary.
IF WE CAN'T COVER IT
We say no the same day, while you still have time to place it elsewhere. A load held open to look capable costs you more than an early no.
