Met Jimmy Lima a few months ago while scrolling the DAT for a backhaul from TN. It’s refreshing to find a broker that wants to build a relationship rather than just turn and burn loads. Since we met we have done multiple loads for him and AIT. Jimmy is a great business partner and is always willing to work to get you good loads at decent rates. Jimmy is also level headed and realizes that in logistics things don’t always go as planned and as long as we communicate any deviation of the plan can be worked out so that the customers are always taken care of. Thanks for everything Jimmy, I look forward to continuing to do business with while we grow our dry van division.

It took over an hour to load one pallet. The workers stood around, talking, but not working.
