Each of our Traffic Coordinators has over 15 years experience in the transportation industry including shipping and receiving departments, and dispatching. Our management has over 25 years experience in the transportation industry including fleet management, dispatching, and driving. As a result, we understand our customers freight needs, efficiency expectations, and the desire for every shipment to go smoothly for all people involved.
Communication is our key ingredient in successfully meeting your transportation needs. We ensure that one Traffic Coordinator coordinates EACH AND EVERY SHIPMENT. They communicate with the customer, shipper, consignee, carrier, driver, and where necessary, the general contractor, installer, or subcontractor.
Work with us and know the difference for your commercial trucking and freight needs.
We work with GW a lot, based on price, availability, and the people we deal with there. We can call Brian in the morning and he has it covered in the afternoon. I don’t know how he does it! We have put GW to the test and there have been no obstacles. When we have to jump through hoops for customers, GW jumps through hoops for us!
They touch base with customers and have consistent quality. But the best part of doing business with them is I enjoy the people!
Customer service is a big deal for us, and GW has set the bar really high! We ask for rate quotes and they’re very timely. We’ll send them an e-mail, and within the hour we have a quote. During shipments, they’ll call the on-site person to set up delivery, which is very helpful.
We go back quite a ways. I like how they do business, and their follow through! GW is more personable-you can talk to them. You feel like a partner, not a customer!
I don’t call anyone else! GW handles everything I need, from LTL to all of our full truckload stuff. Everything they do is professional. I’m never sitting here wondering what the status of a load is—they always keep me informed.
I can always count on this company to handle our needs with the urgency we require. I have and will continue to recommend this company based on service, efficiency and cost feasibility. This is not a company who is constantly calling or hassling you and who, once they understand your business, make the appropriate calls to see if they can better serve you. In this busy world we live and work in, this is very much appreciated. The best thing about working with GW Transportation is the people and professionalism. We have an on-going situation with GW Transportation that takes very little handling on our end. Once they have the information, they take care of the shipment. I value the service and easy relationship we have developed over the years. Testimonial by Shelley Brady
I keep them on our preferred vendor list, because I expect-and receive from them-open and honest communications! We require timely information and we get that from them! I know I can always call Lance for help or information!
GW gets everything done with one phone call: arranging delivery times, crane setups and permits. Give them the destination and they figure out what type of equipment is needed and get it done. We do a lot of specialty freight, and Lee is knowledgeable and easy to deal with.
GW bails me out of trouble! When I have a partial or full load I call them and they provide a quote and turn me over to a dispatcher. Super-good group to work with—friendly, cheerful and upbeat. GW has strong expertise in vans and flats and step-decks.
No matter what it is, when we work with GW, we are confident that it is taken care of. Alloy Hardfacing moves about 60% of its traffic through GW because of the reliability, as well as GW’s ability to find carriers for unique, large loads such as gravity separators and other large products that Alloy produces. GW’s service is unmatched in my time in the industry.
