This company is sleazy and dishonest. They sell a load board to carriers where they charge 20% on top of fees on most loads and charge $49-129/wk for access. They now operate their own brokerag... See more

No issues with FR8Star...just the carrier. The contact person (Julio) would lie...not return phone calls...would say "let me check...I will call you right back"...but wouldn't call back. DO NOT USE AMPERSAND TRANSPORT!!! Pay a little more and get someone reliable and professional.

They only girl in the bar.
I had a good experience using this service. It’s kind of the only gig in town because of their system of getting a delivery driver. They use a bulletin board that they and truck drivers can only access. I paid 625 and the driver got 350 so it’s a gig where there is many hands in the cookie jar.

Very pleasant experience
The whole experience with FR8Star was wonderful and convenient. I initially had some concerns and questions, I called up customer service, they answered everything above and beyond and we're extremely helpful. And once I accepted a bid for the load, the Hall company was fantastic as well, they were quick, responsive, on time, and super friendly when they showed up. We would definitely use your service again thank you very much for your help with transporting the load.
