Negative Reviews
Customers have expressed grave concerns about the driving standards of a van driver associated with the company. Multiple incidents of tailgating have been reported, with drivers feeling anxious and threatened by the aggressive behavior. One customer was tailgated on the SE Freeway while passing three semis, and another was tailgated on South Road for at least 15 minutes while doing the speed limit. The drivers of these vehicles were also seen to be exhibiting aggressive hand gestures towards other drivers.
Company Image
These incidents have led to concerns about how the company wants to present itself to the public. It appears that the company's drivers are not setting a good example for their clientele and are potentially putting others at risk on the road. The reviewers have expressed their disappointment and frustration with the company's lack of consideration for other road users.
