The pickup was almost two weeks late. Which cost me 250 bucks in storage fees. Which made the quote that i got not even close , it cost $200.00 more than i was quoted. I would not want to ever use Gloobal Transport again. I have always had good luck with FR8star, but not with this bunch!

Bad Experience with DAPA LOGISTIC with our first service request
We requested a quote to drive a vehicle from Pennsylvania to Port Elizabeth in New Jersey, Monday March 20, the company that quoted closest to our budget was DAPA LOGISTIC, accepting that the vehicle was driven, and in the time that we had indicated in our request which was Wednesday the 22nd. We were not aware of the weight of the vehicle, for this reason it was placed that it be driven, and an email was shared with them where the auction place only indicated the size. On Tuesday the 21st they began to insist that it be transported on a flatbed, but we insisted that the vehicle could be driven, so they said it was easier with their flatbed trucks. Then they informed that payment had to be made in cash to the driver and to them with a credit card. We did not have physical persons in NY where the truck had to be delivered, so it was difficult for us, and they did not have people who could receive the money by transfer . Until in the afternoon it was achieved, but they really did not have anyone to pick up, he told them that they had to provide the name of the driver and the license in time to authorize the delivery to where the truck was located and they did not have anyone and so They kept me until Friday the 24th, with the carrier almost in front of where our truck was, I told them at that moment that I did not authorize them to deliver the truck, because with only a few minutes I had to authorize the delivery and that way they could not work.
The place was almost closing, and it was authorized, to the surprise the carrier reported that it could not be done because the truck for its platform, which was very small, exceeded the weight.
We had to pay US$600.00 for a bad service where we felt pressured and even threatened and we spent money on calls and something that had not been stipulated at the beginning and we had to accept due to the pressure.

I'm sorry to here this and I do appreciate your feedback. I have talked to Dapa Freight about your load. While they are a Diamond tier transportation company on FR8Star, they did not provide Diamond tier service on your load.

Picked wrong company
Picked wrong company. Still haven't got my delivery after more than 3 weeks. But I am top priority LOL

Sorry to hear about this Mark. Has your load been delivered yet by Blue Square Logistics? Have they been in communication with you? We have also contacted Blue Square Logistics about your load.

Pick up a week late
Pick up a week late. Poor to no communication from DAPA freight. Driver did not know how much I was being charged. I probably over paid. If I did not help driver unload, he would never have gotten my freight off his trailer. Still have not been able to reach Oscar at DAPA. After talking and getting set up with Fr8 Star. Everything went down hill from then. I thought I was being scammed. I will never use DAPA AGAIN. AND I’m hestitant to use Fr8 Star either.

We’ve waited over two and a half weeks and they still have not picked up the machine we want shipped. We get false promises everyday and nobody shows up to pick it up.
Not impressed at all.

I'm sorry to hear this Clark. I have been in contact with the transport company and it sounds like he's still working on your load going to ND.

They did not deliver all 30 pallets. NO
They did not deliver all 30 pallets.
We had to rent a trailer and pick up the final 2 pallets.
Their driver blamed it on the action yard and the auction yard blamed it on the driver. I do not care who was at fault, ultimately I hired you and them to deliver 30 pallets and received 28. I asked for a credit ad they refused. Very poor customer service.
