Flexibility, dependability, and excellent communication

Recently, our parent company opened a produce facility in Cedar Rapids, IA. I had been searching for carriers to handle some dedicated freight and came across a gem in Awesome Refrigerated Transit of Iowa (ARTI). I couldn’t be happier. I needed flexibility, dependability, and excellent communication. They’ve met all three of these key components and have been completely professional the entire time. I was also very impressed when they were able to help me out of a bind over a holiday weekend. Their drivers are also very polite and professional. This has been a great partnership so far and will only continue to grow. I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication for success.

"Easy scheduling, professional...

We started working with ARTI because pricing and communication was competitive. Scheduling is easy. ARTI gets us taken care of immediately saving us time and effort. Their professional drivers are easy to work with on site, and the equipment is always clean to ensure no rejected trucks or damaged product."

"Adapts to meet needs...

When I first reached out to ARTI, my hopes were to find a carrier that could consistently make deliveries to a select few consignees in the Midwest. Today, ARTI has proven to be a great partner that has adapted to meet the needs of our business."

"Knows what drivers need...

Erika knows what drivers and their families need - and fights to get it for them. Erika’s hard work and dedication to her job is above and beyond. Her husband was a truck driver so she really understands the life of a truck driver, which is invaluable in her role. She is conscientious, caring, and always with an eye to offering great service to all and taking care of drivers.

"The best service to drivers...

Todd has been with ARTI for less than a year but already he has grown tremendously in his understanding of how our company is different than others he has worked at. We don't departmentalize everyone and give them a small set of tasks to repeat throughout the day, instead we are all involved every step of the way. Todd has provided excellent service to our drivers and customers, specifically he is very understanding and patient with the drivers and quick to resolve their needs."
