Favorite broker to work with. Pay good rates. Pay detention. And it fast. OTR is my go to broker. Ask for Derek or Ram.

HORRIBLE logistics provider. Save yourself the headache. They lack professionalism, integrity and equality. The service Derek Johnson provided was disgusting, and to think this guy is a lead broker agent. Know wonder why everyone under his lead has the same behavior. I will continue to share my experience with all carriers and shippers within my network.

Spent 20 minutes with them on the phone booking a load. Broker said ti was ours after 5 more minutes he came back and said they gave it to the cheaper truck. Don't waste your time these guys are a joke. Bunch of kids that have never seen a truck in their life.

I’ve been booking loads with OTR for more than 3 years already and it has been great! I’ve never had any problems with any loads or payments, and the relationship I have with their brokers has been amazing, especially with Derek Johnson. He answers all my emails on time, answers my calls 24/7, he is very responsible, extremely friendly and a very nice person!! which is a plus!!
If you are looking for brokers at the moment, you can 100% trust OTR.
Ps. ask for Derek!

Got setup with them this year. Recently booked 2 loads from different destinations. Both with issues. The answer for all of the questions is the same: “ We will email our customer “ Then you wait hours for someone to reply.
Guys, your emails are not efficient. You have to come up with a better way of communication. Communication has to be done with people in charge but not with clerks.
Try to educate your customers/shippers/receivers. The only way to do so is a charge. The higher detention/layover charge the faster they will move.
Pros:
-Good line haul rate +⭐️
Cons:
-Low detention
