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

David was a total scam
David was a total scam. It was a total nightmare trying to get the Jeep picked up and delivered. When the driver finally did deliver the Jeep, he would not unload it until we paid him for the vehicle. He had an invoice for the Jeep. I had wired the money to the auction house on Thursday, he delivered it to us on Tuesday. David told him not to unload it until we paid for the Jeep. I had to show the driver the proof that we had wired the payment PRIOR to him picking it up. There is no way an auction would allow an item to be picked Dynasty Global is a scam artist. Do not use him.
First off it’s strange for y’all to…
First off it’s strange for y’all to hand your bid off to another dispatcher.
Then this other dispatcher lied to me .he told me that my tractor was picked up on Thursday may 25 . Witch it did not get picked untill the Tuesday may 30.
The driver. Was the worst thing of this whole deal.
When he picked up the tractor on Tuesday may 23 he re-negotiated saying he would not haul it for less that $2,800.00 cause it had an attachment. Then I told him that his contract said it was 17’ long 7’ wide 8.8’ tall and 14,000 pounds.and that He agreed to pick it up knowing this information.
( And when he picked it up on a 10,000 pound trailer I knew he was gonna have issues getting it back to Oklahoma. )
Witch took 5 days to get here . he arrived Saturday june 3
So every one I talk to about this issue. I tell them not to ever use Fr8star.
Exceeded all expectations
Exceeded all expectations. Delivered the day after I made my purchase.

My first time buying something and having to use a freight company for delivery. Everything went easy, no hassles. Would do it again.
I had a odd sized load and back story
I had a odd sized load and back story. 26' concession trailer loaded on standard flatbed that had rolled. Sitting in original shippers yard. Insured was of no help but broker and drivers hired outside tow service to crane off and put on transport truck and step deck. Hauled from East Texas to Oregon with no problems and mostly on time. Driver and broker kept us up to date. Thanks.
Lousy broker.
Lousy broker.
Shipper couldnt speak english...drove all over my lawn...tore up my driveway...sent pics to Nina Marie...she was MIA as soon as there was a problem.
Not happy....
There was some poor communication…
There was some poor communication between the broker and myself. I needed to know what type of trailer the hauler was using so I could have the necessary equipment to unload I was not informed until a few hours before the load arrived. Your end was fine
Needs Help
Needs Help
First driver who dropped trailer #1 at the pickup location parked with one foot on soft ground. Had to call and have someone come and reposition when it was about to tip over. Ramps and partitions were in poor condition and difficult to operate. Price was not worth the experience.
Great customer service
Great communication! Great price! Entire process went smoothly with Kirsch Transportation Services.
Outstanding
Outstanding! Very good service. The hauler was very friendly and helpful as well! Highly recommended!
Site Fees
Continually charged for site fees even with customers cancellations. 1st Load from representative Sam, this customer has charged back twice which keeps getting taken out of my account. This is over $1700 that I have had to pay for something that didn't move, FR8star kept funds and customer took deposit back. Paying these site fees of at least 20% on each load, and then customer is able to fraudulently request a refund based on not receiving goods. This site does not help to you recover funds and pretty much washes their hands of your loss. 2nd Customer has charged back based on their cancellation which had nothing to do with my abilities to move the freight. Customer cancels day one, Joe knew customer was cancelling and tells my boss that customer is going to cancel, he tries to avoid the cancel and Joe never refunds my boss the site fees, this cost me over $1500. At this time, I still have not been refunded for either charge. I am a single mother and cannot afford to take these financial hits. This site absolutely does NOTHING to help. They up their site fees and will not assist with getting a refunds or site fees back. My boss has continually asked for help from Russ, Sam and Joe, to no avail. We are customers also!

Everything went smooth no issues and got my load quickly. I would use them again
Iowa to near Canadian Border
This was a great service and it certainly saved me a great deal of time. For me to travel both ways and pick up this unit would have taken me 28 hours. Highly recommended as the communication and speed of delivery was very excellent.
