Far better at helping track shipments than any other broker.

I used Freight Center to ship an armoire across country. I received it on time and in great shape. Later, I receive additional charges for weight (my fault), a "detention fee" (not my fault), a "limited access fee" (not my fault) and an additional service charge. Adding 68% more to my bill. Freight Center is looking in to the charges, but the charges have already been taken from my credit card.

Freightcenter does a poor job of backing customers see BBB complaints when a dispute arises with a carrier over shipping cost adjustments.

I hope i can give zero star.. horrible experience. I didn't get my items shipped with them and still have to cover the additionally cost because of FreightCenter's lack of integrity. Initially, I was informed that that the package will be picked up on time for an urgent shipment. I made the payment immediately. Later, I was told the price needs to be adjusted which is double the price as the original quote. Hoping to make the shipment ASAP, I agree to the new price. However, again, after a few hours, I was told the first carrier they contacted refuse to take the shipment and the second carrier will charge another ~$300 more. I told them it's urgent so again agree to pay the charge so the carrier can be dispatched ASAP. Yet, they still didn't make the shipment! Then, I was told that in fact, no shipment will be guaranteed.. Clearly, they don't understand that if the shipment is not guaranteed, I will continue to pay for the warehouse fee for $200 per day, including the weekends. At the end, I decided to cancel the shipment with FreightCenter. Paying the additional cost for the warehouse because of FreightCenter's delay. Plus, paying 15% cancellation fee.

Unable to have insight into when the freight will be picked up or when it will be delivered. They hide behind the excuse of the pick up and delivery isn't guaranteed. It should be this hard. Have spent two weeks on the phone trying to get the freight picked up and delivered. Do not use Freight Center, I'll go direct next time

Hello Brian, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear your experience has been frustrating. We see where you registered with us and booked your shipment online on 3/30/21. Because you were shipping lithium-ion batteries, which are a hazardous material, your shipment required special handling. It’s important to keep in mind that all pickup and delivery times are estimates provided by the carrier and not guaranteed – we can simply request a date, but the carriers are in charge of scheduling. We do work with all of our carriers to ensure a smooth process, but there are always factors such as weather, holidays etc. that are beyond anyone’s control. Your shipment was processed on 4/1/21 with a requested pickup date for that same day. However, the shipment wasn’t picked up on 4/1 and was rescheduled for pickup on 4/2/21. Unfortunately, per the carrier, there wasn’t a driver in the area on 4/2, so the shipment was rescheduled for pickup on 4/5/21. We are glad to report it was successfully picked up on 4/5. We hope this information helps clear up any confusion. Again, thank you for your feedback as it provides valuable information on how we can improve the customer experience. Sincerely, The FreightCenter Team

STAY AWAY.....If you have any shipments that don't have 100% flexibility with the pick-up or delivery day, find another broker/carrier. These guys have been a nightmare, with more missed pick-up's than those that are on-time and then when you right a bad review they promise it will never happen, call me directly, etc....Don't buy it, there are better systems out there!

Don't ever use Freight center if you don't want your shipment misses pick up date minimum 7 days and even have a head ache to cancel the request. The original pick up date was 05/19 and they kept moving dates and carriers but it still has not done. The one star I gave for this company is too much. This is a waste.

Dont use them. Period. I'm a business owner and ship approx $200-250K per year in combined shipping (parcel, crates, ltl, etc) and have shipped with multiple shippers over the years and these guys are the worst. Stay away. My scales are certified every 30 days and dead accurate. We always add a few extra pounds to each BOL just to cover bases but we constantly got these double weight overcharges and they take the money out of your account first, then you have to fight for months to get it back even if you have all the proof. What broke our relationship was a shipment of 2 custom hand made tables worth $12,500 for my client and over the course of a month, lost it. It was only going 300 miles.Its a 2 day delivery tops. I even paid an additional $500 for another truck through them to go pick it up and drive it to my now extremely upset client and they kept that money as well. Took weeks to get a return phone call or email and then it was "well, just wait for our decision in 120 days". Some of the reps are friendly but its the infrastructure and lack of accountability that makes this company a huge liability for shipping. From one small business owner to another, dont. There are lots of other options.

They give you a great quote (estimate) and bill you @ this rate. BEWARE! You will VERY likely get an adjustment after your delivery claiming you were not exact on the weight, therefor, you are charges a fee for accounting and the overweight. I was off my 2 lbs. and received an adjustment. Happened 2 times now and I they are flagged for my company not to use in future.

Delivered my shipment which cost me $251 and month later got a charge for $537 for weight issue. product was only $630 that I shipped. I have contacted them several times to get this resolved without any response back. I had the delivery sitting in my garage for over a week and once I opened it there was damage and also a part was missing. I have no unable to file a claim with them for that as it's only 48 hours to file a claim. I emailed them on this without any response. Now I get a charge of $537 additional for this. Scamming the customer without having the customer discuss and agree on anything.

“Horrible service!!! Quoted me one price, I provided the exact weight and everything they asked of me. Delivered 6 days later than promised by the rep. Finally a month later I see another charge more than the initial quoted price on my charge card. This was done without my authorization. So, I call them to resolve the issue with pictures of the shipment, bill of landing all clearly showing the exact weight. They didn’t even pretend to care, they sent me a blurry pic that you weren’t even able to tell it was my shipment and said I was a 1000 pound over weight and this was there final decision. They are definitely not getting away with this!!! The Better Business Bureau will be informed of how they are scamming people!!!”
