How FR8Star Works
1. Build the load. Customers tell FR8Star about their load, including its origin and shipping destination.
2. Get an instant estimate. Customers request firm bids from the transport companies. FR8Star provides instant estimates at no charge to the customer. Estimates are supplemented by FR8Star's wide array of transport companies and up-to-date industry data.
3. Compare transport bids. Bids placed are completely transparent, with prices reflecting the total cost to move the shipment, so there are no hidden cost...

Thank you for the follow up and I did book a shipper from you. Not only did they take care of my 3pt 9ft blade but the driver was polite and got it delivered one day earlier then said. Very rare that this happens and I am very happy and will be back. Anthony.
Great experience Mike has been available to help and answer any questions
Perfect and smooth, booked yesterday and picked up today 😁
Mike explained all the details clearly and explained my options.
Not sure as of yet my vehicle has not been picked up yet.
This was my first time buying from an online auction and I was reluctant to click on the Fre8star shipping option but it has been amazing. Within 24 hours I had 10+ bids, the shippers are rated and it shows what level they are and how many deliveries each shipper has successfully completed. I booked and paid the deposit online and heard from the shipper the following day to schedule pickup. The experience so far has been stellar.
Mike was great to work with. Got my load secured in no time.
You kept things simple and easily accessible which is refreshing nice nowadays where everyone is so caught up in making the websites to informative that you can't even figure out what you're looking for!
Was not told, when looking for quotes, that full payment is required at pickup. This leaves all the risk on the customer. Will not work with FR8Star in the future or recommend to others.
I would like the bids to show the company that has submitted a bid.
Overall went very well, bought a John Deere scraper and shipped it over 300 miles, bids were competitive, and cheaper than I thought. The broker tried to get more money out of me after the bid was awarded because they bid the wrong trailer but Freight Star staff stepped in and things went smooth. From bidding to delivery was 5 days, driver was great. Thanks Misty with freight star for taking care of this.
So far, Nick has been very helpful in getting me a decent rate and getting the ball rolling. I'll know more in a couple of weeks if my shipment arrives intact.
Timely and informative throughout the shipment. Customer care was very good. Delivery crew were very professional. I would recommend and use them again.
Really good service. This was my first time having anything shipped and Wyatt was extremely helpful throughout the process. I called him several times and he always answers any questions I had.
First time doing this. Have had good luck with you guys helping me through it. I have not finished the process yet would appreciate more help.
I needed a quick pickup because of another companys failure to follow through. I was given a quote for same day pickup and was told a truck was on hold and available to do that so I agreed to the price even though it was several hundred more than a 5 day pickup quote.Endedup being three days later before it was picked up other than that it was fine
First time needing to ship a piece of equipment. FR8Star was simple and effective finding a shipper.
It was great, prices were a little higher than expected, but I guess that is to be expected.
The rep from fr8star contacted me and explained my load would be picked up in 3-4 business days. After the day he said then would pick it up I called. He told me a carrier wasn't assigned, however it would be picked up for sure by the end of the week. I told him I was planning on leaving for vacation that weekend but I could possibly move it back. He reassured me they would have it delivered before the end of the week. So Friday I called him back and got his voicemail. The shipper contacted me and said probably would be the following Monday which it was the shipper told me they didn't have anyone that had accepted the load and the original rep had no way of knowing when it would be there. At this point without the 2 day notice I had to reschedule my trip and received a partial refund on flights. Then fr8stars rep called me back and proceeded to apologize which is all that could be done at that time. I asked him why he told me dates when he had no concrete information? His only reply was I am sorry. I asked him when I told him I was leaving that weekend why he told me it would be done that week for sure? Again just a I am sorry.
