Finding a logistics company that understands specialized shipping used to be a real headache for us. Since we've been with Badger, that's one less thing I have to worry about. The work they do behind the scenes, communicating with sites to ensure smooth delivery experiences, really is invaluable and unmatched. Their pool of vetted drivers allows us to keep our promises and grow our business. When they say they'll have a truck there at 7 AM, you can count on it being there at 7 AM—and in this industry, that reliability is worth its weight in gold.
Badger's customer service has been fantastic—and that's becoming really hard to find these days. We called them up recently, and within three hours, they had something brought back from the warehouse. It helps us out a lot. They're one of those logistics partners that is so good, they never tell you 'no.'
I trust Badger with most of my regional loads because I know their team is going to deliver on time and keep the handling of my freight their top priority. I also appreciate that they try to be as efficient as possible and charge a reasonable price for their services. Their communication, transparency, and ability to accommodate puts them light years ahead of a lot of their competitors.
A lot of times we're delivering to sites where there are install crews waiting for the truck that could have thousands of dollars in penalties if the trucks are late. We really try and find carriers that can perform at a level where they're on time, and if they're not on time, they communicate that they're running late to try and avoid any penalties. Badger is certainly a carrier that we can trust to be there on time, and if there is something that they find that doesn't seem right, they will reach out. They're much more transparent than a lot of other carriers: willing to share their struggles, willing to listen to ours, and just be a good partner.
97% on-time asset-based delivery rate, ensuring your freight arrives when expected.
15,000+ vetted carriers, providing flexible solutions for any shipping need.
Seamless coordination of trucking, warehousing, and brokerage from a single source.
We ship a variety of food-grade products: creamers, milk, packaging. Sometimes we need tanker-endorsed drivers. Sometimes we need a reefer truck. We like working with Badger because we know we can get the right trailer and a qualified, trustworthy driver no matter what.
