Customer Benefits
The benefits of obtaining pricing from our agency is we have a
truck behind each price. We have already matched the equipment,
spoken to the driver and agreed that if our price is accepted we will
be ready to haul the load. The customer will not be asked to wait
around while we scramble to find a truck. We will be ready to go.
How We See It
We understand our customers are very busy and do not have time to waste. We also understand that our drivers' schedules are constantly changing and need to be checked in with to make sure they are available. That is why we find it imperative to work so closely with both the customer and the drivers. This way everyone is on the same page.

Specialized projects are in a category all their own. If you have
ever moved a specialty piece of freight then you know what it
entails. Those of you who have not yet moved one, it is very
different from just moving over sized or heavy haul freight.
These specialized projects require, dedication, communication,
patience and coordination from each party involved.
Here are some aspects of what is involved with a specialized
project:
A lot of transporters, new to this aspect of the industry or who do not
fully understand all it entails, will sometimes receive quotes from
other companies for bottom dollar amounts. We have found that
others who quote lower rates most often do not fully understand all
aspects involved with this type of project.. They will give you one rate
to get the job and then add other fees and charges as the job
progresses. Utilizing J.E.L. Agency, LLC on your projects, from the
beginning, would eliminate much of the aggravation that can be
associated with this type of specialized project..
Things to remember when receiving quotes:
We can reassure you with each and every one of these questions.
We do not keep anything from the customer or the driver and his
crew. Communication is key to keep all parties involved on the same
page.
J.E.L. Agency, LLC values safety, on-time service and no damage to
the customer's freight.

- Reviewing the piece for anything out of the ordinary

We also like to remind customers that some specialized projects could

freight.
