Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Positive Feedback
- Convenient
- Tracking Capabilities
Positive Feedback
MC Carrier has received great reviews from customers and employees. Many transportation companies have a high turnover rate, but MC Carrier’s employees are loyal, with positive things to say about their experience working for the company.
Convenient
The company can transport truckloads, LTL (less than truckloads), refrigerated, expedited, and hazardous materials. This variety of services offers convenience to customers looking for multiple services under the same umbrella.
Tracking Capabilities
MC Carrier maintains software that allows the company to track shipments, trucks, and locations in real time. This reduces the likelihood that items will be lost, and makes it easy to contact drivers and coordinate in a timely manner when changes need to be made.
The Bad
- Pricing Transparency
- Limited Resources Compared to Competitors
- No Household Services
Pricing Transparency
Like many B2B service companies, MC Carrier does not list pricing on the company’s website, so customers have to call to get a quote or more information. There is also no chat option available online. For customers with a budget in mind that need to get quick pricing information, this lack of transparency can be an inconvenience.
Limited Resources Compared to Competitors
MC Carrier is a smaller company, and may not be able to handle large or long-term jobs. For example, a competitor, Swift Transportation has over 22,000 drivers and serves routes from Mexico, the United States, and Canada, providing a broader network.
No Household Services
Unfortunately, MC Carrier does not offer household moving services, only freight forwarding and truck transportation. By contrast, Old Dominion Freight Line, in nearby West Valley, Utah, does offer local and long distance moving for households as well as for businesses. Perhaps this is an area to expand in the future.
The Bottom Line
For customers needing goods transported in the Southwest region of the United States, MC Carrier is a solid offering. With a diverse set of commercial moving services, positive reviews, and tracking capabilities, MC Carrier can handle the job for local and regional needs. If customers need a more extensive geographic reach, or require larger volume, going with a bigger company like Old Dominion or Swift would be a better match.
