Carriers are the backbone of our success. Without our carriers, we wouldn’t be able to offer our shippers the quality and reliability they’ve come to expect from us. August’s Carrier of the Month, Geraldine Transportation, is a newer carrier to Spot’s network, but has already achieved a 100% on-time delivery record in a short time. Read on for a Q&A to learn more about Geraldine and their take on the transportation industry.
