What our customers say about us…

— Cristian Ewing, Innerpak of Wisconsin

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.

— BM, Wisconsin-Based Contract Furniture Company

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.

— Heather Okonek, Galloway Company

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.

— Adam Miller, Shipping Team Lead, Charter NEX

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.'
