We have been working with Sterling Brokerage Services for all of our bulk hopper shipments for 6 plus years. We have been able to grow our animal nutrition business almost 100%, within the first 2 years and Sterling Brokerage Services has been agile enough to service us flawlessly through this growth. Our confidence in Sterling Brokerage Services has helped facilitate our expansion in our main plant, and growth into a second production plant. They have found “last minute” trucks to fulfill customer needs, and have worked with us through many schedule changes and always provided the necessary trucks. I would recommend Sterling Brokerage Services to any bulk hopper shipper; they have been a great asset to our transportation services company.

I can’t say enough about the service my company received from Sterling Brokerage Services. In business, being able to deal with both change and ambiguity is imperative. Their team showed the capability to do this each and every time that we needed them. If you need freight forwarding services go with Sterling Brokerage Services; you won’t be disappointed.
