What our customers say
“All premium freight is unwanted, when we get into a crisis situation, and we need to make sure we are protecting our customer and we have hot premium freight, that’s why we have Ascent, we would not [have been] able to build or finish our product in order to supply it to the OEM so that they don’t have a problem.”
