I almost never take the time to write a review, but I think it's worth it this time. For many years we've worked with this great team, which has been a huge blessing to us. Crystal, Paige, Jill, Junior, but especially Vince. It's a great blessing to find responsible people in this business who solve problems when you have them and are always looking forward to work needs. It makes our job easier. It would be great if everyone had the charisma and the way they treat people like Vince and his team do. Thank you for all your daily efforts and taking care of us.
“Blakeman Team – thank you so much for the effort today! It is nothing less than a miracle that you were able to find a driver, get the truck loaded, transport the product, and unload in the span of <5 hours. I know this is your business and what you do every day but for me, it is huge. This load had 192 cases of fried rice for a project that I have been working on for six months. This was the first delivery for my customer who will be repacking this into airline meals tomorrow. If your team hadn’t pulled this out we would have disappointed a lot of people and lost this sale. I appreciate your commitment and willingness to get this done!”
“Deandra is probably the best A/R person I have as far as staying on top of how things are moving through Websettle and lets me know very early on if something does not look correct. I wish all our carriers had people like her! …We wanted to recognize Deandra’s efforts and her dedication to our account. We really appreciate all she is doing for us.”
"One of the best groups of brokers, they are doing things differently. They try to keep things simple so you can be busy doing other things. We never have trouble getting paid from them like some other reviews state. I’m not as social as Chris (our driver) but I think they figured that out because he likes voice contact and I don’t – unless Chris is busy and I have to. Their rates are what keeps drivers on the road and maintain their companies. I think what makes them so different is they don’t try to live the Hollywood life; they’re more down to earth. They really do try to meet the drivers’ needs above theirs. Some drivers can be a tad bit too mean or bossy and you have to have a lot of patience with those, but Blakeman does a great job at handling all of the different types of people they do business with.
I gave five stars because they stand out above the others. Had we known the truth about them, we would have started our own authority sooner and now that we are, we don’t regret it – just from how much they help and try. I think the hardest part is getting used to the different employees you have to speak with across different departments. For example, the accounting is separate from the brokers. Other than getting used to speaking to multiple people, it’s not hard.
If I was to suggest one thing to other drivers, it would be for them to become an owner/operator; don’t procrastinate and keep putting your dreams on hold. With brokers like Blakeman that have your back, you don’t have to worry. There are some you have to watch out for but not with Blakeman. Shippers would be crazy not to work with them because they’re very much involved and dedicated to the drivers and their companies."
“At 1600, we had a shipment of beauty supplies that had to get to Jersey City the next day from Fort Worth. Ken, Craig, and the Expedited Department at Blakeman orchestrated air transit to New York and a hotshot delivery from there. My client was over the moon that it made delivery in time. We are extremely grateful of you and your team!”
Your company has great people,like Chris Pankau and Gail Landman working for you. Chris and Gail really helped ship some emu fat from McPherson Ks.to Headland,Al.. Chris was great helping me make this happen. Gail really was big help in setting my account up so we could use your service. This made a first time customer very happy with Blakeman Transport.
Hey Chris,
I really appreciate the service that you’ve provided, even when the trucker moved away from the pickup location you did a very good job by again re routing the truckers to the pickup location and pickup the products and deliver to them on time and not only that but also helping me with the delivery.
Thank you very much
Once again thank you for your help.

I just wanted to let you know that I think you have an outstanding employee with Nadia. I have dealt with her for several years now, and no matter the differences of opinions, she is always professional, courteous, and to the point yet diplomatic. She would probably make a great politician 😊. I’m sure you get lots of complaints so here is a compliment. With the changing times occurring it is still nice to know that I have a great carrier to handle our orders. Your drivers, customer service, and office personnel are always helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Thanks,
Pat
I have to tell you this has been by far the best customer service I have received from any carrier I have used. Thank you very much for this update. You will be seeing more business from us.
