Dear Claude,

I am writing to you in regards to your employee Scott Black. I have had the pleasure of working with Scott on numerous occasions for the last couple months. His service is always prompt, courteous and accurate. He never fails to provide our company with more than satisfactory service! On our last shipment, we had a bit of a snag and Scott went out of his way to find out that status of that shipment and he made sure I was informed that the situation was resolved, and that the shipment was complete.  You are very lucky to have this gentleman working for you and representing your company! Thank you and we look forward to working with Scott in the near future!

Sincerely, Jamie

This was my first time to ship something by freight, and Casey Marchetti made this otherwise complicated transaction simple and pleasant for me. I first tried to do it online, but there were areas of information requested that I did not understand. Casey was patient and knowledgeable, and everything worked perfectly. The driver who picked up my boxes was also very friendly and helpful.

Phil Ferranto is a remarkable person. He provides the best service in the industry. It is always a pleasure working with him. I cannot thank him enough

Review - January 16th:
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how satisfied and impressed I am with one of your account managers…I work for a regional trucking company, so I know how important it is to handle customers with respect and kindness. I spoke to Brandy Derr early last week about getting a shipment picked up in San Jose, CA. that our company could not accommodate. She got me a very reasonable quote very quickly and followed it thru until today, when we finally got it all put together. She has stayed in touch with me via email as well as by phone thru every step of the process and made me feel very comfortable that a professional was handling my shipment. Her manner was one of kindness and concern throughout the entire process. I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that she is absolutely a credit to your organization. If I have anything else come up that we cannot handle, her phone will be the first one I ring – I will speak to nobody else there. At my request, and certainly at your convenience, please take a minute to let her know personally, that she is very much appreciated and how impressed I am with both her professionalism and kindness in dealing with me! I’m sure you will agree, that those traits are hard to find in most people nowadays and are extremely valuable in an employee who deals with customers personally. If needed, feel free to contact me…

Thank you, Don

Hello Folks!

You probably know that New Yorkers are challenged, taxed, stressed to the max because ours is a super fast pace.  While I like to give compliments, when due...my schedule is often too busy to do so.  However, in the case of Lindsey Winters...I'm putting aside tasks to say BRAVO!  

If Ms. Winters is a representation of your organization, we plan to use FreightCenter in the future and would recommend your operation.  Not only is she professional, thorough, informative, with excellent follow up, BUT she goes the extra mile and has the perfect demeanor and personality to assist even the most difficult customer.

Sincerely, Daisy

I wanted to drop you a quick note.  Mike is doing a great job. I’ve given him a couple of difficult shipments (at least in my mind) and they have gone very smooth. Over the next month we have about another 6 shipments and I’ll continue to challenge him.

Thank you for all of the help that Freight Center has given to us the last few months. You have been a huge help to West Pasco Habitat for Humanity. We would not be able to build homes for people at such a low cost if it were not for people like you and your employees. The Freight Center employees that we have had the privilege to work with have been hard workers, have had an excellent attitude, and have been excited to help. They have been a pleasure to work with. I hope that you will keep Habitat for Humanity in mind in the future, we would certainly love to work with Freight Center again! We have a space on a wall in our Restore where we display the logos of companies that have helped us. I would like to have Freight Center on there too.

Thank you again,
Kari, West Pasco Habitat for Humanity

We have had great success working with Freight Center through their agent Michael Hoxie. He has given us very prompt service and provided the shipping documents right on time for us to meet our deadlines. We will continue to ship with FreightCenter.

2012- A Year of Goodwill and Accomplishment

2012 has proven to be an exciting and fulfilling year for FreightCenter and our many agents and employees.  We shipped to over a million customers nationwide and have continued to grow and receive numerous awards and recognition for our accomplishments.  

This year alone we've been recognized on  Food Logistic's Magazine's top software providers list, placed on the Inc.500|5000 list for fastest growing companies, ranked on the Tampa Bay Business Journal's Fast 50 and many more.  Most importantly it's the amazing reviews from our customers reflecting on how great our agents are that brings the most pride to our company. In the past two months our employees have donated over 320 hours to local nonprofit organizations in the community.  Doing everything from painting homes to feeding underprivileged children, we are always amazed by how dedicated our employees are to our community.  

Next year to reflect our continuous growth we will be moving to a larger facility.  We have great hopes for the New Year and hope you continue to choose FreightCenter for all of your LTL, truckload and international shipping needs.

A Look Back at 2012

Freight Center Gets Great Reviews From Local Non-Profits

FreightCenter has been getting some amazing reviews lately. These reviews aren't just from satisfied customers and carriers, but from local non-profit organizations. FreightCenter most recently donated roughly 300 pounds of canned food to Feeding America Tampa Bay, America's leading hunger relief charity. 

FreightCenter is also undergoing their 2nd Annual 'Cash for Caring' program. FreightCenter employees are compensated hourly for their time spent volunteering at non-profit organizations. Employees have been hard at work painting homes, trimming shrubs, sorting canned foods, serving breakfast to the homeless, and much more.

Some of the organizations benefiting from the program include Women's Recovery Center of Tampa Bay, RAP House, Toys for Tots West Pasco, Suncoast SPCA, Salvation Army Domestic Violence, Habitat for Humanity and many more.

Check out these latest reviews from the organizations we've helped.

Habitat for Humanity: Just wanted to let you know that your people did great on Saturday! They worked so hard, they were a huge help to us! Thanks again, we couldn't have done this project without your support.

Feeding America: On behalf of Feeding America Tampa Bay, I would like to thank you for volunteering with us. Feeding America Tampa Bay greatly appreciates all of your contributions, hard work, and dedication to our organization. Our primary mission is to end hunger and nourish hope across the ten counties we serve, and we would be unable to reach this goal without the efforts of our volunteers. Your time spent with us makes a significant difference in helping our community diminish domestic hunger. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done to help us realize our mission. I wanted to let you know that Freight Center helped sort 7,716 pounds of non-perishable food donations. This equals out to about 6,430 meals!!

FreightCenter will also be serving as a Toys for Tots drop off location this season.  To drop off an new, unwrapped toy, please stop by our office at 2049 Welbilt Blvd. Trinity, Fl 34655 or give us a call 727-450-7800!

FreightCenter Receives TIA Samaritan Award

Congratulations to CEO Matthew Brosious and the FreightCenter team for receiving the 3PL Samaritan Award, Honorable Mention from the (TIA) Transportation Intermediaries Association .  The TIA is the premier association for third-party logistics companies in North America.  The TIA Samaritan Award reviews and recognizes organizations in our industry who perform exceptional service in our community.  This service is exemplified by providing resources or financial assistance to those in need, sponsoring and donating to non-profit organizations and performing other acts of kindness within the community.

FreightCenter CEO and co-founder, Mathew Brosious is known for giving back to our community in many ways. FreightCenter contributed $2,000 to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation for volunteer shirts, while collecting over $1,700 worth of toys from both he and the collection bins placed in the office. 

Recently FreightCenter also contributed $1,000 to Runaway Alternative Project House of New Port Richey.  The RAP House is an organization committed to working with families and the community to establish a nurturing environment for youth ages 10-17 who are runaway, homeless or in need of a short- term out of home placement. FreightCenter has also sponsored many employees to attend a variety of different fundraising walks.

FreightCenter also established a Cash for Caring Workplace Volunteer Program where employees were paid $12.00 an hour to volunteer their time.  Participants aided long-standing charities like the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Suncoast SPCA, Feeding America Tampa Bay, Youth and Family Alternatives in West Pasco and Toys for Tots West Pasco. The company paid out over $1,000 for the program, and FreightCenter is looking to continue it annually.

CEO Matthew Brosious Named an Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist

In today's edition of the Gulf Coast Business Review, our CEO Matthew Brosious talks about his experience bringing the transportation and logistics industry online. In the article that features other successful entrepreneurs in Florida state, Matthew talks about what drew him to the industry.

FreightCenter, Inc. initially started as a side business when James Brosious, Matthew's father and CFO of the company, allocated space for the online freight shipping provider in one of his pack-n-ship franchise stores. Business took off and FreightCenter grew from a single-man operation to having 100+ employees in under 15 years.

We're extremely proud of our CEO for being recognized as one of Tampa Bay's top entrepreneurs.

FreightCenter.com offers value-added pricing, while working with recognizable carriers throughout the United States, Canada and beyond.
