I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team of employees for their effort to provide the Alberto Culver Company top notch service. As one of the main core carriers for Alberto Culver, our expectations are set high and your team consistently exceeds those expectations. Over the past 30 years of service, your Company has consistently demonstrated the “can-do” attitude necessary to achieve the transportation results needed in today’s marketplace. I hope you will be hauling our freight for many more years to come!

Please pass along our thanks and gratitude to the entire CKR team, for helping make Alberto Culver the successful company that we are today.

Sincerely,
Wes Walker

For the last 15 years you have serviced Waddington Jaycare efficiently and professionally. Many times CKR has taken the extra step to help us service our customers on time. CKR drivers are polite and professional. They are a pleasure to work with and we know they will treat our customers with the same politeness they display at Waddington Jaycare. The business relationship we have built over the last 15 years I know will continue. I would like to thank the entire CKR organization for the extra effort they have given Waddington Jaycare through the years.

Sincerely

To Howard Schermerhorn and the CKR Transport family,

You are celebrating a 30th Anniversary in business and as I conclude my 14th season (years) as “shipper” of World’s Finest Chocolate (WFC,) I wanted to take the time to write to you and reflect on a business relationship that now exceeds 10 years.

Although I was fairly new to the “freight game” when we began discussing pricing, lane coverage and load bookings, I had enough experience with various carriers, many of whom, it turned out, were not worthy of handling our product, to distinguish and identify a carrier that would provide WFC with quality service and reasonable pricing. I can look back and laugh at bookings that didn’t get a load moved or the quotes that didn’t bill the same, as discussed, knowing it takes those lessons learned to recognize a good “player.” I take pride in the fact that I was able to get things rolling with you back then and was able to quickly establish an excellent business relationship.

I sensed from the beginning that putting CKR on a load was an act of solving the problem and accomplishing my mission. Throughout the years of doing business, despite the changes in my business models, customers, even employers, I could always call you or Judi DuBeau and expect a high quality of service with integrity.

CKR Transport has represented to me a trusted source of freight coverage, an invaluable resource of knowledge on transportation specific issues and fair pricing for the customer I’ve represented. Your ability, Howard, has been a unique experience and one that has provided me great value. Nobody I know looks at out business quite the way you do and you’ve been very generous with sharing a wealth of knowledge. When it’s been time to act quickly and respond to an almost “too late” request for coverage, most often times you would “switch things around,” bailing out everyone involved with getting WFC to market.

I’ve often said that I’ve routed freight “from the gut” and CKR Transport has always given me a good “gut” feeling. Keep up the fine work that you do and I can only hope, with all sincerity, to continue to be a valued customer to CKR.
