Negative Larsen Transfer Company Reviews
Hello everyone to all truck drivers! ...I met a woman who brazenly coughed in my face and did not answer me politely at all...the man began to insult me with his gestures. In the end I left their trailer on the street.
Contract says 10pm, but locked at 9. All other company's allow guests a way out. 3 emergency numbers. After 10 calls, I'll call police. It's 945
We tried multiple times to get a date and time set up and did not get a return call after being told they would contact us
