What shippers say
They sent the seal photo before the truck left our gate in Agbara. Two days later the same photo matched at Onitsha. That is the whole job, done properly.
Our 40 ft boxes used to sit four days at Apapa. Northstar runs them at night and the empties go back on time. Detention bills dropped by more than half.
The dispatcher picks up at 2am. I did not believe that until our generator move to Lekki ran late and he was still on the line.
