We have been doing business with Acusalus for a few years already, and the level of service that we have received has always been exceptional. In the past, we have dealt with a number of services, none of which have provided the level of communication, quality of work, and timeliness that Acusalus has. Being a trucking company, it is certainly nice to deal with a consulting company that knows and understands the trucking industry. The quality of information that is provided to us through their reports and services has assisted our safety department tremendously. The quality and knowledge brought into our company inspires us to continually work with them.
