When I first started working with American Furniture Warehouse, they had only run one load with us. Since then, they’ve significantly increased in volume and won back-to-back Carrier of the Year honors. Beyond volume, our shared dedication to service and efficiency has made the partnership strong. We work together to find mutually beneficial solutions and tackle every issue head-on with transparency and collaboration. Thank you to the entire American Furniture Warehouse team—partnerships like ours are what make this industry special, and I could not be more thankful.
