Lwebber@regionallogistics.com Regional Enterprises, Inc. and Virginia Hiway (now VHI Transport) have worked together since 2004. It isrefreshing to work with a Freight Broker that takes the, “partnership” approach when dealing with its carriers. Prompt payment, pleasant employees and a “can do” attitude, that mirrors our own, creates an environment in which both companies benefit and flourish. Connie Whitley and the entire VHI staff exhibit the kind of professionalism that is seldom seen nowadays and strive to give everyone; whether they are a revenue-producing customer or service-providing carrier the attention they need and deserve.
