Landstar needs to do more about their drivers, that was how this driver delayed us by spending more than an hour picking people from kaduna and was very slow while driving until we almost fell into the hands of gun men around kaduna-abuja express road they shoot our bus from both sides, it was then the driver realized he was supposed to speed up
Thank God nothing happened sha and God took control that night
I regret sending goods through your company, sent goods since Thursday and uptil Saturday I hv not received it. From Kano to Ibadan and the rude agent is telling me to come and collect my goods if I cannot wait can you imagine.
I have to complain of non arrangements of loads. All the passage or walkway with in the bus filled with loads and making it uncomfortable for passengers to stretch legs or move when the bus have to stop. Management should please do something about this.
