"Wilmar has been a wonderful partner for us. I had originally decided to handle our small fleet by myself. I quickly determined that I did not have the expertise. Todd Jones came in and saved us significant time and savings. I had not understood the size and scope of the Company. We are grateful for what they do for us. Makes my life so much easier. "
