“TOTE Maritime has been using the services of Petrucela in our Tacoma and Anchorage locations for inspections of newly manufactured vehicles. Not only do we get consistent inspections, sometimes during very inclement weather, we receive great service. If we need additional EDI service or supplemental work they have always stepped up and covered the requirement. Petrucela answers emails and phone calls immediately, their work is consistent and accurate but mostly they are pleasure to work with.”
