WE ARE NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A DISPATCHER, BUT WE ALWAYS ACCEPT APPLICATIONS AND RESUMES FOR FUTURE POSITIONS.

Our drivers are friendly and professional, and excel in providing the best customer service. LFFO serves all of Eastern Pennsylvania, New York City, Washington DC and most of the tri-state area.
