Been using BulkLoads for about three years. The hopper/equipment filter that strips out all the non-bulk junk and only shows grain and hopper runs within my radius is a massive time-saver for my two-truck operation in the Southeast - cuts scrolling down to almost nothing.

I've used PCS Dispatch Manager for about eight months. During a night run on I‑75 when my lead truck blew a fuel pump, I dragged the load to my backup driver on the visual board, the system pushed a new ETA and a driver notification automatically, and that one move kept us from taking a big detention hit (GPS blipped once, but the reassignment saved the day).
What surprised me was Cortex AI's route suggestion that grabbed a backhaul I would've otherwise missed - turned a 120-mile deadhead into a paying run. I run two trucks in the Southeast and that one tip probably paid for the software this month; gave it 4 stars because the mobile app can lag when I'm on the road.
PeopleNet beat the clunky ELD I used before - the HOS actually matches what drivers see and exporting a clean roadside inspection report is effortless. I've been at this six years with a two-truck outfit in the Southeast, and that one reliable inspection printout saved me time and headaches; it costs more than my old setup but pays off.
Offline mode on the mobile app saved my hide during long stretches of spotty service - I could still attach POD photos and push status updates so invoicing didn’t stall. I run two trucks in the Southeast and that one feature keeps our days far less frantic.
Bottom line: it worked when I needed it - during a late-night storm that knocked out our office internet the dispatch module kept every live load intact and we didn't miss a run. I operate two trucks in the Southeast and the load-status accuracy is what made me happiest; fewer frantic calls and quicker settlements.
I've used it for three years. The predictive ETA alerts are the standout - on my Southeast runs they actually adjust for dwell and traffic, so I stopped burning phone minutes chasing down arrivals.
Bottom line: CargoWise saved me from eating a big detention bill. I run two trucks in the Southeast and last month a load hit a customs hold at Savannah - the system flagged the missing invoice, I uploaded it from my phone, and the release came through before they even called for a detention charge; that one quick fix paid for months of use.
Bottom line: switching to OpenText Business Network felt like a step backward - it was costly, onboarding dragged on for months, and their EDI mappings kept breaking so invoices didn’t go out. I ran two trucks on a simpler system before and since moving we missed a load, paid a $450 detention charge, and spent weeks on support tickets while cashflow ground to a halt.
I've used Infios for eight months. Getting started was a headache - setup meant hours of field mapping and a paid consultant to untangle integrations, which felt like overkill for my two-truck outfit in the Southeast, but once it clicked it cut out a lot of double-entry and gave clearer pickup windows; still not sure the upfront time and cost made sense for a small carrier.
