Bottom line: Kerry Logistics was worth the money - I actually saved cash. I run two trucks in the Northeast and after 11 years of dealing with brokers, KLN’s customs fees and straightforward invoices trimmed about $150–$250 off each load for me. That clear pricing is the one thing that made me happy; no surprises, just fewer headaches and more margin.

Last Tuesday I pulled into their Newark terminal two hours early and, to my surprise, they waved me straight to a door even though the place was slammed. That lightning-fast door assignment and check-in is what stuck with me - unloaded and back on the road in under 90 minutes, which for airport drayage saved my day. My only gripe was the app dropping POD photos once, so I had to call ops, but the quick turns keep me running with them.
Late pickups in Boston and Philly are the norm for me - after 11 years and two trucks in the Northeast I rely on a solid phone app to keep things moving. Werner Logistics' app nails the proof-of-delivery part: snap a couple photos, it tags and sends them, and I'm back on the road in 30 seconds. It stalls in weak-cell areas sometimes, but most days that quick upload shaves time at terminals and gets invoices moving faster.
Bottom line: they showed up when it counted. Had a last-minute export pickup and their tracking kept me posted - ETA updates were on the money, so I didn't sit empty all afternoon. I'm an owner-operator with two trucks in the Northeast and after eleven years you learn to tell the real pros; AIT handled a reroute without making me chase paperwork, which is why they're my go-to despite slightly higher fees.
Last Tuesday a load vanished from their tracking portal mid‑transit and nobody at DB Schenker could tell me where it was. Their real‑time visibility turned into smoke - ETAs flipped, the driver got three different pickup instructions, and I ate detention fees plus a missed delivery that cost me a day’s revenue; I run two trucks in the Northeast and have been at this eleven years, so I know when a system is broken. Never saw accountability either, just canned emails and promises that never came through.
Yesterday a receiver refused to accept my paper POD and I thought I was stuck - one tap in the CEVA app and the signed proof was uploaded and accepted within a minute, no hassle and no detention. I run two trucks in the Northeast, and that instant upload has easily cut my night paperwork in half. The app’s interface is simple with big buttons and it caches uploads when the signal drops, which is exactly what I need on long runs.
Random 800‑mile run last week turned into a breeze because EchoShip kept pinging my trailer every hour. After 11 years and two trucks running the Northeast, I’ve heard plenty of companies promise live tracking - this one actually matched what was happening on the road and cut my idle time waiting at docks. Short, accurate ETAs let me grab a quick load on the way back instead of sitting around; that one feature paid for itself.
Owner-operator with two trucks and eleven years running the Northeast - tried Hub Group on a few lanes to see if their setup paid off. Base rates were decent and pay runs were predictably quick, but after fuel surcharge quirks and a couple of accessorials getting reduced, my margin shrank more than I expected. Their Hub Connect tracking is actually helpful, so I wasn’t losing time chasing info, yet the end pay made some loads barely worth the wear and tear. Mixed feelings: sometimes it balanced out, other times I chalked it up to experience and moved on.
Bottom line: hit-or-miss - they'll move the freight but not always when you need them. I've been running two trucks for 11 years in the Northeast and Schneider showed up on tight lanes maybe half the time; when they did it was fine, but the other occasions meant extra deadhead and last-minute rebooks. Good option if your schedule has wiggle room, annoying if you need something locked in.
