Bottom line: PCS TMS was worth the price for our fleet. In my eleven years managing a 60-truck Southeast operation the Cortex AI's instant routing recommendations - what actually made me happy - slashed deadhead and fuel spend so quickly that the subscription essentially paid for itself in about three months. If cost is the main concern, that single feature alone makes the investment sensible.
The mobile app is useless - glitches left us stuck an extra 90 minutes and cost me a missed pickup plus a customer chargeback. We’re a two-truck owner-operator outfit in the Midwest and the drivers had to reboot constantly because PODs wouldn’t sync and the GPS jumped around, so the ‘real-time’ tracking felt like fiction and our invoicing was shoved weeks behind.
Thirty years on the West Coast with a two-truck operation - I moved off our old clunky TMS and the biggest difference is the ETA accuracy. PCS’s Cortex AI actually tweaks routes in real time and cut our empty miles, which made dispatch mornings way less painful.
