Bottom line: DSV's support actually saved a delivery for me. I was on a run up the I-5 when paperwork flagged and their rep stayed on the phone with customs and the consignee while I sorted docs - cleared it same day so I didn't end up sitting overnight. The tracking app can be slow sometimes, but their follow-through more than made up for it.
They sent me to the wrong dock the first week I signed up - wrong BOL, truck sat for six houres while the rep "escalated" nothing. Onboarding was a nightmare: their portal kept timing out, i faxed the same insurance cert twice and customer support had me on hold so long I missed a delivery and paid about $350 in detention. I've been an owner-operator in the Midwest for 12 years and havent seen setup this clunky, wasted time and money, won't be rushing back.
Two-truck owner-operator in the Southeast with six years under my belt - I chose DSV even though their quote was higher than my usual carriers. Their real-time visibility and quicker handoffs wiped out the detention charges that usually eat my margins, so the extra cost actually paid for itself.
Bottom line: DSV didn't come through when timing mattered - and it cost me. Their portal showed 'in transit' for two days while my trailer sat at a yard waiting on missing paperwork; I missed a line-side window and ate detention fees. I've been driving six years in the Midwest and the radio silence plus useless hold times made this one of the worst runs I've had.
