App is hit-or-miss with tracking - sometimes the map shows my trailer moving fine, other times it freezes for hours. I like the quick scan for docs, but notifcations are random and it boots me out mid-run; after 7 years on the road in the Northeast I shouldn't have to call a broker because the app forgot the pickup. Torn 'cause when it's working it's actually handy, but the daily flakiness makes me check everything twice which is a pain.
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.
