I've used CEVA for about six years; once a cross-dock mix-up left a week of HVAC filters stuck in their LA hub and one of my trucks sat idle for two days while I chased emails and phone calls. They eventually found the load and issued a credit, which I appreciated, but as a West Coast owner-operator with two trucks and 30 years on the road that kind of downtime and slow communication still leaves me torn about working with them.
Bottom line: CEVA's pricing delivered clear value for our operation. The one thing that stood out was billing transparency - flat per-shipment rates and detailed line-item invoices eliminated the surprise charges that used to skew our monthly spend. In our Southwest operations, where I manage billing for a 250-truck footprint with 15 years of logistics experience, that predictability made the cost well worth it.
Two months ago a refrigerated load bound for a major supermarket was delayed by a terminal backlog and faced missing an overnight restock window. CEVA's U.S. operations team rerouted the shipment to a nearby cross-dock and tendered it to a local carrier within forty-five minutes, while their portal displayed updated ETAs in real time - one swift decision that saved the delivery. With ten years in fleet management and a thirty-truck roster on the West Coast, I appreciated that decisive coordination and single point of contact; it turned what looked like a service failure into an on-time drop.
Half the time their tracking portal gives lane-level ETAs that actually match what my drivers report and it cuts down my calls, but it also freezes, reverts statuses and makes my 25 trucks look late in front of shippers; I’m genuinely torn. Three stars - brilliant when it works, maddening when it doesn't.
Rate it, and the next carrier reading this page sees what you found.
