I've used Mode Global for about 18 months. When a brokered load canceled two hours before pickup their platform still showed it "on route," my two trucks sat idle in New Mexico, I burned nearly $700 in fuel and missed a day's revenue while support took forever to answer.
Three years behind the wheel on the West Coast, I hit a nightmare detour after a bridge closure on a midnight run and thought my day was toast. Mode's dispatcher actually called me, updated the load in their app while I sat on the shoulder, rerouted me, and pushed for detention pay - that one person who solved the problem made all the difference. Invoice timing was a little slow afterward, but because of that quick save they get four stars from me.
Bottom line: Mode Global was competent, but I can't say the price always justified the results. Their technology improved load visibility and they handled tight intermodal windows well, yet for our steady Southeast lanes the brokerage and managed-transport fees plus recurring accessorials cut into margins more than the modest rate relief they provided. For a 55-truck operation I've run for twelve years, that leaves me genuinely torn - useful in spikes, hard to defend as a constant cost.
I've used Mode for nine years. For my 60-truck fleet in the Southeast, the thing that stood out was their intermodal pricing - saved us roughly $100–150 a load on JAX–CHI runs and cut down on empty miles. Billing's simple enough that I'm not spending half my week on disputes, so for the price it's been worth sticking with them.
