Been an owner-operator in the Midwest for 12 years and I deal with customs pretty much every week. FedEx Logistics' customs brokerage actually cleared one of my loads faster than usual and that saved me a day, which was great - but then the invoicing had surpise fees and an agent swap messed up the pickup window so I was stuck playing phone tag. Love the speed when it works, hate the paperwork headache. Kinda torn on them.
...that predictable landed-cost quote was worth every penny. After 12 years of chasing surprise brokerage fees for a southeastern fleet of about 50 trucks, having one clear customs charge from FedEx Logistics meant fewer headaches and no unexpected hold-ups at the border. They might charge a touch more up front than random brokers, but paying a little extra to avoid late fees and paperwork nightmares made it totally worth it.
Loved that FedEx Logistics pulled an impossible cross-border pallet through customs at midnight and saved a retail launch. But the invoice nightmare after - three different adjustments in a week, voicemail purgatory, and my dispatch desk (I run 25 trucks out of the Midwest with six years in the seat) had to redo schedules because no one could give a straight answer.
…the FedEx Logistics app's photo-POD upload is crazy fast - snap, attach, send and the stop's closed in under 30 seconds, saved me reall time. After 18 years on the road in the Southeast I ditched the extra tablet; routing and POD flow keep me movin even when signal's spotty, map has a tiny blip sometimes but still solid.
