Bottom line: FedEx Logistics was noticeably quicker than the regional outfit we used before - their customs brokerage cleared a shipment that used to sit for a day in under three hours, and with my 40 trucks that sped up driver turns and saved a lot of headaches. Rates ran a touch higher, but that one change made the switch worth it.
...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.
