Moshe Frami's review of Ascent

Llewellyn DibbertJan 2026

...getting the first load live felt smoother than I expected. Their rep actually sat on a call and mapped our Southeast lanes into PEAK while I drank my coffee, and that hands-on setup got us running fast - the platform clicked once the lanes were in. Only gripe was a one-day delay on customs verification, otherwise solid start.

Yesterday an urgent ventilator shipment routed through Detroit showed "delivered" in Ascent's mobile app while our driver was still waiting at the receiving dock. The app's status sync lag and opaque error messages prevented us from rerouting or confirming receipt quickly; in-app updates failed repeatedly and critical edit functions are buried behind counterintuitive menus. I'm admin-staff supporting a 250-truck fleet in the Southwest, and this glitch caused a four-hour delay, a contractual penalty, and unnecessary driver overtime - unacceptable for time-critical freight.

Quick onboarding was the thing I liked most - our account and PEAK acess were live in two days, which let us redeploy trucks much faster than usual. The PEAK portal gives near-real-time positions and a single place to pull and approve documets, so for time-critical aerospace runs we had the visibility we needed, even if the customs process required an extra manual check. Minor hiccups on customs clearnace slowed one lane, but the fast start-up and practical visibility made the switch worthwhile for our 35-truck operation.
