Didn't expect the quote to jump that high for what was basically a standard freight move - ended up paying more than the usual carriers. After 7 years running my own rigs in the Northeast I know what a fair rate looks like, and Yusen was reliable enough but not worth the extra 15-20% they overchaged. Maybe if you're hauling time-critical medical stuff it's worthit, but for my day-to-day loads I'm still on the fence.
I've used Yusen Logistics for five years. With twelve years managing a 55-truck fleet in the Southeast, the feature that stood out was their portal's real-time ETA updates and automatic push alerts; those live adjustments let us cancel unnecessary deadhead miles and reschedule drivers before they faced long waiting times at terminals. The operational impact was tangible - weekly driver idle hours dropped and dispatching became noticeably more predictable.
Bottom line: Yusen pulled a last-minute miracle and got a transmission module to our Indiana plant overnight when our vendor missed the cut-off. I called them at 7pm, they rebooked an air uplift, arranged a local pickup, and the dispatcer stayed on the line updating me - saved us from a shudown. I've run my own trucks in the Midwest for 12 years, and this kind of follow-through is rare, so I'll be calling them again.
