Used them for 18 months. When a holiday promo hit they missed cutoffs and left pallets sitting for days - coust me a week of sales, dozens of chargebacks and a mountain of overtime to clean up, billing still full of errors I havent gotten straight; not reliable when it mattered.
What really impressed me was how quickly they corrected a mislabeled pallet that had already been staged for a major retailer's shipment. We caught the mistake when our driver scanned the pallet at the dock; Saddle Creek's team pulled the order in their portal, matched photos, and had a single rep on the line with us within 20 minutes to reroute and re-pick. I manage a fleet of 100 trucks in the Pacific Northwest and after seven years in logistics I don't hand out praise lightly - that same-day recovery prevented a costly chargeback and kept our client calm. Communication was sharp, one person owned the fix, and the platform actually made coordination faster instead of creating more emails. Billing reflected the agreed adjustments with no surprise fees, which was the final cherry on top.
Getting started was a real headache - the onboarding paperwork and EDI hookups dragged on way longer than I expected. That said, the platform itself is solid and our rep stuck with us; after a couple weeks my three-truck Midwest outfit, after 22 years in the game, was finally pushing orders through their regional hub. I'm torn: it works now, but the startup friction cost time and a few missed loads, so I'm not thrilled.
Bottom line: the mobile app is unreliable and cost us a full day's routes. With a 40-truck operation, it crashed during barcode scans and refused to sync route changes, leaving drivers stuck and me on the phone for eight hours - overtime paid and two guaranteed deliveries missed.
