Twenty years behind the wheel in the Midwest, I appreciate tools that don't waste my time - Alliance's mobile app nails live tracking: ETA updates stayed honest on a string of cold-loads last month and saved me from sitting outside for hours. Dropped one star for occasional lag, but it's the best tracker I've used on the road.
Owner-operator here, 7 years running routes in the Northeast. Alliance's "real-time" tracking is the worst - on a recent reefer run the app showed my trailer at the DC for hours while I was still two exits away, which cost me a $350 detention fee and a missed delivery window. Support sent canned responses, no ownership, and i spent the next day on hold dealing with angry calls; not worth the headache.
Bottom line: not worth the money. Their quote looked fine until surprise accessorials and a phantom fuel surcharge turned a decent lane into a loss - I operate three trucks on West Coast runs and this bled $300–400 from my margin per load.
