and of course they bailed when loads mattered. I run a small two-truck outfit in the PNW and had three scheduled pickups vanish with zero notice - no tracking updates, calls to the rep went to voicmail and my retail buyer slapped a $1,800 chargeback on us. Cost me a weekend and a customer, won't trust them again.
The single biggest improvement was their billing transparency - no more surprise chargs and clear line-item backup on every invoice. We used to get cryptic bills from our prior partner, which for our 35-truck operation in the Southwest meant wasted days disputing costs, but Verst Logistics cut that headache and sped up settlements. Pickup reliability matched what we had before, and the faster payment cycles are enough for me to give them a 5/5.
For four years I've used Verst Logistics. One Thanksgiving week an I-95 closure left a driver two hours from a deadline and their on-call rep sourced a local carrier, rerouted the load, and updated EDI in under an hour - I've been dispatching a hundred trucks for 22 years and that quick, practical save kept the customer from a big detention fee.
Managing a 60-truck fleet in the Southeast has taught me to prize partners who actually show up on their commitments. Verst Logistics delivered that reliability during a recent holiday surge - consistent on-time pickups for our critical retail lanes kept freight moving and shelves stocked, which is the single thing that impressed me most after 11 years in the field. Their online portal stumbles now and then, so I can't give five stars, but when it mattered most they performed.
