Slow, inconsistent support from MetroMax was the main problem. Their dispatch team missed two critical pick-ups in a three-week span for my 30-truck West Coast fleet, and the delayed responses cost us driver detention fees and several hundred miles of unnecessary deadhead - easily thousands in lost revenue. I expected proactive communication from a paid dispatch partner; instead I spent hours each day chasing simple status updates.
The mobile app's interface is tidy and straightforward, but its instability during peak hours is frustrating. Notifications arrive late and the map often takes too long to refresh, which on a tight schedule turns into extra phone calls and wasted time. Managing sixty trucks across the Southeast, I appreciate the quick load visibility when the app behaves, yet the intermittent crashes make me hesitant to lean on it for daily dispatching.
Not gonna lie, getting set up with MetroMax took more back-and-forth than I expected - the portal walk-through was fine, but verifying my DOT/MC and linking payment info dragged out a couple weeks. Once that was sorted I started getting decent Midwest loads, so I'm stuck between "worth it" and "too much hassle to switch right now."
