Owner-operator with three trucks and 22 years on Midwest roads. Switched from a pile of spreadsheets and constant phone tag to SAP Transportation Management, and the real-time ETAs and route updates are what actually sold me - stopped losing hours chasing drivers and guessing arrival windows. Took a little tweaking to fit our quirks, but cutting those back-and-forth calls gets it an easy 4/5.
What I liked most was that I had the basics up and running in an afternoon - profiles, a truck, and my first route imported without wrestling with weird file formats. After nine years on the road running three trucks in the Southeast I braced for a long setup, but the step-by-step wizard and sensible defaults cut that down to a couple hours. Support even answered a quirky EDI mapping question within a day, so I felt confident to go live right away.
Bottom line: pricey upfront but absolutely worth it for the fuel savings I actually saw. We run Southeast lanes and after a quarter the route consolidation trimmed deadhead by about 30%, which paid for the subscription and then some - happy with the spend.
