What learners say
The optimiser sessions are the difference. Being able to explain why it planned a load that way is what clients pay for.
Charge management is complicated everywhere else. Building a rate table from scratch here made it clear.
Good coverage of both shipper and forwarder scenarios. I work for a 3PL and it applied directly.
