You can't believe anything they say!](/discussions/worst-customer-service-i-have-ever-dealt-with-you-can-t-believe-anything-they-say) I have been trying to get my upgrades, as well as add a couple of new vehicles since july of 2021. Here it is March 23rd 2022, and I just had another waste of an appointment, with lost revenue because of it! We have been a customer of this platform since it was owned by Fleetamtics. Back then we never had these issues. Complete incompetence in the customer service department! Still more incompetence! Nobody has a clue, they just pass it on to a new person, without giving them an update on what's going on. Dabre davis, Kinisha Griffin, Candace Pflum, Gregory Bernadeau, Joseph Wicinske, Madyson Johnson, Brian Jackson, Gary Sonnier, Monica Fonseca, David Luber, Joel Nickels have all been informed, emailed, part of this issue. I don't understand why they can't get this done! They have no idea what customer service is! Answered: Chad Reed on March 31, 2022 The logic of any ready-made TMS solution is often built around dispatching, and the rest of the features for them are secondary. For example, most of the popular systems today do not provide comfortable tools for HR and lead generation, and this is a huge part of the work of the logistics business. In reality, each transport company has its own specifics (scale, geography of work, characteristics of cargo/customers, composition of the fleet, etc.), that is, it needs unique tools. Ready-made solutions cannot provide such customization.

WE HAVE TOLD VERIZON MULTIPLE TIMES WE NOT LONGER HAVE A VEHICLE. You can't, really. getting out of the contract requires buying it out, which means paying the entire balance of monthly charges for the remainder of the contract. You're going to pay for it whether you receive the service or not, so you may as well ride it out. just pay attention to the contract end date as there is a narrow window to cancel. However, if you want to notify them that you do not want to auto-renew, you should be able to do that at any time. You may have to do that in writing though.
