What do you like best about SONAR?

I've had a genuinely positive experience using FreightWaves SONAR, particularly due to the level of support and the practical insights it offers into the freight market. From the get-go, the support team stood out for their responsiveness and eagerness to help, making the initial learning curve much smoother than expected.

What impresses me most about SONAR is its ability to demystify the macroeconomics of the trucking market. The platform provides a clear, concise view of market conditions, which has been instrumental in my decision-making process. It's not just about having access to data; it's about getting precise, relevant information that's actually applicable to my day-to-day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Insightful in Real Time"
5/5
What do you like best about SONAR?

The tender and rejection data on a macrolevel, regional level, and lane level are very impactful to making decisions not only for our assets, but also for 3rd party carriers. It allows for us to see what's happening in the marketplace much eralier in the process than other providers that have market data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SONAR?

SONAR is still building out their pricing tools. We feel like others that offer pricing guidance are more in line with what we are seeing in the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
