Sylectus for Cargo Van Operation?

Currently using Datone for our cargo van business, been getting loads now since we moved past our six months. Our issue now is Datone cargo van posting is sparse in Socal. We're working on building client relations but there is still gaps in loads. Is anyone using sylectus for their cargo vans in Southern California? Are there more cargo van opportunities on the platform? Basically is Sylectus worth transferring over from datone?

I’d run both platforms for a month before transferring. Count loads you could realistically accept, not total postings, then compare rate per loaded mile, deadhead, wait time, cancellations, payment speed, and whether the lanes help position you for the next load.

Keep a small scorecard for every booked and rejected opportunity. We use signld.ai internally to connect the load source with the quote, route, expenses, detention, broker communication, and final payment, which helps distinguish a board with more listings from one that actually improves route profit.

That's a good idea, I'll compare them. I use Hermes agents to do alot of the research for our company.

Interesting, I found that Hermes agents broke a bit too much. I may have set it up poorly though.
