When we made the decision to start Vesta Freight, we knew we
needed a real TMS that could take us from our first load to thousands
of loads per month. And that’s Descartes 3G TMS: Simple enough for
our start-up, comprehensive enough for our ambitions, and a partner
to us for the entire journey because each load may be a transaction,
but each customer and carrier relationship is anything but.
