Only took 54 emails and going over 7 people's heads to verify one document
Needed a simple ELD exemption verified for a glider kit truck. Should've been a two minute review. Instead it took slightly over a week, 51+ emails, and seven different reps who apparently share one brain cell between them.
Told my "technical problem" was causing failed uploads (it wasn't confirmed successful across three devices and two browsers), had a completely different truck approved by mistake while mine sat untouched, and got asked for documents I'd already sent, repeatedly, by people who clearly never opened the thread.
Funny how the second I emailed the CEO directly, it got resolved in under 24 hours. Almost like it was never actually hard, just buried under a support team with zero accountability and the memory of a goldfish.
If you're a small carrier, budget two weeks and a therapist for anything beyond the basics.
