System Overview

FreightMaster TMS® allows users to assign carriers to traffic lanes so that loads are tendered and priced to selected carriers automatically. In addition it handles consolidated loads and pool trucks, arranging multiple stops in the optimal sequence as well as coordinating inbound and outbound routings. The system provides automated costing by freight type and traffic lane and maintains an analysis of inbound and outbound traffic for benchmarking purposes. It also manages carrier pickup and delivery appointments and collects claims data for automated claim filing.
