Read this before anything else
This is software sold to carriers. It is not a brokerage, and it holds no authority.
Our domain name has the word broker in it, and people arrive here looking for one. This page exists so nobody spends a minute thinking we arrange freight. We do not, and we never have.
The list
Five things we do not do, and what to do instead
- We are not a freight broker and hold no operating authority.
A freight broker arranges transport between a shipper and a carrier and needs federal broker authority and a surety bond to do it. We have neither, we have applied for neither, and we do not act as one. If you are a shipper looking for a truck, you need a carrier or a broker, and we are software.
- We do not arrange transport for shippers.
Nobody at this desk will take your load, find a truck for it, or pass it to a carrier we know. The board holds loads a carrier has already booked through its own customers and brokers. We do not see those loads, and we do not want to.
- We do not quote, post or bid lane rates, and we connect to no load board.
There is no rate engine in the software and no link to any board where freight is posted. The board will not tell you what a lane pays, will not post your trucks, and will not bid on anything. What a load pays is between the carrier and its customer, and it stays there.
- We are not an electronic logging device and keep no hours-of-service record of record.
The hours on the board are typed by your office for planning. Nothing is read from the vehicle, nothing is approved by a driver, and nothing we hold satisfies any logging requirement. The device in the cab does that job; ours shows a planning number next to a load.
- We do not do factoring, insurance or compliance filing.
We do not buy invoices, arrange cover, or file anything with any agency on a carrier's behalf. If a page on this site ever seems to offer one of those, read it again; it does not. Carriers we work with keep their factoring company, their agent and their compliance person, and the board stays out of all three.
The reason
Why a software company writes a page like this
Small carriers get sold a lot of things that turn out to be something else. A planning tool that quietly posts trucks to a board. A dispatch service that is a brokerage with a subscription. A logging device that also wants to be the dispatcher. A carrier with eight trucks does not have a person whose job is to read the fine print, so the fine print gets found out the hard way.
We would rather be found out on the first page. The software puts the week's loads, trucks and drivers on one board, keeps home time and the hours your office entered in view, prints the run sheet, and keeps a record of what ran. That is the list. Everything on the list above is outside it, and it will stay outside it, because a tool that does one thing well for a small office stops being that tool the day it starts brokering.
It also matters for the carrier's own standing. A carrier whose planning software turned out to be arranging freight would have questions to answer about who was acting as broker and under what authority. We keep the line clear so those questions never come up.
For balance
What it is, in the same plain voice
It is a week board for a carrier that runs five to twenty tractors. Loads across the top, trucks down the side, drag a load onto a truck. Driver home days and days out are on the board before a load is placed, so a broken promise shows up red on a Monday morning instead of in a phone call on a Wednesday night.
It prints or texts a run sheet per driver with stops in order, appointment windows, drop-and-hook or live-load notes and the trailer number. It keeps a plain record of what ran so last month can be read back in a minute and exported as a spreadsheet for the bookkeeper.
It is sold to carriers, from Springfield, Missouri, with a walkthrough run on the carrier's own loads. It is supported by a person at a mailbox during desk hours. It has no other business. How the board works and the driver side are written out on their own pages.
