Another way to further improve operations of your transportation business is using GPS tracking of your trucks. Load Manager has partnered with these companies so you always know where your customer’s loads are. Our most recent efficiency improvement is the customer portal which allows your customers to log in and see the status of their loads. This avoids needless phone calls from your customers and saves valuable personnel time which is a direct saving on your labor costs.

Complete Freight Broker Software

Load Manager has been designed from the ground up using new technology.

This makes Load Manager the best value on the market, with no up front costs. To see some of the features you can watch the video tutorials.
