What is Load Manager?

Load Manager is a transportation management system (TMS) from Load Manager Inc., a company based in Hauppauge, New York. It is sold to freight brokers, trucking carriers, dispatch services companies and freight agents, and it covers rate confirmations, dispatching, invoicing, carrier records and reporting in one browser-based system. The company says its products were built from scratch rather than assembled from third-party parts.

The line began with freight broker software and grew to include Carrier TMS, Dispatch Services TMS and a combined plan for companies that operate more than one model. Separate products cover carrier onboarding, Carrier Lookout risk management, mobile GPS and dispatch, TMS accounting, EDI and load board posting. Load Manager also lists a website development service and an AI TMS offering.

How does Load Manager work?

Customers pick a plan on the pricing page, add it to the cart and check out. Login details and training videos arrive by email, and the company says a new user can dispatch a load or create a rate confirmation in under a minute. Data migration and training are described as free. Customer comments on the site say each load sits on a single screen.

Data is hosted in a HIPAA-compliant data center on Tier 3 hardware that Load Manager says maintains 99.999% uptime. The company states it can upgrade and maintain servers without powering them off. Integrations with load boards, accounting packages, tracking tools and EDI partners connect to the core system, and availability depends on each customer's configuration and provider account.

Key features of Load Manager

Core workflows include rate confirmations, dispatch reports, bills of lading, quotes, invoices and commissions. Teams also get a KPI dashboard, sales and profit reports, driver settlement reports, and carrier, driver, truck and equipment management. Access is controlled through security and user role permissions, and data can be imported and exported. An office and agent management module and a customer portal are listed as well.

Operations tools include maps and routing, GPS tracking, posting to more than 50 load boards and a carrier database. Carrier due diligence pulls FMCSA data on violations and insurance. A proprietary mobile app provides real-time GPS tracking and geo-fence load status updates. Multi-company features let one system manage several LLCs with a shared customer database. Text dispatch is sold as an add-on.
