Frequently Asked Questions: Freight Brokerage & Broker TMS
What is freight brokerage software?
Freight brokerage software (broker TMS) is an operating system used by freight brokers and 3PLs to source carrier capacity, negotiate and issue rate confirmations, verify carrier safety and insurance compliance, track shipments in transit, and automate billing and carrier settlements.
How does the Brokerage Board (Hot Board) calculate margins?
The Brokerage Hot Board dynamically computes gross margin dollars and profit percentages in real time as brokers adjust target buy rates against client bill rates, preventing unprofitable load tenders before dispatch.
How does 1-click Carrier Accept replace manual rate confirmations?
Instead of emailing PDFs that carriers must print, sign, scan, and email back, EXSPEEDITE generates a secure digital rate confirmation link. Carriers review terms on their mobile phone or desktop and click Accept, legally locking in the rate and instantly updating load status to Confirmed. Learn more on our Carrier Accept (Load Offer) portal.
How do freight brokers track outside carriers without an app?
EXSPEEDITE includes CheckPoint, an app-less mobile tracking system. Dispatchers text a secure tracking link to the outside driver's smartphone. The driver taps the link to share browser GPS coordinates, providing automated geofenced check calls and mobile POD uploads directly into the broker's TMS.
