Less-Than-Truckload & CrossDock
Several customer loads. One dispatch. Separate paper.
LTL is less than truckload: several customers share the trailer instead of taking the whole thing. Consolidate multiple shipments, stage freight on your cross-dock floor, and run multi-stop routes with segregated customer billing and independent POD capture.
How LTL sits in EXSPEEDITE
The load module covers less-than-truckload, full truckload, and 3PL loads in the same unified workflow. Zoning lets you look up point-to-point miles and keep custom shipment filters. Pallet tracking keeps the pallet account honest across customer terminals. Multi-office filters keep one terminal from seeing another terminal's freight unless authorized.
Client auto rate applies per customer: per hundredweight (CWT), per mile, FSC matrix, pallet count, detention, and handling fees. An LTL dispatch carries multiple billed customers—each receiving their own branded invoice, BOL paperwork, and check-call status notifications.
Cross-dock staging & terminal operations
The CrossDock module allows warehouse teams to strip inbound trailers, assign freight to outbound door staging lanes, and re-manifest shipments onto linehaul units. Real-time OS&D reporting logs damages and piece count exceptions immediately at the dock door.
On the dispatch board
The dispatch dashboard shows real-time load progress: dispatched, docked, in-transit, delivered. Driver HOS duty clocks and GPS breadcrumbs remain visible. CheckPoint carries outside carrier GPS when overflow is brokered, while native EDI 214s transmit milestone events to enterprise shippers automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions: LTL & CrossDock TMS Software
What is LTL freight software?
LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight software allows motor carriers and logistics operators to consolidate freight from multiple shippers into single linehaul trailers, manage terminal cross-dock operations, generate individual customer bills of lading, and automate rating based on weight, pallet count, or freight class.
How does EXSPEEDITE manage multi-stop consolidation and separate customer billing?
On an LTL linehaul run, dispatchers can attach multiple orders with independent pickup and delivery milestones. EXSPEEDITE automatically generates individual customer invoices, proof of delivery receipts, and electronic EDI 214 check-calls for each shipper without cross-contaminating billing data.
Does the system support CrossDock staging and OS&D tracking?
Yes. EXSPEEDITE features an interactive CrossDock floor module where inbound trailers are stripped, freight is staged by outbound route doors, and overages, shortages, and damages (OS&D) are documented with photo evidence before linehaul departure.
How does pallet tracking work across terminals?
The pallet ledger module tracks wooden and plastic pallet balances (CHEP, PECO, standard GMA) per customer, terminal, and tractor, ensuring unreturned pallets are automatically reconciled or billed as accessorial fees.
