Escape the Traps of Aging On-Premise TMS Servers
Tired of green-screen lag, mandatory on-site servers, crashing Citrix sessions, and six-figure annual maintenance contracts with zero innovation? Exspeedite provides motor carriers a seamless, risk-free path to a modern, browser-native operating system.
The 5 Hidden Costs of Staying on Your Legacy TMS
What your legacy software vendor doesn't want you to calculate about your true cost of ownership.
On-Premise Server Hardware
Physical servers in your back closet require costly 4-year refresh cycles, battery backups, RAID arrays, Windows Server licenses, and outside IT emergency retainers.
Citrix & Remote Desktop Lag
Remote dispatchers and after-hours on-call staff struggle with slow VPNs, frozen sessions, and per-seat terminal server client access fees.
Disconnected Accounting & ELDs
Legacy systems rely on brittle nightly batch exports and manual CSV imports into QuickBooks, Sage, or Samsara, delaying your billing runs by days.
Hostage Maintenance Contracts
You pay 18% to 22% of original software cost annually in "maintenance," but receive zero UI modernizations, no modern API integrations, and terrible support.
Dispatcher Burnout & Onboarding Lag
New dispatchers take 6 to 9 months to learn arcane keyboard shortcuts and green-screen codes, leading to dispatcher turnover and operational mistakes.
Inbound Customer Check Call Drain
Legacy systems lack modern customer portals, forcing your staff to answer 40+ phone calls and emails per day asking "where is my truck?"

Frequently Asked Questions on Legacy TMS Replacement
How does Exspeedite migrate data from our legacy on-premise database?
Exspeedite provides automated data extraction scripts for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2 databases commonly used by legacy systems like Trimble TMW, McLeod LoadMaster, and TruckMate. We extract customers, addresses, rate tariffs, driver records, tractor/trailer rosters, and historical freight lanes directly into our cloud staging environment.
Will our fleet experience downtime during the cutover to Exspeedite?
No. We utilize a proven parallel dispatch run methodology. Your dispatchers and billing team test and validate active loads in Exspeedite alongside your legacy system until 100% confidence is reached. Cutover typically takes place over a weekend with zero load disruptions.
How does Exspeedite compare in pricing to maintaining our legacy server licenses?
Carriers typically eliminate $30,000 to $90,000 in annual on-premise server maintenance, SQL Server client access licenses (CALs), remote desktop Citrix licensing, and expensive outside IT consulting fees. Exspeedite is an all-inclusive SaaS model with zero server maintenance overhead.
Can our complex custom rating matrices and accessorial formulas be migrated?
Yes. Exspeedite was designed specifically to support deep, nuanced trucking rate tariffs. We model your exact mileage brackets, zip-to-zip matrices, FSC fuel formulas, and customer accessorial rules during Phase 2 of onboarding.
