Freight broker software questions
Freight broker software, sometimes called truck broker software or transportation broker software, is a transportation management system built for non-asset brokers. It takes a shipper request from quote to booked carrier to invoice in one record, so the brokerage stops running on spreadsheets, inboxes and separate tools. UltraShip adds a free built-in CRM, carrier vetting and load board connections to that core.
A TMS is the system that runs loads: booking, tracking, documents and billing. Freight broker software is a TMS built for brokers, so it also handles what a broker needs and a fleet does not: shipper sales, carrier sourcing and vetting, and paying carriers you do not employ. UltraShip is both in one system.
Most vendors charge per user per month, and some add setup fees, contracts or charges per load or integration. UltraShip charges per user with no contracts and no setup fees, the CRM is free inside every plan, and there is no UltraShip fee for connecting your integrations. We walk you through pricing on a short demo.
Yes. In UltraShip, invoices and carrier bills are created from the load and sync to QuickBooks, so nothing is keyed twice and accounting works from the same numbers as operations. One customer cut its invoicing routine from eight manual steps to three after switching on the two-way sync.
Yes. UltraShip is a load-board-native TMS, built in collaboration with 123Loadboard: 123Loadboard carriers for your lane show up in CarrierQ before you quote. DAT Convoy and Truckstop connect to UltraShip too. Load boards keep their own subscriptions; UltraShip charges no fee to connect them.
Most brokerages are fully running within a few days. Data migration is built into UltraShip, so you move your own shippers, carriers and loads without handing your data to anyone, and our team trains and onboards your brokers from day one, in person at no charge.
Some vendors offer free plans with limits on users, loads or features, which can suit a broker's first few loads. UltraShip is a paid TMS with no contracts and no setup fees, and its CRM is free inside every plan, so you do not pay for a separate CRM on top.
No. UltraShip includes a free built-in CRM for shippers and digital onboarding packets for carriers and shippers, with carrier vetting through MyCarrierPortal, RMIS or Highway inside the TMS and Gateway, UltraShip's own carrier vetting. Everything stays on the same records as your loads.
