Tender loads to one carrier or many — run a waterfall (offer down a ranked list, auto-advancing when a carrier passes or the offer times out) or a broadcast (offer to all, first accept wins), right from the load.
TruckerPro gives freight brokers and asset-based carriers who also broker one system to move a load from tender to settlement. Offer loads to your carriers, vet their authority and insurance against FMCSA data, keep margins inside the rules you set, and pay them — without leaving the platform or keeping a second tool.
Tender loads to one carrier or many — run a waterfall (offer down a ranked list, auto-advancing when a carrier passes or the offer times out) or a broadcast (offer to all, first accept wins), right from the load.
Negotiate without the phone tag — carriers accept, reject, or send a counter-offer with their rate; you accept or counter back, and the system enforces one accepted offer per tender.
Vet carriers against FMCSA — look up a carrier by DOT, MC, or name to see operating authority, safety rating, fleet size, and whether liability and cargo insurance are on file, refreshed automatically for carriers you use.
A safety gate before you tender — TruckerPro warns or blocks tendering to a carrier that is not authorized, rated conditional, or unrated on a high-value load unless a manager acknowledges the risk.
Keep margins inside your rules — set margin thresholds by lane, equipment, or customer that warn, require approval, or block, checked live and again at award so you see the spread before you commit.
Match and rank carriers automatically — filter by equipment and rank by scorecard, posted capacity, and valid insurance, using rule-based scoring rather than a black box.
Carrier scorecards from your own history — on-time pickup and delivery, acceptance and cancellation rates, and a weighted overall score built from your real load and tender data.
A self-serve carrier portal — carriers sign in with a secure token to view and accept tenders, post available capacity, upload insurance and authority documents, and see and QuickPay their own payables.
Rate confirmations e-signed per load — send a tokenized rate-con for a typed signature with an IP audit trail, stored on the load.
Settle carriers in the same system — carrier pay flows into accounts payable with QuickPay and remit-to-factor, and a customer credit limit can block new loads when a customer runs over it.

Start Free TrialFreight broker software helps a freight brokerage manage the full life of a brokered load: tendering the load to carriers, vetting those carriers, negotiating the rate, tracking the shipment, and paying the carrier. It replaces the spreadsheet-and-email workflow with one system that keeps carriers, offers, margins, documents, and settlements together. In TruckerPro, brokerage runs inside the same account as asset-based dispatch, so you can self-haul a load, broker it, or mix both across its legs.
You tender a load to carriers in one of two modes. A waterfall offers the load down a ranked list one carrier at a time, automatically advancing to the next when a carrier rejects or lets the offer time out. A broadcast offers it to several carriers at once, and the first to accept wins. Carriers can accept, reject, or send a counter-offer with their own rate; you accept or counter back. The system enforces that only one offer per tender is ever accepted.
Yes. Look up any carrier by DOT number, MC number, or name and TruckerPro returns their operating authority, safety rating, fleet size, crash and inspection summary, and whether liability and cargo insurance are on file — from FMCSA data, refreshed automatically for carriers you have used recently. Before you tender, a safety gate warns you (or, on high-value loads, blocks you until a manager acknowledges it) if the carrier is not authorized, rated conditional, or unrated.
You set margin rules by lane, equipment, or customer. When a carrier rate would push a load below your threshold, TruckerPro can warn the dispatcher, require a manager approval, or block the award — and it checks both while you negotiate and again at the moment you award the load, so you always see the spread between the customer rate and the carrier rate before committing.
Yes. Each carrier gets a secure, token-based portal login (expiring and revocable) where they can view and accept or counter your tenders, post the capacity they have available, upload their insurance and authority documents, see the status of their payables, and request QuickPay. It keeps carrier communication and paperwork in the system instead of your inbox.
Yes. Carrier pay flows into accounts payable as carrier bills, with QuickPay for early payment and the option to remit to a carrier's factoring company. On the customer side, you can set a credit limit per customer that automatically blocks new loads when their overdue balance exceeds it.
No — that is the point. Brokerage is a module inside the same TruckerPro account, not a separate product. A company that runs its own trucks and also brokers freight uses one login, one customer list, and one set of loads; any load can be assigned to a company driver or tendered to an outside carrier, including on different legs of the same multi-stop move.
