What Load Manager does

Load Manager Inc. is a privately held, cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) software provider that builds proprietary software for freight brokers, asset-based trucking carriers, and third-party dispatch service operators. The platform was developed from scratch and is offered as four modular core products - Freight Broker TMS ($79.95/user/month), Carrier TMS ($89.95), Dispatch Services TMS ($89.95), and a Hybrid Broker-Carrier bundle ($99.95) - with a Premium tier at $129.95 that combines the core products with key add-ons. The architecture is fully cloud-native with Tier 3 infrastructure certified to HIPAA, SSAE 16 Type II, PCI DSS, AICPA/SOC 2, and ISO 27001 standards, with reported actual uptime of 99.999% and daily backups.

The product surface is broad and domain-specific: it integrates natively with over 50 load boards (DAT, Truckstop, 123Loadboard, Direct Freight), supports EDI transaction sets 204/214/212/210/990/997 for trading partner communication, links accounting suites (QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage 50), provides GPS visibility via MacroPoint and Project44, and delivers carrier risk monitoring through SaferWatch and FMCSA data with color-coded compliance indicators. Operational features include multi-LLC/multi-company management, dispatching, IFTA tax data export, driver settlements, rate confirmations, BOLs, invoicing, SMS/text dispatch to drivers, bulk load editing, and a browser-based web app for drivers that requires no native install. Geographic scope is North America (United States and Canada), with multi-currency support (USD/CAD) added in May 2025.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through direct-to-customer channels with no resellers or referral partners: a self-serve website funnel with 30-day free trial, $30 signup fee, transparent pricing, and inside phone sales. The model combines per-seat subscriptions ($79.95-$129.95/month) with setup fees (e.g., $6,995 for EDI), recurring add-on subscriptions ($15-$199.95/month), hardware sales ($195 GPS device), usage-based messaging fees ($0.05-$0.10 per transaction), and hourly professional services ($100/hr). The company is headquartered at 2150 Joshua's Path, Suite 18, Hauppauge, NY (legal domicile) with listed presence in Tampa, and operates with an 11-50 employee headcount with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investor.
