Is it specific to dry bulk, or liquid bulk too?

Is it set up for EDI and integration with other systems, or is it just a dispatch and internal organizational tool like other TMS systems?

I guess I could just research it myself. I forgot that they were building a TMS, and therefor didn't look into it.

It is a system that we use to dispatch our loads to carriers. It keeps track of everything for us. They even offer Smart Freight Funding for companys that need to be paid quick. Feel free to call me with any questions. 563-380-3815

Caleb, can you help answer these questions. I mainly use it for Bulk and some tanker freight.

Hey Francis,

The BulkTMS is a dispatch tool designed to manage the freight you are moving easier. Carriers can use the BulkLoads app to see loads they are being assigned to and send back documents and invoices to get paid quicker. Shippers, Brokers, or dispatchers can easily manage their loads from week to week compared to having to dig through spreadsheets, whiteboards, or paper that are not the best at managing freight.

Here is a video explaining more,

Hey David,

The TMS was first built for all Bulk shipping but you can incorporate all trailer types through the system. The system is unique because it includes what most all dispatch programs do not have, an understanding of customs and weights that make up Bulk Shipping. We do have several integrations set up and have EDI and importing options as well.

If anyone would like to talk or have questions about the TMS please shoot me a message.

I've been using it for just over a year now. Love it. I demo'ed several TMS systems. This one clicked all the boxes. Flows great, keeps everything in one place.

I have been using the Bulk Loads TMS since they fielded it. I use it for Van and reefer loads as well as Bulk Agriculture Hopper loads. It is a very easy system to use and flows very well. In entering shipments into the systems there are a lot of short cuts to make order entry pretty quick. I like having all the histoical data that I can export into spreadsheets. I can look at what my high/low volume lanes are as well as high/low margin lanes to help focus the best use of our assets.
