What a broker TMS has to do

The whole load, start to paid, in one system

Most brokers stitch together a load board, a spreadsheet, an FMCSA tab and an email chain. Haulan replaces all of it. From the moment you check a carrier's authority to the moment the shipper pays, it lives in one place built for brokerages, not a bloated enterprise suite you'll never fully use.

Vet the carrier before you tender the load

Type an MC or DOT number. Haulan pulls the carrier's live FMCSA operating authority, cross-checks SAFER, shows the safety history and pulls insurance on the spot. Then it flat-out stops you from booking a revoked, inactive or broker-only carrier. Fraud protection is built into the workflow, not bolted on.

  • Live authority, updated from FMCSA, not a stale cache
  • Broker-only and revoked carriers are blocked, not flagged
  • Insurance pulls included every month on every plan

Onboard carriers in minutes, not days

Send a digital carrier packet by text or email. The carrier verifies their identity, fills in their info, e-signs your broker-carrier agreement, and uploads their W-9 and insurance certificate. It all lands back on the carrier's file, verified and organized. No PDFs to chase, no re-keying.

  • Your own broker-carrier agreement, e-signed
  • W-9, COI and authority stored on the carrier record
  • Review by text: approve or send corrections without logging in

Questions

Questions brokers ask before switching

What is a TMS for freight brokers?

A TMS (transportation management system) is the software a freight broker runs the business on: vetting and onboarding carriers, building loads, sending rate confirmations and BOLs, invoicing the shipper, and keeping every document in one place instead of across spreadsheets and separate tools.

How much does freight broker software cost?

Anywhere from free to thousands a month. Enterprise systems run implementation projects and contracts; mid-market platforms usually charge per user plus add-ons for e-sign and carrier vetting, which adds up fast for a small team. For a new or small brokerage a realistic budget is $50 to $150 a month total. Haulan starts at $70 a month flat with vetting, e-sign and packets included, no setup fee and no contract.

What is the best TMS for a new freight broker?

The best TMS for a new broker covers the day-one essentials without enterprise pricing: live carrier vetting, e-signed rate confirmations, BOLs, invoices, onboarding packets and document storage, all usable from a phone. Haulan was built for exactly this: solo and small brokerages that need the full workflow at a flat price.

Does Haulan check carriers against FMCSA in real time?

Yes. Every check pulls live FMCSA operating authority and cross-checks SAFER, then shows safety history and pulls insurance. Revoked, inactive and broker-only carriers are blocked from being booked, not just flagged.

Does it include carrier onboarding packets and e-signature?

Yes, on every plan. You send a link by text or email, the carrier verifies identity, e-signs your broker-carrier agreement and uploads their W-9 and insurance certificate. Starter includes 25 packets a month, Lite 50, Pro more, and extra packets bill at cents each.

Can I use my own broker-carrier agreement?

Yes. Upload your agreement and your own packet documents, and carriers e-sign those. Haulan also ships a standard agreement you can use on day one.

Is there freight broker software without per-user pricing?

Yes. Haulan charges one flat monthly price per tier instead of per-user seats, so the bill does not triple when you add a dispatcher. Starter is 1 user, Lite up to 3, Pro up to 5, Enterprise unlimited.

Does Haulan work on a phone?

Yes. Haulan works in any browser and there is a Haulan app on the App Store. Lite and up also get the text assistant, so you can check a carrier or find a load by texting Haulan from a truck stop.

Does it export to QuickBooks?

Yes. Every plan includes QuickBooks-ready exports for invoices, carrier bills and customers.

Can I switch from spreadsheets or another TMS?

Yes, and migration is free. Send us your carriers, customers and loads in whatever shape they are in and we load them into your account. There is no contract, so you can start small and grow into it.

Do I need a TMS if I only run a few loads?

Even small brokerages benefit. A TMS removes the manual, error-prone steps, re-keying carrier info, checking authority by hand, chasing paperwork, so you can move more loads with fewer mistakes and less risk of booking a bad carrier. At $70 a month it pays for itself the first time it blocks a bad carrier.

How is a TMS different from a load board?

A load board helps you find freight. A TMS helps you run it. Haulan handles carrier vetting, onboarding, documents and billing after you've matched the load, the operational side a load board doesn't touch.

How does the demo work?

You get a real Haulan account with sample loads, texted to your phone, usually within the hour during business hours. Run the MC numbers you are actually about to book. No card and nothing to install.

Last thing

Run the MC before you run the load.

Get a demo login and check the carrier you're about to book. If Haulan catches something, you've already got your money's worth, and the rest of the brokerage runs on the same screen from $70 a month. Free migration off your old system, no contract to sign.
