carrier eXchange

Eliminate paper processes, double key entry, logistics chatter, and the need for multiple driver applications when sharing loads with other carriers.

The Carrier exchange is a simple to implement "EDI" solution that enables Carrier TMS systems to share loads and inventory with each other in real-time.  The exchange facilitates the flow of logistics data from one system to another without process change. 250+ Carrier companies already use their own TMS system, driver application and the exchange to transact load, ePoD and delivery status information every day. Costly and time-consuming paper processes, double key data entry and email/telephone communications have been eliminated. 

Do you share or receive loads from other carriers? 

Why not make life simpler for your drivers, your logistics personnel and your business?

• Enable your small carriers to be ePoD compliant and connected to your TMS system
• Automate the vVINin-share process in your business, eliminating paper PoDs
• Use one business process irrespective of the company or driver delivering your vehicles
• Share loads and improve your delivery efficiency and asset utilization
