Truckload management software is a specialized type of software designed to optimize and streamline operations in trucking companies, such as effectively managing truck fleets and drivers, managing truckloads for better efficiency, and enhancing the overall profitability of operations.
Truckload Management Software automates load management, dispatching and scheduling using real-time data.
A TMS integrates with ELDs (electronic logging devices), allowing dispatchers to track the location of their vehicles, monitor driver activities, and receive timely updates on load status. It also helps ensure compliance by tracking driver hours and keeping track of inspections and maintenance schedules.
The trucking industry faces several challenges in effectively managing truckload capacity. With seasonal peaks and troughs in demand, unexpected surges and rising fuel costs, trucking companies must maximize truck utilization and plan the most efficient routes, considering complex factors such as traffic congestion, road closures, weather conditions, and customer delivery windows.
Retaining skilled drivers is another persistent challenge in the trucking industry. A TMS helps with driver scheduling, compliance with hours of service regulations, managing driver fatigue, and addressing driver turnover.
Toro TMS addresses these challenges with a best-in-class TMS which helps trucking companies automate load management, find the most profitable loads to carry on the most optimal route and manage fleets and drivers efficiently.
How Truckload Management Solutions work
Truckload management solutions typically involve the use of specialized software systems that automate and optimize various processes related to truckload transportation. Here's a high-level overview of how truckload management solutions work:
Manage trucking dispatch processes

Integrate with essential business systems
A TMS must have easy, configurable integrations with other essential business software to give you the flexibility and transparency you need to achieve efficiency and growth.
Integrations help automate workflows, streamline operations, and do away with tedious paperwork. They enable two-way information exchange between the TMS solution and other software for data-driven decision-making.

Faster and more accurate IFTA reporting
A TMS can integrate with fuel tracking systems or electronic logging devices (ELDs) to capture fuel consumption data automatically. It utilizes the fuel consumption data to calculate fuel tax liabilities for each jurisdiction covered by IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement). It generates IFTA reports summarizing the fuel consumed, distance traveled, and tax liabilities. The reports can be customized to meet the specific requirements of IFTA reporting.
