FreightBoard vs. Truckstop TMS
Truckstop built its TMS around the load board. FreightBoard is the Truckstop alternative built around the consolidator's workflow — multi-leg splits, per-leg P&L, and dispatch decisions that don't require 6 open tabs.
The real difference
Truckstop TMS makes sense if you live inside the Truckstop load board and run simple point-to-point loads. But consolidators who split loads across assets, brokered carriers, and final-mile legs need a TMS where multi-leg splits, per-leg P&L, and remainder-pallet marketplaces are native — not bolted on. FreightBoard also works with DAT, Sylectus, or any load board you prefer.

Love your load board. Upgrade your TMS.
FreightBoard doesn't replace Truckstop or DAT — it replaces the spreadsheet you use after you find the load. Keep your load board. Ditch the copy-paste.
