Freight shipping software

Freight shipping software that runs the whole desk at $0

Freight shipping software quotes, books, tracks, and audits your freight in one place. Everywhere else it costs $60 to $200 a month for a small team, or a sales call to find out. Warp TMS does the whole job at $0, with no seat limits and no load caps, because Warp earns freight revenue when its rate wins a lane you choose to book.

How much does freight management software cost?

Freight management software runs $99 to $500 per month for small shipper teams, and enterprise platforms publish sharper numbers: Turvo lists a $5,000 per month Core plan and Rose Rocket TMS.ai starts at $2,080 per month (as of August 2026). Implementations commonly add $5,000 to $15,000 over one to two months. Warp TMS is $0 with no seat limits or load caps, because Warp earns freight revenue when its rate wins a lane, not software fees.

Is there free freight management software?

Yes. Warp TMS is free freight management software for shippers: instant LTL and FTL quotes beside your own contracted carriers, booking, tracking, freight invoice audit against the quote, batch quoting, and reports with XLSX and CSV export, all at $0. The Actually Free TMS Test on the pricing page publishes the five checks and the sourced figures behind them.

What is the difference between freight management software and a TMS?

They name the same category. TMS, short for transportation management system, is the industry term; freight management software or freight management system is the plain English name buyers use. Both mean software that quotes, books, tracks, audits, and reports on freight. Warp TMS answers to both names at $0 for shipper teams.

What is freight management software?

Freight management software is the plain name buyers use for the same category as freight shipping software: a system that quotes LTL and FTL rates, books the load, tracks it, and audits the carrier invoice against the quote. Searches for freight software, freight shipping software, and freight management software all describe this one desk. Warp TMS is free freight management software for shippers at $0, with no seat limits or load caps, and it prices a lane in about 10 seconds.

Is there free freight shipping software?

Yes, two kinds. MyCarrier publishes a Basic plan at $0 capped at 1 user, 2 locations, 10 AI assisted quotes per month, and 14 days of history (as of September 2026). Warp TMS is free at every team size: unlimited seats, unlimited loads, instant LTL and FTL quotes beside your own carriers, booking, tracking, invoice audit, and reports, with no trial clock. Warp earns freight revenue when its rate wins a lane you choose to book, which is why the software carries no fee.

What is the difference between freight shipping software and parcel shipping software?

Freight shipping software moves pallets and truckloads: it quotes LTL and FTL carriers, books the load, tracks it, and audits the invoice. Parcel shipping software such as ShipStation or Pirate Ship prints labels for boxes under about 150 pounds through USPS, UPS, and FedEx. A brand that ships both usually runs both. Warp TMS covers the freight side at $0; parcel stays in the parcel stack.

Frequently asked questions

Can freight shipping software work with carriers I already use?

Yes. Warp TMS ingests your contracted rate cards with human approval, quotes them beside Warp's bookable rate and marketplace carriers, and books whichever wins under your routing policy.

Freight you tender to your own carriers tracks and audits on the same boards.

What does free freight shipping software leave out?

The honest gaps in Warp TMS: no EDI, no ERP connectors, no parcel booking, and orders run one pickup to one dropoff.

Those are paid enterprise platform features, and most shipper freight desks never touch them. If a trading partner mandates EDI, a paid platform is the right call and we say so.

How fast can a team move onto Warp TMS?

The same afternoon. Signup is self serve, orders import by CSV or paste, and carriers register in the app.

Typical paid implementations in this category run $5,000 to $15,000 over one to two months (as of August 2026); the switching guide covers the data to bring and the sequence that works.

About the Warp freight network

More about the Warp freight network
70+cross-dock facilities
6,800+Warp LTL lanes
14,000+vans & box trucks
24,000+vetted FTL carriers

Warp is the open source freight network: the tech is free and the network is open. We run Warp LTL, our own carrier, Warp FTL, cargo van, box truck and fulfillment ourselves, with every major LTL carrier, parcel, ocean, air and drayage plugged in beside them. Our driver app rides on every truck and our warehouse app runs every cross-dock, so an open network of 38,000+ carriers behaves like one carrier you control. Warp is licensed by the FMCSA as a property broker and freight forwarder, and runs the network itself: instant rates, live tracking, 70+ cross-dock facilities, 14,000+ cargo vans and box trucks, 80%+ US LTL zip-to-zip coverage and nationwide FTL, box truck and cargo van.

The network is supported by 24,000+ vetted FTL carriers.

Unlike traditional brokers, Warp uses AI to match the right vehicle to every load based on weight, dimensions, urgency, and cost targets. Cross-dock operations reduce transit time by eliminating unnecessary terminal transfers.

Pool distribution and zone-skipping programs help enterprise shippers lower per-unit delivery costs while maintaining tight appointment windows.

Self-serve shippers can quote, compare, and book freight online in under two minutes. Enterprise accounts get dedicated capacity planning, committed rate programs, and a named operations team. Every shipment includes scan-level visibility from pickup through final delivery.

Warp operates across the contiguous United States with regional density in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, and Northeast corridors, and West Coast and Southwest coverage from Los Angeles, Seattle and Phoenix.

Warp operates 70+ cross-dock facilities across the US, with named markets including Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, New York, Savannah, Orlando, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Columbus, Denver, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Dallas-Fort Worth, Nashville, Phoenix, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Los Angeles. They support faster transfers and fewer touches on recurring lanes.

Freight modes and vehicle types

ModeMax payloadMax cubeBest for
Cargo van3,500 lbs400 cu ftTime-sensitive, last-mile, light pallets
Box truck10,000 lbs1,500 cu ftRegional distribution, no dock required
LTLPer-palletShared trailerLower per-pallet cost via cross-dock routing
Dry van / FTL42,000+ lbsFull 53-ft trailerHigh-volume lanes, recurring programs

Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 400 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight.

Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,500 cubic feet, fitting most regional distribution and store delivery needs without requiring a loading dock.

Dry vans and full truckloads move 42,000+ pounds for high-volume lanes and recurring programs. LTL shipments share trailer space on optimized routes through Warp cross-docks, reducing per-pallet cost by consolidating multiple shippers on the same vehicle.

Warp does not default every shipment to a 53-foot trailer. The AI engine evaluates load weight, cube, delivery window, and cost to recommend the right vehicle. Shippers see all available mode options with live pricing in one comparison screen before booking.

Cross-dock operations

Cross-docking at Warp facilities keeps freight moving instead of storing it: inbound freight is sorted and transferred directly to outbound vehicles, typically within hours. When inventory does need to sit, Warp's fulfillment centers in Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and New Jersey hold it inside the same network, with same day delivery within 30 miles of each.

This reduces dwell time, lowers damage risk, and compresses delivery windows. Warp cross-docks support pallet-in, pallet-out operations with scan-level tracking at every handoff point.

  • Atlanta — Southeast retail flow
  • Chicago — Midwest manufacturing and replenishment
  • Houston — Texas industrial distribution
  • New York — dense Northeast delivery

Facility locations are selected for corridor density: Atlanta handles Southeast retail flow, Chicago serves Midwest manufacturing and replenishment, Houston covers Texas industrial distribution, and New York supports dense Northeast delivery. Each facility operates on appointment-based scheduling to prevent congestion and maintain throughput consistency.

Enterprise freight programs

Enterprise shippers get committed rate programs, dedicated account management, and custom SLA design. Warp builds lane-by-lane rate structures that account for volume commitments, seasonal variation, and mode flexibility. Operations teams monitor shipment execution daily and intervene proactively when exceptions occur.

Self-serve freight quoting

Shippers enter origin and destination, load details, and delivery requirements to see live rates across all available modes. Quotes include estimated transit time, vehicle type, and total cost.

Booking takes one click. After booking, shippers track every shipment with real-time GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery documentation.

Industries and use cases

Retail shippers use Warp for store replenishment programs that deliver to hundreds of locations per week on tight appointment windows. Apparel brands use zone skipping to bypass regional parcel sortation and reduce per-unit delivery cost.

Food and beverage companies rely on time-definite delivery for perishable goods. Manufacturing operations use Warp for inbound vendor consolidation, combining multiple supplier shipments into fewer, fuller loads through cross-dock facilities.

Distribution companies use pool distribution to serve multiple delivery points from a single origin, splitting full truckloads at cross-docks into smaller last-mile vehicles.

Urgent freight recovery covers emergency capacity needs when primary carriers fail or demand spikes unexpectedly. Middle-mile optimization reduces cost and transit time on the longest segment of multi-leg shipments.
