01 / Quote
TodayRates pulled from three carrier websites, a spreadsheet of last quarter's lanes and someone's memory. Fifteen minutes per quote, longer if the rep who knows the lane is out.
With StreamlinePriced in seconds. One lane entry rates LTL across your direct carrier accounts and aggregator feeds at your negotiated discounts, with guaranteed-delivery options alongside standard, your margin applied and every quote logged — won or lost. Rate-request emails can become quotes without retyping.
02 / Book
TodayThe rate goes stale between quoting and booking, and nobody notices the margin quietly went underwater.
With StreamlineRe-priced at booking. A portal booking is re-priced with the carrier at the moment of booking and refused below your margin floor — enforced server-side, not just displayed. Credit limits are checked before the load exists: going over one takes an admin override, not a discovery at invoicing.
03 / Vet
TodayAuthority and insurance checked at onboarding, then rarely again. Problems surface after the freight is already on the truck.
With StreamlineA gate, not a checklist. FMCSA authority and out-of-service status block tenders automatically. An expired insurance certificate stops a truckload tender until a current one is on file. The carrier's contracts, W-9s and certificates live on the carrier record with expiry warnings.
04 / Dispatch
TodayBooked in your system, then re-entered on the carrier's website. Sometimes the second half doesn't happen — and nobody knows until the dock calls.
With StreamlineThe carrier is told automatically. Aggregator loads book by API with the carrier's own BOL and pickup numbers written back. Connected LTL carriers get the rate confirmation; truckload carriers sign an acceptance link before paperwork is released. A load the carrier hasn't confirmed says so, on the load and on the dashboard.
05 / Track
TodayAn afternoon of check calls, and a shipper who finds out the truck is late before you do.
With StreamlineThe record advances itself. Carrier tracking feeds update status and fill in PRO numbers as they're assigned. For truckload, drivers check in from a link — no app to install — with GPS stamped on every event. Your customer gets notified as status changes, automatically.
06 / Documents
TodayA BOL typed from the same details a third time, with the wrong bill-to — and a carrier invoicing your shipper at tariff rates.
With StreamlineGenerated, correct, delivered. BOL, labels, confirmations and invoices render from the load record. Third-party billing is printed correctly for aggregator freight so rebills don't happen. Each location remembers who gets the paperwork — the dock, the shipping office — and it's emailed at booking.
07 / Invoice & measure
TodayA Friday batch built by hand, and margin per load known sometime the following month.
With StreamlineClosed and measured. Invoices build from the load with your remit-to and terms, and sync to QuickBooks. Net margin by load, customer and carrier is live from the moment of booking — client reports and carrier scorecards are a click, not a spreadsheet project.
