Create
Build shipments from saved locations, recurring lanes, milk runs, imports, documents, email, and AI-assisted workflows.
CarrierTool for Shippers
Source freight directly. Automate the workflow. Let FreightIQ make every shipment smarter.
CarrierTool gives manufacturers, distributors, retailers, importers, and private logistics teams a complete transportation operating system for creating shipments, finding qualified capacity, comparing rates, executing freight, collecting evidence, and measuring cost and service.
The Shipper Direct model
Your freight. Your carrier relationships. Your data.
CarrierTool is designed to let shippers work directly with carriers while still giving the transportation team the sourcing, compliance, execution, document, and intelligence layer normally associated with much larger logistics organizations.
Private carrier network
CarrierTool Verified
FreightIQ rate intelligence
Automated shipment workflows
Driver evidence collection
Full transportation history
One workflow from order to delivery
Reduce repetitive shipping work before you ever compare a rate.
Transportation cost is not only the carrier rate. It is also the labor spent rebuilding shipments, emailing the same lane details, chasing carrier responses, checking compliance, re-keying documents, tracking exceptions, and reconciling invoices. CarrierTool is built to automate that operating work as well as improve the freight-buying decision.
2
Source
Start with your own carrier network, expand to CarrierTool Verified carriers, and search the National Carrier Registry when additional capacity is needed.
3
Compare
Normalize quotes so linehaul, fuel, all-in price, availability, compliance, and service history can be evaluated together.
4
Tender
Award and tender freight directly to the selected carrier while preserving the complete sourcing and decision record.
5
Execute
Track milestones, stops, appointments, exceptions, driver activity, and required shipment evidence from pickup through delivery.
6
Learn
Feed actual rates, service outcomes, exceptions, lanes, and carrier performance back into FreightIQ for better future decisions.
FreightIQ™ for Shippers
Turn every completed shipment into better transportation intelligence.
FreightIQ brings together lane history, carrier quotes, awarded rates, actual cost, carrier compliance, service performance, tracking events, exceptions, documents, and operational outcomes. The goal is not simply another dashboard — it is to continuously improve how the next shipment is sourced and executed.

Freight spend: better carrier selection, lane visibility, quote normalization, and historical rate context.
Workflow spend: fewer manual touches from shipment creation through carrier payment and reporting.

Bring us a real lane
We will demonstrate CarrierTool around your actual shipping workflow.
Show us a recurring lane, milk run, difficult capacity market, current carrier list, or manual workflow. We will walk through how CarrierTool would create, source, compare, tender, execute, document, and analyze that freight.
