What OpenRoad TMS is
OpenRoad TMS is a cloud-based transportation management system for motor carriers, covering operations, loads, dispatch, accounting, safety and fuel. It is built for asset-based full-truckload carriers handling spot and dedicated freight. Its Planner supports drag-and-drop weekly scheduling, visual load assignments that show driver availability, and updates as routes change. Drivers can receive dispatched loads in the mobile app, scan and upload bills of lading and receipts, and check payroll, miles and performance statistics. Safety and compliance tools track expiration dates and hours of service. Automatic settlements calculate driver and dispatcher pay from configured rules and generate pay stubs and reports. The system stores rate confirmations, bills of lading, proof of delivery, qualification files and equipment documents in the cloud, and supports one-click invoicing after delivery. Listed integrations include QuickBooks, Sage, RTS Financial, Apex Capital, EFS, Comdata, Samsara, FourKites, Descartes MacroPoint and project44, among others. Standard pricing is $3 a month, billed monthly per billed load. A one-month free trial is offered without a credit card.
