From Sign-Up to Shipment in Five Steps
See exactly what happens when you use FreightSimple to quote, book, track, and pay for LTL freight. No phone calls, no paperwork, no surprises.
Step 1
Create Your Account
Sign up with your email and start quoting in under two minutes. There's no credit application, no approval queue, and no minimum shipping volume. Your account is live the moment you create it.
- No credit check or financial paperwork required
- Add your pickup and delivery locations to save time on future quotes
- Invite team members so your whole shipping department can access the platform
- Works for businesses of any size, from 1 shipment a month to 100+
Step 2
Compare Quotes from 100+ Carriers
Enter your shipment details (pickup, delivery, dimensions, weight) and receive guaranteed quotes from our full carrier network in seconds. Every quote shows the carrier name, transit time, and total price. The price you see is the price you pay.
- Quotes are live and guaranteed, not estimates that change later
- See carrier names, star ratings, and estimated transit times side by side
- Filter and sort by price, speed, or carrier preference
- Save frequent lanes for one-click re-quoting
Step 3
Book and Schedule Pickup
Select your preferred carrier, choose a pickup date, and confirm. We generate the Bill of Lading, dispatch the carrier, and send you everything you need. The entire process takes under a minute.
- Bill of Lading generated automatically with the correct freight class and NMFC codes
- Carrier is dispatched and your pickup is confirmed electronically
- Add special instructions (tailgate required, inside delivery, appointment scheduling)
- Pickup notification sent to your warehouse or shipping dock contact
Step 4
Track Every Shipment, Automatically
Once your freight is picked up, our system tracks it across carrier networks automatically. You'll see status updates in your dashboard without calling anyone. If something goes wrong, we catch it first.
- Automatic tracking updates pulled from carrier systems into one dashboard
- Anomaly detection flags problems like misroutes, delays, or stalled shipments before you notice
- Proof of Delivery (POD) and Bill of Lading (BOL) retrieved automatically
- Email notifications for key milestones (picked up, in transit, out for delivery, delivered)
Step 5
We Audit the Bill Before You See It
After delivery, we audit every freight bill against your quoted price. If the carrier overcharges or adds unexpected fees, we dispute it on your behalf. You only see a clean, verified invoice.
- Every invoice is checked for billing errors, reclassifications, and unauthorized accessorials
- We handle disputes with carriers directly so you never have to
- Pay by credit card instantly, or set up bank direct debit or credit terms for larger accounts
- All invoices, BOLs, and PODs stored in your account for easy reference
What We Handle So You Don't Have To
FreightSimple does substantial work behind the scenes on every shipment. Here's what's happening while you focus on your business.
Proactive Shipment Monitoring
Most freight brokers find out about problems when you call to complain. Our system monitors every active shipment across all carrier networks continuously. When a shipment is scanned at an unexpected terminal, stalls in transit, or misses a checkpoint, we're alerted automatically. Our team intervenes before the problem reaches you.
Automatic Invoice Auditing
Freight billing is notoriously inaccurate. Carriers regularly add charges for services that weren't requested, reclassify freight to higher rates, or simply make calculation errors. We check every invoice line by line against the original quote and dispute discrepancies on your behalf. You never see an incorrect bill.
Carrier Network Management
We maintain direct integrations with over 100 LTL carriers across the US and Canada. We negotiate rates, monitor carrier performance, and route your shipments to the best option for each lane. When a carrier consistently underperforms on a route, we adjust. You just see the best available options.
