Upways Freight is the TMS your office runs loads in.
Upways reads the rate confirmation and fills the load: broker, MC, every stop with its window, rate and miles. Anything it could not read is marked for you. You check the load before it is saved, or let it save on its own and review it after.
What it saves youTyping a rate con into a form, stop by stop.
Drop a spreadsheet or your current system's export. Every column is matched for you, and nothing is saved until you press Import. Drivers, trucks and customers come in the same way.
What it saves youRetyping your business to switch.
The week on one board. Drag a load onto a driver to assign it; To assign holds what still needs a truck.
What it saves youClicking through a form to assign a load, and a second screen to see who is free.
Stops, documents, the chat with the driver, the history and the money of a load, without scrolling sideways.
What it saves youHunting through tabs while a broker waits on the phone.
His loads in the Upways app: each stop in order with its window, one button for the next step, Navigate, the detention clock, and the BOL and POD snapped right at the dock.
What it saves you"What's next?" calls, and paperwork that shows up a week late.
The routine work runs itself: check ins with drivers, broker updates, POD reminders, rate cons turning into loads, and alerts when a truck is late, stopped, slow at a dock or a load has no driver. Each job is its own switch, and everything it did is a line in the load's history.
What it saves youHours a day of check in calls, POD chasing and watching dots on a map.
How late a truck is comes from one place, so the board, the map, Live and the office phone all say the same thing. If the truck is in a roadside repair, the arrival time counts the repair.
What it saves youTwo screens arguing about how late a truck is.
Every truck on one live map from the driver app, with ETAs. Share a tracking link with the broker: pickup and delivery, each stop's status and the truck's rough position. The link never shows the rate, the driver's name or phone, or addresses. It ends 7 days after delivery and you can turn it off any time.
What it saves youThe broker's "where is my load?" calls.

Ends 7 days after delivery
Invoice when the POD is in, email it to the broker, or send the factoring packet in one press. Collections shows who is late.
What it saves youDays between delivery and the invoice, and money that sits unbilled.
Set a pay rate on the driver once. Weekly statements make themselves: To review, Approved, Sent, Paid. An approved statement stays as it was; a fix goes on the next one.
What it saves youPayroll night with a calculator and a stack of rate cons.

What it saves youFinding out at tax time which lanes lost money.
Ask about your loads, drivers and money in plain words. Uppy can also add a driver from a CDL photo, add a truck or bring in a spreadsheet for you. Uppy can only do what you yourself are allowed to do, and every change it makes has an Undo.
Chats with each driver and groups, with the load or rescue they are about.
Maintenance, truck inspections, IFTA and MPG, documents with due dates, and hiring with an apply link. Add a driver from a photo of his CDL.
Every customer with their loads, invoices and how fast they pay.
| The job | An older TMS | Upways |
|---|---|---|
| Enter a load | Type the rate con into a form. | Drop the PDF. The load fills itself and you check it. |
| Give it to a driver | Pick a name from a list on the load form. | Drag the load onto his week. |
| The driver's side | Often calls, texts and photos sent to someone's phone. | His loads, stops, navigation and papers in the Upways app. |
| Check ins and PODs | A dispatcher calls and chases. | Autopilot asks, reminds and alerts. Each job is a switch. |
| AI | Usually not built in. | Rate cons read for you, Autopilot and an assistant, all with you in charge. |
| Pay and profit | Often exported to a spreadsheet and added up by hand. | Statements and profit from the loads you already entered. |
| Getting started | Often a setup fee, training calls and a yearly contract. | No setup fee, month to month, your data imported from a spreadsheet. |

Yes. Import drivers, trucks, customers and loads from a spreadsheet or your current system's export. You review every column before anything is saved.
A driver on the road in your company. Owners, dispatchers and office staff are free. The more trucks you have, the lower the price per truck.
Not unless you tell it to. The AI agents are off until the company owner turns them on, and Review first is the default, so every email waits for your Send. They keep to your limits, never go below your floor price, and stop and ask you when anything looks unusual.
