Stop re-keying tenders into the TMS
Building a load takes five to ten minutes and a rep does it dozens of times a day. The tender hits email, PDF, or EDI. Someone types stops, refs, and rates into McLeod, Aljex, or Tai. FreightScout builds the load off the tender and writes it to your TMS. No keying.

What gets extracted and written
| Source | What lands on the load |
|---|---|
| Email / PDF tender | Stops, appointments, refs, rates, accessorials |
| EDI 204 | Structured tender to structured load |
| Your rules | Written into the TMS you already run |
The load in your TMS stays the load. No second truth.
Part of the whole lifecycle, not a parser alone
Load building is one stage. The same product books the carrier to your max pay, runs check calls, and closes billing when you turn those stages on. Win, price, move, bill, keep. One login.
Supervised on live freight at a working brokerage today. Autopilot when you say so, reversible any time. 146,539 loads under management. Four lifecycle stages: Build, Cover, Track, Bill. Built by operators who scaled a brokerage into nine figures, not tourists guessing at intake.
Questions people actually ask
How do I automate freight broker load building from emails and tenders?
Connect an AI execution layer that parses email, PDF, and EDI tenders and writes stops, refs, and rates into your TMS. FreightScout builds the load off the tender with no keying, on McLeod, Aljex, or Tai, without replacing them.
Do I need a new TMS to automate load building?
No. FreightScout sits on the TMS you already pay for, reads it in place, and writes the structured load back. No rip-and-replace.
What gets extracted and written to the load?
From email/PDF tenders and EDI 204: stops, appointments, refs, rates, and accessorials, written into the TMS you already run. The load in your TMS stays the load. No second truth.
What about messy PDFs and forwarded threads?
FreightScout works off your inbox and TMS as they are. You approve. Agents do the keying. Exceptions escalate to a human.
Is FreightScout load building live today?
Yes. Load building, carrier booking, and check calls run supervised on live freight at a working brokerage today. Billing is built and gated on the customer's go. Sales work runs in production.
How does load building fit the rest of FreightScout?
It is one stage of win, price, move, bill, keep. Same product books the carrier to your max pay, runs check calls, and closes billing when you turn those stages on, one login. FreightScout cites 146,539 loads under management.
What does a coordinator still do with automated load building?
Own exceptions, relationships, and judgment. Agents handle research, data entry, and follow-ups. Autonomy is a dial: supervised first, autopilot when you say so.
Most freight software watches your business. FreightScout wins freight and then runs it.
