LaneRunner
LaneRunner is a freight platform for shippers, brokers, and carriers to source capacity, compare quotes, and manage shipments from award through delivery. Shippers can form private broker networks and choose to post freight privately, on the open marketplace, or in both places. Quote comparisons show low, average, and high amounts. ATLAS AI supports voice load posting and rate insights, and bulk uploads can include up to 100 loads. A load can have up to five pickups and five drops. Shipment details, dispatch, documents, tracking, and messaging stay connected to each load. LaneRunner says it checks motor carriers against FMCSA records and reviews shipper documents and broker credentials. Its API can post loads, retrieve quotes, and synchronize shipment status with TMS, ERP, and internal tools; access is arranged through support. LaneRunner is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Shipper Free Access costs nothing. Broker Load Board costs $59.99 a month; Broker Full Access and Carrier Full Access each cost $99.99 a month. The subscription policy says there is no free trial unless the company offers one in writing.
