For Brokers
Run your brokerage P&L on top of the dock you already control.
Dock Optimizer Pro TMS adds margin tracking, lane analytics, and fleet utilization to the free scheduling and load board core. Cover a load with your own truck or broker it out — either way, the dock appointment is already there and the margin is already visible.
The problem
Two systems. Double entry. Lost margin.
Most brokerages run a TMS for loads and a separate dock scheduling tool — or no dock tool at all. Every load booked in the TMS has to be re-entered in scheduling. Every appointment exception has to be reconciled back. The seam between the two systems is where data leaks and margin disappears.
- Double entry between TMS and dock scheduling
- Carrier costs and customer rates in separate tools
- No single view of margin per load or per lane
- Dock exceptions don't flow back to load records
The fix
Cover it or broker it — decide after the dock is booked.
In Dock Optimizer, the dock appointment is the load record. When you post a load, the dock slot is reserved. You decide to cover it with your own truck or broker it to a carrier — the appointment stays, the margin is tracked either way.
- Dock appointment IS the load record — one system
- Cover internally or post to carriers from the same screen
- Customer rate vs. carrier cost per load, in real time
- Lane-level margin trends without exporting to spreadsheets
