LTL software
Rate every LTL shipment by density and shop it across carriers in one pass.
Roadmark computes cube and density straight from the pallets, gets the freight class, and shops your LTL carriers on the real number, whether you're the carrier running the linehaul or the broker booking it.

Questions
Questions before you rate a shipment.
How does Roadmark work out freight class?
It computes each pallet's cube from its dimensions, divides the weight by that cube to get density in pounds per cubic foot, and reads off the class from the NMFC's density scale, the same number the freight class calculator shows.
How does Roadmark handle reweighs?
When a carrier's dock reweighs and re-measures a shipment booked at the wrong class, Roadmark's billing agent drafts the corrected invoice at the new density and class, with the reweigh certificate and dock photo attached.
Can Roadmark rate-shop my LTL carriers?
Yes. It computes cube and density straight from the pallets, gets the freight class, and shops your carriers on that real number in one pass, whether you're the carrier running the linehaul or the broker booking it.
Does Roadmark audit LTL carrier invoices?
Yes. Roadmark rates each shipment across several LTL carriers at once, then audits the carrier's invoice against the rate the shipment was booked at. An invoice that doesn't match is held for a person, the same as any carrier bill that doesn't match its rate con.
How are LTL accessorials billed?
Each one, liftgate, residential, inside delivery, limited access, appointment or notify, traces back to a photo or timestamp captured on the driver's phone or set at booking, not a line someone remembers to add.
Can Roadmark run beside our current TMS?
Yes. Rate and rate-shop from Roadmark while dispatch, linehaul and billing stay where they are today, and add the rest of the terminal when you're ready.
Thirteen modes, one platform.
Every mode runs on the same customers, loads and invoices, so a company that runs more than one sees them together.
Bring a day of shipments. We'll rate and shop them live.
Send us a day of pallet counts and dimensions. In the call, you'll see the class, density and rate shop Roadmark would have produced for each one.
