# An AI TMS that runs the load from quote to settlement. > An AI TMS that carries one load record from quote to settlement, drafts the routine work at every step, and runs beside the TMS you already have. URL: https://roadmark.ai/tms Language: en Roadmark carries one load record from the first quote to the last settlement line. Agents draft the routine steps (the quote, the plan, the ETA update, the invoice), and your team approves the ones that need a person. ## Load 48213 from the first quote to the driver's pay. What happened, when, and who did it: an agent's draft in Pencil, a person's approval in ink, or an event that just happened on its own. 1. **Quote** (Mon 08:14): Quoting agent drafts $4,215.00 USD from the lane history. *J. Park approved.* 2. **Order** (Mon 09:02): Prairie Foods books the load from the approved quote. *Customer portal.* 3. **Plan** (Mon 16:40): Planning agent assigns TRL 5317 and R. Diaz to the run. *K. Wong approved.* 4. **Dispatch** (Tue 05:50): The approved plan goes straight to the driver's phone. *Driver app.* 5. **Track** (Tue 11:32): Tracking agent drafts a delay update after I-94 slows the truck. *J. Park approved.* 6. **Deliver** (Tue 18:00): POD captured at door 22; 1 h 20 m of detention recorded. *D. Kowalski signed.* 7. **Invoice** (Tue 18:15): Billing agent drafts INV-10442 at $4,315.00 USD from the POD. *J. Park approved.* 8. **Settle** (Fri 09:00): R. Diaz's pay line, $456.11 CAD, is calculated from the ELD miles. *K. Wong approved.* ## Every load carries its own record, end to end. Not a spreadsheet, an inbox thread and a phone call: one record with the stops, the equipment, the rate on both sides, every document and every change, from the first quote to the settled pay line. ## Every mode runs on the same load record and the same rules. Roadmark doesn't swap in a different tool per mode. It's the same load record, the same approvals and the same billing, whichever way the freight moves. - **Truckload:** Hours, deadhead and backhauls on one board. - **LTL:** Pallets, freight class and linehaul schedules. - **Flatbed and oversize:** Tarps, permits, securement and oversize routes. - **Reefer:** Set points, temperature records, pre-cooling and multi-temp loads. - **Drayage:** Free time, per diem, chassis and port appointments. - **Intermodal:** Ramps, rail cutoffs and the dray at both ends. - **Cross-dock:** What's on the floor, and which truck to build next. - **Final mile:** Delivery windows, photos, signatures and returns. - **Cross-border:** PARS and PAPS numbers, customs brokers and border waits. - **Warehouse and 3PL:** Receiving, storage and outbound, billed by the pallet. - **Air freight:** Air waybills, flight cutoffs and airport recovery. - **Ocean freight:** Containers, vessel cutoffs, demurrage and detention. - **Rail and transload:** Car orders, railcar tracking and car hire. ## How Roadmark compares with older TMSs and AI add-on tools. Older systems need every field typed. AI add-on tools sit on top of them and answer questions, but they don't touch the load record. Roadmark drafts the record itself. | | Older TMS | AI add-on tools | Roadmark | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Drafts the routine work | Every field is typed by a person. | Drafts a reply or a summary, not the load record. | Quotes, plans, updates and invoices are drafted for a person to approve. | | Shows its reasons | There's nothing to explain; a person decided. | General reasoning, not tied to your loads or your rates. | Every draft shows the numbers and the rule it used. | | Runs every mode | Most cover truckload and LTL well; the rest are a workaround. | Follows whatever the TMS underneath already supports. | Truckload through ocean, air and rail, on one record. | | Runs several companies | Usually one company per instance, licensed separately. | Inherits whatever the underlying TMS allows. | A group's companies and divisions in one system, with separate books. | | Runs beside your current TMS | It is the current TMS. | That's what it's built to do. | One job at a time; orders still land in your TMS. | | Works in your AI assistant | No assistant connection. | Usually one assistant, not all of them. | Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, through MCP. | | Works when the AI is down | There's no AI to go down. | The tool is the AI; without it, there's no product. | Every screen runs without an agent. Drafts pause; work goes on. | ## Move over one company or lane at a time. Every company's migration is different, so treat the durations below as an example plan, not a promise for yours. 1. **Import customers, carriers, lanes and rates.** From your current TMS, a spreadsheet, or both. We map the fields with you. (a day or two) 2. **Connect ELD, email and accounting.** We do the setup with you; a couple may need your IT team. (within a week) 3. **Run beside your old TMS on live loads.** Start with one job (quoting or tracking is common) while dispatch stays where it is. (two to four weeks) 4. **Move over company by company.** A lane, a division or a company at a time, on your schedule, or not at all. (as you're ready) ## Before you book a call. ### How long does implementation take? Running one job beside your current TMS is the quicker start, and most of the work is connecting your ELD, email and accounting. Moving Roadmark in as your TMS is a longer, company-by-company rollout that you control. ### How do you migrate our data? We import customers, carriers, lanes and rates from your current system or a spreadsheet, and map the fields with you before anything goes live. Your old system stays readable for history. ### How much training does our team need? Most people start on the job they already do (quoting, dispatch or billing) and pick it up in a session or two. Drafts are there to check, not a new workflow to learn from scratch. ### How is pricing worked out? Roadmark starts from $499 USD/month with unlimited users. Start with one workflow beside your current TMS and confirm the setup and price with our team. ### What happens if the AI is down? Every screen in Roadmark works without an agent. If a draft can't be produced, the step waits for a person to do it directly, the way it would in any TMS. ### What does Roadmark integrate with? ELDs, EDI, load boards, accounting systems, email and calendars, plus an open API with webhooks and an MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and any other assistant that supports MCP. ### Does Roadmark cover fleet work like IFTA and maintenance? Yes. Roadmark produces IFTA fuel tax reports and keeps each truck and trailer's maintenance schedule and service records, next to dispatch and driver pay. ### We run several companies. Does that change anything? Each company keeps its own customers, rates and books. A person with group access can compare companies; everyone else sees only the company they work in. ### What do the contract terms look like? Month to month with 30 days' notice, or annual, prepaid, with 2 months free. Your first job is free for 30 days, and when you leave you get a full export of your data in open formats. ## Related pages - [Roadmark AI agents](https://roadmark.ai/ai-agents): Specialized agents for quoting, planning and more - [Integrations](https://roadmark.ai/integrations): ELD, EDI, load boards and accounting - [Switching from McLeod or TMW](https://roadmark.ai/switching): Start beside it, move when you choose - [Compare](https://roadmark.ai/compare): Roadmark side by side with other TMSs - [Pricing](https://roadmark.ai/pricing): Three packages, priced by what you run - [Canadian TMS](https://roadmark.ai/canadian-tms): Canadian and cross-border freight workflows, with simple pricing and unlimited users Companies, people and shipment figures in product examples are fictional.
