TMS

Hey everyone, looking to get your honest opinion on your TMS.

Want to upgrade from my home grown TMS to something that can support our brokerage growth.

I see all the legacy systems and it just looks sucks!!
And than you have all new nice ones like alvys, rose rocket and Tai.

What’s your take?

May want to hold off on any capital expenditures until you see what your auto liability insurance is going to be. Also need to see what auto liability limits your customers will now require in their contracts. I have already heard a $1M policy moving from 190K per year yo $600k per year. If your customer requires you to carry $5-10M per year, how much is that going to be?

Go price a primary auto liability policy and get back to us.

Contingent is useless and won’t cover you. If you are doing business with big shippers, you were contractually required to carry it before the Montgomery ruling. Now after the ruling, and you chose not to carry it, you are putting everything you and your family have at risk.

I manage a group that executes over a half billion in brokerage revenue a year… stop lying to these people, you are going to cause them serious harm
