One Connected OperationDispatch through accounting
Stop managing around your software
Trucking problems don't happen in neat, point-to-point loads.
A TMS should reduce operational friction, not force your team into workarounds. VanGuard TMS is designed around the problems that cost trucking companies time, money and control.
01 / OPERATIONS
A truck changes mid-load.
Breakdowns, round trips and planned relays should not require dispatch to rebuild the entire load.
02 / CASH FLOW
The freight moved. The invoice didn't.
Missing PODs, forgotten charges and disconnected workflows can keep revenue waiting long after the work is done.
03 / OFFICE WORK
Everyone is re-entering the same information.
Dispatch, billing, settlements and accounting should share a workflow instead of creating duplicate work.
04 / OWNER CONTROL
You shouldn't have to chase people for answers.
Load status, documents, invoices, settlements and operational details belong in one visible system.
Built for the border. Powerful everywhere.
A load can change trucks, drivers, trailers and responsibilities as it moves from origin to destination.

LEG 2Cross-border without the workaround
Manage the load by the way it actually moves.
Generic TMS software often assumes one truck, one driver and one simple route. VanGuard TMS gives cross-border and multi-leg operations the flexibility to manage the moving pieces without losing the complete load picture.
✓
Multi-leg load managementManage trucks, trailers and drivers by leg while keeping the shipment together as one operational workflow.
✓
Quick RelayCreate the additional movement needed when another truck must take over—whether it is planned, part of a round trip, or required for breakdown recovery—and continue the load from where it was left off.
✓
Pay by completed jobHandle driver compensation for completed work without forcing the entire load to be closed first.
✓

A small feature with a huge operational impact
Quick Relay: when the truck changes, the load keeps moving.
A relay is the operational movement created when another truck must take over a load. The replacement truck may need to travel from its current location to where the load was left, then continue the shipment from that point. VanGuard TMS makes that sequence easy to add without rebuilding the original load.

From dispatch to deposit
One TMS. More control over the entire operation.
VanGuard TMS connects the workflows that trucking companies usually spread across calls, texts, spreadsheets, folders and separate software.
Tracking & Driver Updates
Combine manual updates, driver communication and GPS integrations to keep your team—and your customers—better informed.
Documents & POD Control
Keep rate confirmations, PODs, receipts and load documents tied to the operation so billing is not waiting on missing paperwork.
Fast Invoicing
Create accurate customer invoices without waiting for every operational detail to close. Review charges sooner and move billing forward faster.
Driver & Carrier Settlements
Organize earnings, reimbursable expenses and compensation rules in the same system that already knows what work was completed.
Factoring Workflow
Send invoices and required supporting documents to factoring providers with less manual packaging and fewer missing-file delays.
QuickBooks Integration
Connect operational and accounting workflows to reduce duplicate entry and keep customer, invoice, vendor and payment data moving.
Fuel, IFTA & Fleet Data
Bring fuel-card activity and fleet information into the TMS, with reporting that helps simplify fuel-tax and operating visibility.
Maintenance & Inventory
Track repair activity, purchase orders, parts usage and inventory so equipment costs are easier to manage and understand.
The workflow matters more than the feature list
Move the information with the freight.
The same load data should help dispatch, tracking, billing, settlements and accounting—without forcing each department to start over.
