### "Efficiency and Speed"

December 31, 2020

4.0

McLeod makes everything you need accessible at your fingertips and without this easy-to-use software, I can only imagine my job as a Logistics Manager being more difficult. As I said, over time if you realize you need one more button to make things easier, they can add it. With all the stress involved in my profession, McLeod LoadMaster eliminates some of that stress.

Pros

This is a program that I use on a daily basis and I've grown to love it. It makes everything that I need in my logistics field accessible, efficient, and fast. In the world of logistics and sales, speed is everything. With their programming and customizable button format, if you find something that could be made easier, they can add it and in a great easy to use format. You rarely have a time when McLeod is completely not operational and when it is, the McLeod team acts fast to get it fixed.

Cons

When you are running a lot of reports or one large report, sometimes it can make the program crash or lag. At times, it can even freeze. This usually doesn't last for long periods of time, but when it does. It can be at the worst possible moment.

### "Too many nuances about McLeod that I really don't like. "

April 29, 2018

3.0

Pros

This software is great for asset management and keeping an employee database. The accounting functions work well after you become comfortable with McLeod. And there are many, many reports you can run with the stored data.

Cons

I really don't have anything nice to say about this software as an operations/transportation tool. It creates empty moves and therefore disrupts the integrity of your data. It needs to be customized for your specific situation, and I don't believe that is currently an option.

### "Its the Total Package!"

November 21, 2024

5.0

Our company has a great support and sales team assigned to our account they are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive.

Pros

It is one of the most all-encompassing TMS systems for transportation companies today. It allows you to keep accounting, safety, operations, customers, vendors, and assets records all in one place. There are multiple integration partners available for customers to work with and has a wide variety of API offerings as well.

Cons

It can be a very intimidating software option for those not familiar with it, and companies must have a trained key user for help desk support.

### "McLeod - very efficient system "

October 10, 2023

5.0

My overall experience has been positive. I basically do everything I need in the same system.

Pros

LoadMaster is a huge system we use. With it, you can run all kinds of reports from booking the loads to the employees' database.

Cons

Takes so much effort to integrate and customize. It can be difficult for beginners. Also, the system looks old like Windows 98. I wish they could change the appearance a bit.

### "LoadMaster - McLeod Review"

May 15, 2023

4.0

Overall my experience using this software was positive

Pros

I like how much information can be stored within this software. I also like how you can customize the view of the software by building infinite board views.

Cons

This is not a userfriendly software, it took me over a month to understand. Though there are so many helpful features, the features are hard to find and there is tons of useful data that gets hidden.

### "Run Away!"

July 8, 2020

2.0

Terrible

Pros

McLeod is very powerful with lots of features.

Cons

Design, ease of use, features being available, ...the list could go on forever. Customer Service and training is a joke. Need help? You call, get billed for it, and the person you talk to has no idea what they are doing either.

Reason for choosing LoadMaster

Who knows? Stupidity maybe?

Cons

Some process are too complicated, when it could be easier.

### "It has a lot of features but the quality and ease of use is not good enough to back it up."

December 6, 2017

1.0

Pros

It has many features. Probably everything a transportation/brokerage would need, but it does it doesn't do it very well.

Cons

Very bad quality. The interface seemed very outdated. It was very difficult to use or even learning. Vendor charges you for everything it can. Overall very bad experience.

### "Once I worked with it continuously, it got easier to navigate the software for what I needed"

May 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

You can pretty much run any report you need, from tractors and trailers dispatched to employee anniversaries and birthdays.

Cons

Tough to figure out at first, there is so much information that at first it can be overwhelming to find what you're searching for.

### "Mail Chimp"

February 1, 2018

3.0

Pros

I like the ease of importing the mailing list and being able to dulplicate previous campaigns. The that that it is free for some mailings in also a bonus.

Cons

It is easy to access and the standard designs are limited in versitility. You can't make changes easily or delete parts you don't want iike the gray space for the header. I spent most of the day today working in Mail Chimp and the look of my mailing on the edit side was different from the preview side. It was inonvenient because I had to keep copying and pasting my work into Microsoft Word in order to make some of the revisions. Then I had to do additional revisions when copying the document back into the Mail Chimp email.

### "Expensive startup costs but long term value"

February 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

It does everything that you could want it to do for a TMS system. The software is scalable and able to fit any size business and their needs. You can custom tailor the software and pick and choose what it is you want. The Driver Branded App is also a great tool to safe on time and costs with your drivers.

Cons

It is very very expensive. This can actually be quite cost prohibitive to smaller companies, but if you can understand that in terms of overall long term investments, this is worth it in the end.

### "EASY TO USE"

April 16, 2018

5.0

EASIER TO TRACK INFORMATION FLOW AND KEEP EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE

Pros

USER FRIENDLY , EASY TO GET USED TO AND HELPFUL IN EVERYDAY WORK. I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING THIS PRODUCT.

Cons

IT IS QUITE PRICEY , BUT WORTH IT, HOWEVER, I DONT LIKE THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMPORT CERTAIN DATA AUTOMATICALLY FROM FMCSA DUE TO UPPER AND LOWER CASE, DASH, COMAS ETC

### "Average"

October 17, 2018

2.0

Easy to learn how to navigate

Pros

The software offers double posting for transactions. You can easily search for posted transactions. If the deposit total doesn't match, after all the invoice payments are applied, the deposit posting will not be completed. Sticky buttons, and does not need to take up my entire computer screen.

Cons

If I search for a transaction that is entered but not yet posted, it will not show up in my search. It doesn't allow an easy way to make a "cash receipt." A cash receipt has to be entered for each customer individually before you can finish and post the deposit.
