Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Trust this user" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 10, 2023 I have been a user of this companies suite of programs for 24 years. This new version Load Plus is great. Creating more synergies with outside programs, more automation and reporting. I have been an admin user for 12 of those years as well. It's a great program and I have viewed others. They don't provide much more, and their pricing and lack of accounting keeps Load Plus a front runner of great TMS's to use in my business. Pros I like the ease in the ability to use it. You can handle any type of logistical business with this platform. You can handle any volume of business with this platform. Load plus is continually improving the product as well. The development team is very open to outside vendors as well with their API's. Mainly as an owner, the fact that I could in theory have one single platform to sign into and run my company is priceless. Cons The only thing I would say negative is that all this detail comes at a price. Lot's of fields. While the vast majority of the fields are not required entry fields, there are still a lot you may never use. However, a small price to pay to know you can and they exist should your business pivot. Reasons for choosing LOADPlus Price and the ability to have all business aspects rolled into it. For me though my decades with the brand and being successful with it, kept me loyal.

If adaptations are needed, they have had the solution. Pros Really easy to use, system is set up logically, multiple reporting capabilities Cons Did not have a P&L function at the time (or one to our liking, it was 10 years ago!) Reasons for choosing LOADPlus Better functionality and priced accordingly.

Pros The system is easy to enter customers and carriers. Cons They system needs to consolidate functions in less steps. Example: Tracking has to be tracked thru each leg of the shipment. That can be very time consuming. Each step has at least three functions. The system takes too long to move from one step to the other. It takes a long time to save. Reasons for choosing LOADPlus We are a small growing company so we needed a good product for an economical price.

Transportation Broker Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Basic load tracking, posting and Carrier managemnt " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 May 9, 2023 Overall I think VLP does the job, but if asked, I would assume it was one of the most affordable options out there. I would not pay a premium for it if I was the owner purchasing the software. It makes it harder to be efficient because of the outdated feel/flow and "order of operations" if you will. Pros So far, the best feature has been integrating MyCarrierPackets. Cons The system crashes regularly. Email integration through the servers are slow and insconsistent. When entering a load, the system will OFTEN glitch and lose all load info.. we then must log out of the dispatch screen, reload the dispatch side, and repopulate the info to post. This happens multiple times a day for multiple users. Tracking needs to include a # for the carriers to track themselves, and to provide to customers who require tracking 24/7 for high value items. Often rate confirmations either don't end up with the carrier and we have to manually re-send from our email, or they end up in junk. Overall VLP feels outdated, clunky and less user friendly than it should. So many unnessecsary buttons, requirements, features..

Your are currently using the classic Windows VLP product and not LOADPlus Pro which is the new web based version. Many of the features you mentioned as needed have been added and fixed in the newest software. You do have access to this version if you would like to use it. Thanks again for your review.

President Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "FMS Load Plus review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 9, 2023 We have been a user of LoadPlus for over thirty years. All of the big TMS companies have approached us about changing to their product. We hesitate to change as the product always works and the customer service is as good or better than any company we work with. Pros First and foremost the Customer Support is excellent. We have been with this company for 30+ years. The system works almost flawlessly. Management can write customs programs if you require them for your specific needs. Cons I wish there was a Cash Flow Statement in the General Ledger module. Our bank always asks for this information. I wish they would add a Tank Endorsement box in the Dispatch module. Other than those two issues the software always works.
