Control Tower. Every open load across LTL, reefer, truckload and white glove on one screen. Tap a mode for its radar. Real platform screens, sample shipments and rates.

Short answer: The GetShippingRates platform is a transportation management system (TMS) for shippers. One login quotes six modes (LTL, truckload, parcel, international air and ocean, reefer LTL and white glove final mile), books LTL online, tracks every shipment, shows open loads by mode on a live Control Tower, and reports spend by carrier, lane and month. It comes with a shipping account from Armstrong Transport Group, with no software to install.

How it works

One workflow for every mode

1

Quote

Enter the lane and freight once and switch modes to compare. LTL rates from 50+ carriers, an all-in truckload price, parcel, international and reefer options.

2

Book

Book LTL online and print the bill of lading. For truckload, parcel, international, reefer and final mile, your Armstrong team confirms and books the rate you chose.

3

Track and report

Every shipment lands in one list and one Control Tower, with alerts for late loads and missed pickups and reports your finance team can export.

Included

What replaces the portals and spreadsheets

Six modes, one login

No separate websites for LTL carriers, a truckload broker, a parcel account and a freight forwarder.

Control Tower

Every open load across every mode on one live screen, with exceptions and late loads flagged before your customer calls.

Saved addresses and products

Shippers, consignees, accessorials and product dimensions saved once, so repeat shipments quote in seconds.

Documents

Bills of lading, pallet labels and quote PDFs generated from the shipment you already entered.

Reports by mode

Spend, shipments, carriers and lanes by month and by mode, filtered and exported in one click.

Users and roles

Give your team their own logins, so everyone works from the same shipment list instead of their inbox.

API

Armstrong offers an API for rating, booking and tracking when you want the platform connected to your ERP or order system.

A team behind the screen

A named Armstrong rep for claims, disputes, appointments and the loads a screen can't fix.

Questions we hear

What is a TMS for shippers?

A transportation management system: software where a shipper quotes, books, tracks and reports on freight. The GetShippingRates platform is a TMS that covers six modes and comes with a shipping account, so there is no separate software contract.

Which modes are on the platform?

LTL, truckload (dry van, reefer, flatbed and intermodal), parcel, international air and ocean, reefer LTL, and white glove final-mile delivery. Your account is set up with the modes you use.

Is there a software fee?

No separate license. The platform comes with your shipping account: you pay for the freight you move. Accounts are opened after a quick credit check.

How long does setup take?

After the demo there is a quick credit check, then we switch on your modes and load your addresses and products from a spreadsheet. There is nothing to install.
