We start moving freight

Cincinnati, Ohio— Freight since 1989—37 years
Freight experts on your side.
Lower costs. Better decisions.
Less work for you.
Since 1989, Freight Edge’s team of logistics experts in Cincinnati has managed freight for shippers. Our industry-leading software gives you complete control and visibility of every shipment. Built-in automations, powered by AI, take over the manual tasks and shrink your inbox, and every decision comes with the full picture of what affects it. We negotiate better carrier pricing and contract terms that secure your interests. Then we audit every freight bill against that contract and watch your freight every day, so issues are handled fast. How it works. Free consultation: tell us where your freight hurts, and we’ll share our solutions.
§ 01 / What we do
Where we
earn our keep.
01
Carrier increases
A rate increase or GRI rerated against twelve months of your actual shipments before you agree to it, with a report of the impact and our best strategy to reduce it. Then we negotiate. Talk to us
02
Freight bill audit
Every invoice repriced against your contract — not the carrier API most competitors audit off. Each variance comes with its reason. Start with a free audit of 90 days of bills you have already paid. See it
03
LTL and truckload
Contract rates from the carriers you use, compared on cost, transit time and service level. Specialty and parcel arranged too.
04
TMS and API
Rate, book, dispatch and track in our system — or connect your own systems through our open API. See it
Ask about the rest: claims, reporting, network analysis, expedited, international, air and ocean.
§ 02 / The record
Four dates
that matter.
1998
Our TMS goes online
The same year Google was founded. Our customers had already been running our software on their own PCs for years.
2018
ACS Traffic becomes Freight Edge
New name, same company, same people, same twenty-nine years of freight behind it.
Today
Every invoice audited by machine
Thirty-seven years of pricing judgment, running automatically against every bill you receive.
Bills audited
100%
Not a sample. Every carrier invoice repriced against your contracted tariff before the money leaves.
Years in freight
37
Same business, same discipline, since 1989. Ask any 3PL pitching you AI how long their company has existed.
§ 03 / The products
Buy the whole thing,
or just the part you need.
One platform, sold as separate tools. Switch on what you want, leave the rest off.
01
Core TMS
Rate every contracted carrier, build a BOL in seconds, dispatch electronically and track the lot. See it
02
Claims
Filed, documented and chased to settlement, so damage stops quietly becoming a cost of doing business. See it
03
Freight Bill Audit
Every bill repriced against your contract: the variances, the reasons, what came back. See it
04
Parcel Audit
Parcel bills audited, refunds recovered and your UPS and FedEx agreement negotiated, all handled by our team. See it
§ 04 / Why us
Old enough to know.
Fast enough to matter.
The industry gives you a choice between a startup that can code but has never worked a claim, and a broker who has seen everything but still runs on email. We are the third option.
