One platform.
Every way you
move freight.
Run owned-asset and brokered freight on the same operating system. One customer record, one margin view, one operation, regardless of who hauls the load.
Most TMS platforms force you to pick a side.
Transportation companies that run both owned trucks and brokered capacity often end up running two systems to do it, one built for dispatch, one built for brokerage, with a spreadsheet trying to reconcile the two.
The issue is not which model you run. The issue is running both models on tools built for only one of them.
Most TMS platforms were built for a broker or built for a carrier, not both. When your operation grows into both, the software does not grow with it. FTM treats fleet and brokered freight as two sources feeding the same load record, not two separate businesses.
Two ways to move freight. One record either way.
Whether a load moves on your own truck or a carrier’s, it becomes the same kind of record, with the same customer, the same margin view, and the same reporting.
The customer never sees the difference. Whether their freight moved on your truck or a carrier’s, the invoice, the visibility, and the relationship come from the same system.
Six capabilities. One operation, regardless of mode.
Each capability treats fleet and brokered freight as two inputs into the same system, not two separate businesses you have to run in parallel.
A load looks the same on the board whether it’s yours or a carrier’s.
Assign a driver or source a carrier from the same console, the same load board.
See total profitability without exporting two systems into a spreadsheet.
A customer who gets both fleet and brokered service is still one account.
Know when to run your own truck and when to broker it out, with real data.
Leadership sees one operation, not a fleet report and a brokerage report.
Most operations don’t stay one model forever.
A pure carrier adds brokerage to cover lanes outside their fleet. A pure broker buys a few trucks to control their best lanes. The software should not be the reason that transition is painful.
Growth should not force a platform migration. Whether you’re adding trucks to a brokerage or brokerage to a fleet, the same foundation absorbs the change.
One operation to run, not two to reconcile.
This is what changes for the people who answer for the whole business, not just one side of it.
Both modes feed the same operating system.
A quote can become a fleet load or a brokered load. From that point on, both flow through the same chain.
This is the same chain described on the Quoting System, Dispatch Console, and Customer Portal pages. Mixed Operations is not a separate workflow, it’s the same workflow with a branch for who hauls the load.
Why Mixed Operations works better on Salesforce.
Software built for one model treats the other as an afterthought. FTM treats fleet and brokered freight as two values in the same field, because the underlying record was never built to assume only one of them.
What running one platform creates.
These are the operational shifts teams report after consolidating onto FTM, not promises about specific numbers your operation will see.
Deploy without splitting your operation into two.
FTM is configured around the modes you actually run today, whether that’s pure fleet, pure brokerage, or both, and it grows as your mix changes.
Questions teams ask before rolling out.
For questions specific to your business model, a transportation specialist can walk through your use case.

Bring your current mix of fleet and brokered freight. FTM will show how both run inside the same Salesforce org.
