Freightview review
Bottom line
Freightview is a web platform that puts truckload, LTL and parcel quoting, booking and tracking in one place. Its clearest strength is that a shipper can compare spot, API and contracted rates side by side and book the chosen carrier without leaving the application. The main cost to watch is that pricing above 50 shipments per month is quoted by sales, and there is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. It suits small and mid-size shippers who want fast setup and want to stop managing rates through email and spreadsheets.
What is Freightview?
Freightview is a web-based freight management platform for shippers moving truckload, LTL and parcel freight. The company was founded in 2013 in Kansas City, Missouri, and started as an LTL rating tool before expanding to cover all modes of surface transportation. It addresses a common problem for shippers: rates, bookings and carrier updates scattered across email threads, spreadsheets and separate carrier logins.
Day to day, a shipper enters a shipment such as a 53-foot dry van carrying 15,000 pounds and sees spot, API and contracted rates from carriers in one list. Carriers respond with quotes inside the application, so correspondence stays attached to the shipment. Once a carrier is chosen, the shipper tenders the load, the carrier confirms it, and the truck arrives on the scheduled pickup day. Messaging, documents and status updates stay in the same record. Parcel users get FedEx and UPS rates across service levels, with UPS and FedEx packaging types, custom packaging and label generation. LTL users get a freight class calculator, bill of lading and label generation, automated tracking and invoice auditing.
Freightview serves freelancers, small businesses, mid-size businesses and enterprises. Pricing starts at $149 per month for up to 50 shipments per month. Higher volumes fall into the 51-500, 501-1000 and 1001+ shipment tiers, which are priced by quote through sales. Customers can pay by credit card, ACH auto-debit or ACH credit transfer, and annual billing can be arranged with a consultant. A 14-day free trial requires no payment information up front.
What sets Freightview apart is its self-service setup. Customers can begin working in the platform within minutes rather than waiting through a lengthy implementation. The API supports automated shipping workflows and connects the platform to an existing system without duplicate data entry, which makes it a practical choice for shippers who want one place to compare modes and manage freight.
