Samson Cartwright's review of FreightWise

Morton O'ReillyJan 2026

...the price is what sold me more than any flashy dashboard. We pay about $700 a month for FreightWise and, for my 20-truck fleet in the Northeast, the freight optimization trimmed our billed freight by roughly 7% in the first quarter - that covered the subscription twice over. The single consolidated billing and the automatic audit flags were the real happiness point; they caught several small overcharges in month one and cut down the back-and-forth with carriers. The interface has some rough edges, which is why I stopped at four stars, but for the money it’s worth keeping - it saves time and actually puts cash back in the operation.

I've used FreightWise for about 16 months. The feature that really caught my attention was the automated carrier tendering and rule-based auto-award - set it up once and it started routing loads to our preferred carriers and lower-cost lanes without me babysitting the process. For a fleet of 50 trucks and after 18 years in the business, the time savings were obvious: my dispatch team cut manual tendering down by roughly 10–12 hours a week and missed tenders became rare. It isn't flawless - every so often a contract expiry or an oddball lane trips the logic and someone has to step in - but the exception workflow is straightforward and quick to handle. That single feature reduced the routine noise and let us focus on the real problem loads; it delivers tangible value for mid-market operations.

Bottom line: FreightWise outperformed our previous TMS in the one area that was costing us time - carrier selection and tendering. The automated tender engine, paired with transparent carrier acceptance rates, cut decision time and re-tenders for our 55-truck operation. I was most pleased that dispatch no longer spends half the afternoon calling carriers to confirm loads.
