EDI for trucking, set up and run for you.
EDI for trucking is the computer-to-computer exchange of freight documents between a shipper's system and a carrier's TMS: 204 load tenders, 990 tender responses, 214 shipment status updates, 210 invoices and 997 acknowledgments. Most large shippers require it as a condition of contract freight. TransPlus runs EDI as a managed service inside its TMS: a dedicated in-house EDI team builds each trading-partner connection, tests it with your shipper, manages the network relationship and monitors it after go-live. Pricing is a setup fee, a module fee and per-transaction fees.
A dedicated EDI team.
A whole team at TransPlus specializes only in EDI. The same specialists who build your connections support them after launch. Not a general support queue, and not a referral to a third party.
End to end, network included.
We manage the full connection: trading partner setup, testing with your shipper, and the network in the middle. You never sign a separate network contract or sit between two vendors.
Paid on freight that moves.
A one-time setup fee, a module fee, and then transaction fees. The bulk of your cost scales with your volume, so we are paid the way you are paid.
Five transaction types carry almost all trucking EDI.
Here is what each one does. TransPlus supports all five inside the same TMS that runs your dispatch, billing, and driver app, and brokers run the same five from Logistics Manager.

How EDI pricing works.
You pay a one-time setup fee to get connected and a module fee for EDI itself. From there it is transaction fees, so the bulk of your cost scales with the freight moving over your connections. When your EDI freight grows, we both do well. When the market slows, the transaction portion of your cost falls with your volume. Name the shipper and the deadline and you get the setup, module and per-transaction quote before you sign their contract.

EDI for trucking is an add-on module. Pricing has three parts: a setup fee, a module fee, and per-transaction fees that depend on your volume. Name the shipper and the deadline on your demo and you get the setup, module and per-transaction quote before you sign their contract.
