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 your TMS: 204 load tenders, 990 tender responses, 214 status updates, 210 invoices and 997 acknowledgments. TransPlus runs more than 2 million EDI transactions a month inside its TMS, and its in-house EDI team builds, tests and monitors each connection.
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. After setup, your cost moves 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.
204
The load tender.
The shipper offers you a load, straight into your TMS.
990
The tender response.
You accept or decline, and the shipper's system knows within minutes.
214
The status update.
Where the load is, from pickup through delivery.
210
The invoice.
How you bill the shipper, in the format their system pays from.
997
The acknowledgment.
The receipt that confirms each message arrived.

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 after setup your cost moves with the freight on 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.

Who you call when the 214s stop flowing.
The in-house TransPlus EDI team that builds your trading-partner connections also monitors them after go-live. When a 214 stops or a 210 batch is rejected, you call the people who built the connection, not a third-party service bureau and not a general support queue.
EDI, or electronic data interchange, is how shippers and carriers exchange freight documents computer to computer instead of by email or phone. In trucking it runs on five transaction sets: the 204 load tender, the 990 tender response, the 214 status update, the 210 invoice and the 997 acknowledgment, moving between the shipper's system and your TMS.
When a shipper you want to haul for requires it, yes: that freight is what pays for the connection. If no shipper is asking, it usually is not worth it yet, and some shippers accept status updates through their own portal or a tracking app instead. EDI is an add-on on every Fleet Manager plan, Lite included, priced as a one-time setup fee, a module fee and per-transaction fees. The in-house TransPlus EDI team builds and monitors the connection, so a small fleet needs no EDI staff of its own, and you get the full quote before you sign that shipper's 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. Tell TransPlus which shipper needs EDI and by when, and you get the setup, module and per-transaction quote before you sign that shipper's contract.
Inside the TMS. A shipper's 204 load tender comes straight into TransPlus, and the 990, 214, 210 and 997 run in the same TMS that runs your dispatch, billing and driver app, so nobody re-keys the load. Brokers run the same five from Logistics Manager.
TransPlus supports the transactions contract freight runs on: 204 load tenders, 990 tender responses, 214 status updates, 210 invoices, and 997 acknowledgments. Connections run through the major trading networks, and our EDI team manages the network relationship for you. See what each trucking EDI code does.
