We manage all our RFPs through the application. This saves us hours of work and allows us to broaden our scope in less time to obtain better rates. The support we get from ShipperGuide is very helpful and responsive. > > **Cons**: There is nothing at this time because our suggestions and concerns are very important to the developer for future improvements or enhancements. They have met all of our expectations. > > We have had a very positive experience with ShipperGuide. Their team is very engaged in our use of the product and value our feedback. ----- ### "Love using load smart\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shayla** | *5 September 2025* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's simple and easy to use. I like how quickly customer service gets back to you. There isn't many issues with the site. > > **Cons**: There isn't anything I don't like about it. I just wish the the pro numbers would populate faster but I'm not sure that is anything that you can control so it's understandable. > > Overall, load smart is simple and easy to use. It is easy to navigate and user friendly. Customer support is very helpful. I like how we get updates about our shipments. Shipping things out is a very easy process. Hardly any bugs or issues with the website. ----- ### "ShipperGuide TMS" — 2.0/5 > **Erik** | *19 December 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is user friendly. Not the easiest to use but it is manageable for new users and individuals that have little experience in the industry. > > **Cons**: There are too many glitches within the platform that you have to keep an eye out for, or it can cost you or your customer issues with the load. > > The system worked out great in the beginning, after about 8 months of working great the system started having issues of glitching, creating double loads and not always accurate pricing on the full truck load rate instant quotes. They have a lot of work to do to get this platform to be one of the best. The platform has features others has. The LTL carriers listed are not all of the leading carriers currently are out there. ----- ### "Shipperguides finest\!" — 4.0/5 > **Bryana** | *10 September 2025* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its very convenient and self explanatory. website is very clean if that makes sense. I like the customer support chat they are usually very helpful. Overall i love this program and do thinks its worth having. > > **Cons**: having to download the BOLS and Shipping Labels to my computer in order to print them out. Customer support chat is kind of slow when responding. Also the edit option to add a pallet after shipment doesn't work what the point of having the option and when trying use it doesn't work and just getting told to cancel the shipment overall and re do it. Very inconvenient. > > Great\! even with the cons i cannot complain about this site\! its so helpful and brings ease to my job\! ----- ### "SATISFIED AT SCOTTS" — 4.0/5 > **SHANNA** | *5 September 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I LIKE THE EASE OF COMMUNICATING WITH MY CARRIERS, I LIKE THE EASE OF CHANGING TIMES AND DATES, I LIKE THE REAL TIME ACCEPTANCE. > > **Cons**: ITS TO EASY TO PICK CARRIERS THAT ARE NOT ACTIVE. SOME TIMES ITS TOO EASY TO INVITE CARRIERS TO BID IF YOU ARE A FAST CLICKER . > > I LIKE IT ALOT 4 OUT OF 5 . THE LEARNING GUIDES AND HELP COMMUNITY ARE REALLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND THE CHATS ARE VERY HANDS ON. IT HAS BEEN A PLEASANT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/435667/loadsmart?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/435667/loadsmart) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
