Inside the customer portal
One shipment, rate to delivered.
This is the screen your team works from. Follow a single load through the four stages a shipper actually lives in: price it, source it, watch it move, close it out.

See my lane estimateStraight answers
Before you price a lane.
The questions a shipper asks in the first five minutes, answered the way the product actually behaves.
Talk to a person01Is the instant estimate a quote?+
No. It is a market estimate with a typical range, a confidence level, and a market read. When you book, you get a firm quote and that number goes on the shipment record.
02What does Throughline cost?+
There is no platform fee and no per-seat fee. You pay the shipment rate you approve, and accessorials are flagged before you commit rather than discovered at month-end.
03How are carriers checked before I see them?+
Every inquiry is screened for authority, identity, insurance, and fraud patterns before it becomes an option in your portal. A person approves the carrier before any rate confirmation is sent.
04Will anything move without me?+
No. Sourcing shows you vetted options and the live count of what has been inquired, cleared, and rejected. You approve the move. Irreversible decisions always belong to a person.
05How does tracking work?+
Driver GPS and called-in check-ins land in one panel with ETA, speed, last fix, and status. Milestones and exceptions reach you by SMS, email, or voice, and stay on the record.
06Do I have to leave my TMS?+
No. Use the portal as the command center for the shipments you run through Throughline, and keep the TMS and habits your team already relies on.
