McLeod Software introduced Version 26.1 of its TMS on March 3, adding analytics tools the company said are intended to help carriers and freight brokers make quicker operational decisions.

The collaboration between McLeod and Aurora, first announced Aug. 28, enables trucking businesses to book and manage autonomous truck capacity using their existing McLeod TMS.

Emerging AI tools promise to deliver significant efficiency gains, but also widen the pathways through which sensitive information travels.

The 40-year-old trucking software developer showcased its own investments in AI along with its partnerships with a growing number of third-party AI technology vendors.

This Aurora-McLeod software integration will make it easier for mutual customers to adopt autonomous trucks and pave the way for broader industry deployment of this emerging technology.

Brokers and carriers often pursue new freight while undervaluing existing clients. Expanding current relationships is more cost-effective. Delivering high-quality service—accurate quoting, proactive communication, shipment visibility, analytics, and efficient invoicing—builds trust, boosts retention, and increases freight volume.

In an industry as diverse as freight transportation, the operational needs and priorities of one trucking business can vary drastically from those of the next.

The company introduced updates for LoadMaster, PowerBroker and its MPact suite of business intelligence tools, including its first proprietary AI product.

Incorporating artificial intelligence in transportation management systems is changing how trucking companies and their partners use them to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

Fleet telematics provider Isaac Instruments announced it has completed a technology integration with McLeod Software to help joint customers streamline their operations.
