FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is FreightLeads Pro worth paying for if AscendTMS has a free plan?
The AscendTMS free tier is genuinely useful when you're just starting out — but it has real limits. It doesn't include lead generation, advanced reporting, or the depth of carrier compliance tooling growing brokerages need. FreightLeads Pro at $39/mo replaces the free TMS plus the separate lead gen subscription plus the spreadsheet-based reporting most AscendTMS users maintain on the side.
What does FreightLeads Pro offer that AscendTMS does not?
AI-powered lead generation, a full CRM pipeline, lane and carrier performance analytics, P&L reporting with operating expenses, a 1099/W-9 tracker, commission reporting, and full Canadian bilingual support. AscendTMS covers core dispatch and invoicing — FreightLeads Pro covers the entire brokerage lifecycle.
Does FreightLeads Pro support Canadian freight brokers?
Yes. FreightLeads Pro was built in Quebec and is fully bilingual in English and French. It supports CAD and USD on every load, Canadian compliance documents (CVOR, WSIB, NSC), and cross-border routing for brokers running Canada-US lanes.
Can I migrate from AscendTMS to FreightLeads Pro?
Yes. FreightLeads Pro includes a CSV import tool for carriers, customers, and load history. Most brokers are fully set up within a day. The 14-day free trial gives you time to run both platforms side by side before committing.
