Axele LLC has upgraded its TMS software to include new integrations for factoring and load boards and new features for dispatch and settlement. The latest upgrades expand the software to better maximize driver schedules with the most profitable loads. The new upgrade to the Axele TMS includes new dashboard KPIs for safety and preventive maintenance issues which will show the number of drivers, tractors and trailers having warning and critical issues.

Other upgrades include:

• Integration with TAFS factoring. TAFS will advance payments with a one-hour advance option. Axele’s integration with TAFS automates the process for carriers to submit documentation to TAFS.
• Loadsmart load board. Provides free truckloads to help carriers find the correct freight to keep trucks full.
• 123Loadboard load board. A freight matching marketplace to find loads and truck freight.
• C.H. Robinson load board. Provides a large number of load opportunities across North America.
• Connection to the Verizon Connect Marketplace. Axele integrates Hours of Service (HOS) data directly from Verizon Connect so that dispatchers can find the right load for their drivers and the correct driver for the load considering available HOS, driver preferences, load profitability and more. Axele’s partnership with Verizon Connect and inclusion within its marketplace means carriers can maximize their driver schedules with the most profitable loads and provide accurate ETAs to shippers and brokers with automated tracking links, the company says. 
• Dispatcher commission. This new feature allows companies to manage dispatcher commission calculations on each load and add payment terms for each dispatcher. When assigning a dispatcher to a load, their commission amount is calculated automatically.
• Tractor settlement. This new feature allows users to create custom tractor settlements for tractor owners by adding payment terms for each tractor. When assigning a tractor to a load, the owner’s settlement amount is calculated automatically. Users can easily create settlement reports for tractor owners for completed loads. 
• New load templates. Enables users to create and save templates for commonly repeated loads, thereby reducing the time to create loads even further. 

The Axele TMS now supports the Texas DOT ruleset for carriers who comply with federal FMCSA and Texas ELD rulesets. The rulesets can be applied by the driver.
