Hawk Lane is a browser-based TMS that replaces the spreadsheets, group texts, and paper folders your fleet runs on today.

  • Rate cons, BOLs, and PODs on every load

  • Driver app and customer tracking portal

Built for Asset-Based Carriers, Not Freight Brokerages

This Hawk Lane setup is focused on trucking companies that operate their own trucks, drivers and trailers. It is designed for dispatching loads, managing driver updates, collecting documents, preparing invoices and reviewing load profitability.

Running a Fleet Should Not Feel Disorganized

Carriers of every size often manage dispatch, load documents, driver updates, settlements, and invoices across spreadsheets, text messages, email threads, and paper files. Hawk Lane brings those daily tasks into one workspace.

Loads Scattered Everywhere

Dispatch details live in spreadsheets, texts, emails, and notebooks, making it difficult to see what is happening.

Missing Documents

Rate confirmations, BOLs, PODs, receipts, and invoices are difficult to find when they are spread across phones and inboxes.

Manual Driver Settlements

Driver pay, advances, deductions, and settlement history become slow and error-prone when handled manually.

Delayed Invoicing

When PODs and supporting documents arrive late, invoices are delayed and cash flow suffers.

Constant Status Calls

Dispatchers and customers repeatedly ask where a truck is because load status is not centralized.

Complex TMS Products

Many systems assume enterprise IT teams and long implementations — more complexity than many carriers need to get started.
