How much does Hawk Lane TMS cost?
Hawk Lane Carrier TMS is $0/month for up to 3 active trucks (Free), $99/month for up to 10 trucks (Growth), and $199/month for up to 20 trucks (Pro). Custom plans are quoted for 21+ trucks. Pricing is by active truck count — not per driver or per load. Request Free Access to start on the Free plan.

Prices are shown in USD for the United States market. Plan limits, included services and integration availability may vary during launch. Final setup, migration and integration requirements are confirmed before activation. Switching from another TMS or spreadsheets? Ask about data migration. Share a sample export and we'll confirm what can be imported, the timeline and any setup cost before you switch. Pro includes one clean standard CSV migration; historical migration is quoted.
Third-party software, accounting platforms, telematics providers, EDI networks or integration partners may charge separate fees.
AI Dispatcher available
Advanced Workflow Automation Is Quoted Separately
AI Dispatcher is available as a separately quoted add-on. You don't have to type every load. It can prepare draft loads, log check calls and send dispatch updates from supported PDFs, CSVs, email, Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp. A dispatcher still reviews before a draft goes live. It is not included with the Pro standard integration (QuickBooks Online, Motive or Samsara). Talk to support to review your documents, channels and volume and enable it.
What you send us
Supported document and email formats, required fields, and how loads reach dispatch today.
Volume and channels
Monthly files, rows or messages, plus Microsoft Teams channels or WhatsApp recipients.
Review rules
Validation, duplicate handling and exception queues for unmatched or incomplete items.
Ongoing support
Configuration, testing, monitoring and any third-party usage charges.
What Affects TMS Software Pricing?
TMS software pricing can vary depending on fleet size, users, driver workflows, customer visibility, reporting, integrations, migration and support needs.
Fleet size
Active truck count often drives plan tier and operational scope.
Number of office users
Dispatchers, billing staff and managers need appropriate user limits.
Driver app requirements
Mobile driver workflows add collaboration beyond core dispatch.
Customer portal access
Shared load visibility can reduce status calls.
Invoicing and settlement workflow
Back-office billing and driver pay affect which plan fits.
Reporting needs
Standard and advanced profitability views vary by plan.
Accounting or telematics integrations
QuickBooks, Motive, Samsara and similar tools may need a higher plan. Those standard integrations do not include PDF, CSV, email, Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp automation.
Data migration
Clean imports from spreadsheets or another system add setup scope.
Onboarding and support
Guided setup and priority support differ between Free and paid plans.
Custom workflows
EDI, APIs, hybrid carrier/broker needs, or automatic workflows from PDF, CSV, email, Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp may require separate quoting.
For small carriers, predictable pricing matters. Hawk Lane keeps plans simple so you can choose the level that fits your current operation.
How TMS Pricing Models Compare
Two quotes can look similar and cost very differently at the end of the year, because vendors meter different things. Work out what you would actually pay at your current fleet size before comparing headline numbers.
| Pricing model | How it scales | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Per company, by active trucks | Flat monthly fee for a truck band | Check what happens when you cross a band mid-month |
| Per user | Cost rises with office headcount | Discourages giving billing or safety staff access |
| Per truck | Cost rises with every unit added | Parked or seasonal trucks may still be billable |
| Per load or per shipment | Cost rises with volume | A good month becomes an expensive month |
| Percentage of revenue | Cost tracks freight revenue | Common in dispatch services, not usually in software |
| Licence plus implementation | Large upfront cost, then support fees | Typical of enterprise TMS; long payback for a small fleet |
Hawk Lane uses the first model: a flat company subscription based on active truck count, with no per-load or per-driver charges.
No Per-Driver or Per-Load Billing
Hawk Lane plans are based on active truck count and plan features, not a separate charge for every driver or every load.
- No per-load billing
- No per-driver billing
- Clear truck-based plan limits
- Upgrade when your fleet grows
- Paid features unlock by plan
Additional users, integrations, custom migration or special workflows may require a higher plan or custom quote.
Questions to Ask Before You Commit to a TMS Cost
The monthly number is the easy part. These are the questions that decide what you actually spend in year one.
- What is metered — trucks, users, loads, or revenue?
- What happens to my bill if I add a truck mid-month?
- Are onboarding, training, and data migration billed separately?
- Which features are excluded from the tier I was quoted?
- Is an accounting or telematics integration included or an add-on?
- Is there a contract term, or is it month to month?
- What does support cost, and what response time comes with it?
- Can I export my own loads, documents, and invoices if I leave?

Built for Small Fleets, Not Enterprise Complexity
Many transportation management systems are built for larger fleets, enterprise shippers or complex logistics networks. Small carriers often need something more practical: dispatch, drivers, documents, billing, settlements and customer updates without a long implementation cycle.
Enterprise TMS platforms may be better for large fleets with complex integrations and heavily customised workflows. Hawk Lane may be a better fit for small carriers that want a practical system with clear plans and guided setup options.
