TenTrucks vs McLeod, head-to-head
A quick look at how the two TMS platforms compare for carriers that don't run an IT department.
Why fleets switch from McLeod
It's not just the price — it's every dimension that matters when you're running trucks day to day.
No IT department required
LoadMaster runs on-premise, in your own cloud, or on McLeod's hosted service, with a Windows desktop client. TenTrucks runs in the browser and the driver app — updates ship automatically, nothing to install.
Live in a day, not a project plan
McLeod runs implementations as managed projects with a project manager and on-site start-up support. TenTrucks is self-serve: sign up, import your fleet, and dispatch the same day.
Pricing you can see before a call
McLeod doesn't publish pricing. TenTrucks plans start at $145/month for up to 5 trucks, with every TMS feature included and no annual contract.
A TMS without
an IT department.
McLeod LoadMaster is deployed on-premise, in your own cloud, or on McLeod's hosted service, with a Windows desktop client for your office. TenTrucks is cloud-only: your dispatchers log in from any browser, your drivers use the mobile app, and there's nothing for you to host, patch, or upgrade.
- Runs in the browser and the driver app — nothing to install
- Updates ship automatically, no upgrade projects
- No servers, databases, or desktop clients to maintain
- Unlimited office users on every plan
Live in 24 hours.
Not a project plan.
McLeod runs implementations as managed projects, with an assigned project manager and on-site start-up support. TenTrucks is self-serve. Most carriers dispatch their first load within a few hours, and fleets moving from another TMS get their data migrated for free.
- Sign up online and start operating the same day
- Free white-glove migration of loads, customers, drivers, and equipment
- No implementation project, no on-site start-up
- Driver mobile app works out of the box — no training
Your ELD and TMS
from one vendor.
McLeod integrates ELDs from its certified partners, so the hardware is another contract and another support line. TenTrucks offers its own self-certified, FMCSA-registered ELD that plugs into your 9-pin, 6-pin, or OBD-II port and pairs over Bluetooth with the driver app.
- Self-certified and registered with the FMCSA
- Installs in minutes, no shop visit or hardwiring needed
- Already on Motive or Samsara? Connect it instead
- One-tap DOT Inspection Mode to breeze through weigh stations
One flat monthly plan.
No quote required.
McLeod doesn't publish pricing, so every evaluation starts with a sales process. TenTrucks publishes its plans on the website: $145/month for up to 5 trucks, $280 for up to 10, $540 for up to 20, and custom pricing above that — every feature included.
- Flat monthly price per plan — every TMS feature included
- No setup fees, no onboarding costs, no annual contracts
- Move between plans as your fleet grows or shrinks
- Cancel anytime and take your data with you
When McLeod might be the better pick
If you run a large carrier with in-house IT, McLeod's depth is a real advantage.
McLeod LoadMaster is one of the most established carrier TMS platforms in North America, with more than 1,200 customers and over 260 off-the-shelf integrations. Carriers running large, multi-division operations with their own IT staff, custom reporting, and deep accounting requirements get a lot from that depth.
TenTrucks is built for owner-operators to 200-truck fleets that want dispatch, ELD, IFTA, settlements, and invoicing in one cloud product they can set up themselves. If you run fewer than 200 trucks and don't want to staff an IT function for your TMS, talk to us about your operation.

What our customers are saying
Real stories from owner-operators and fleet managers who run their business on TenTrucks.
I’ve tried a few different TMS platforms over the years, and most are just too cluttered. TenTrucks is a breath of fresh air. The interface is clean, and I didn't need a week of training to figure out how to book a load or send an invoice. It does exactly what I need it to do without the extra headache.
Switching to TenTrucks was the best decision I made for my fleet this year. It has unified our dispatch, safety, and billing into one platform. If you're looking for a way to cut down on administrative waste, this is it.
Finally a TMS that isn't overcomplicated. Onboarding my team took an afternoon instead of weeks, and the visual dispatch board keeps everyone on the same page. Having billing and tracking in one place has cut hours of busywork out of every week.
The real-time tracking feature has been a game changer for our transparency. Our customers love getting updates, and it has significantly reduced the number of check-calls we have to make. Everything is visible in one dashboard.
TenTrucks vs McLeod FAQs
Answers to the questions carriers ask most when comparing the TenTrucks TMS to McLeod LoadMaster.
For owner-operators and fleets up to 200 trucks, TenTrucks is a cloud TMS alternative to McLeod LoadMaster: dispatch, its own FMCSA-registered ELD, IFTA, settlements, invoicing, and EDI in one product, with published plan pricing from $145/month and same-day self-serve setup.
McLeod doesn't publish a fleet-size range, but LoadMaster is typically chosen by mid-size and larger carriers that can support a managed implementation and, for self-hosted deployments, in-house IT. Small fleets usually want a cloud TMS they can set up themselves with published pricing.
McLeod doesn't publish pricing, so you need a custom quote. TenTrucks is priced by fleet size, per company per month: $145 for up to 5 trucks, $280 for up to 10, $540 for up to 20, and custom pricing for 20+. Every plan includes every TMS feature.
McLeod solutions can be hosted on-premise or in a third-party cloud by the customer, or hosted and managed by McLeod's own cloud service. Self-hosted deployments need IT staff to run. TenTrucks is cloud-only — there's nothing to install, host, or upgrade.
Most carriers are live on TenTrucks in under 24 hours. Fleets moving from another TMS get free white-glove data migration — loads, customers, drivers, and equipment are imported for you. Billing is month-to-month, and you can take your data with you at no charge.
Yes. TenTrucks sets up EDI connections with your shipper and broker trading partners for $499 one-time per partner, covering setup, certification testing, and go-live. There are no monthly EDI fees after that.
McLeod integrates ELDs from its certified partners rather than selling its own hardware. TenTrucks offers its own FMCSA-registered, plug-and-play ELD, and also integrates with Motive and Samsara if you already use them.
