TMS for Mississippi carriers
TMS for Mississippi Carriers
Mississippi runs real freight. The Gulf ports at Gulfport and Pascagoula keep containers moving, I-10, I-20, I-55, and I-59 carry that freight north and east, and the state's roughly six thousand registered motor carriers are mostly independent operators and small fleets — not mega carriers. HaulerPro is a TMS built for exactly that kind of operation.

What Mississippi carriers are up against
Every state runs freight a little differently. Here's what we hear from Mississippi operators.
Hurricane season disruption
From June through November, Gulf Coast weather can shut down port operations, reroute freight, and strand trailers. You need a system that lets you reassign loads, update status, and invoice quickly once things reopen.
Gulf Coast seasonality
Port volumes swing with the shipping cycle. Carriers running Gulfport and Pascagoula freight see sharp peaks and slow stretches, which means dispatch has to flex between long-haul and regional runs without losing the paperwork trail.
Cross-border competition
Louisiana and Alabama carriers compete hard for the same Gulf cargo. Mississippi operators win with faster turnarounds, better customer communication, and cleaner documentation — not bigger fleets.
IFTA across four interstates
A single week can put a Mississippi truck in Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Per-state miles and fuel have to be captured cleanly so quarterly IFTA isn't a three-day fire drill.
DOT permitting and compliance
Overweight, oversize, and intrastate permitting through the Mississippi DOT takes paperwork. Drivers lose hours when dispatch can't find a permit scan or a current rate confirmation on a load.
Factoring and cash flow
Small Mississippi fleets often rely on factoring to keep fuel in the tanks. The faster a clean invoice and BOL hit the factor, the faster the money comes back — and the fewer disputes you eat later.
How HaulerPro fits in MS
Built for carriers who run small fleets in real places like Mississippi — not a dashboard designed for enterprise shippers.
Dispatch that flexes with the weather
Reassign loads in seconds when a storm or port closure changes the plan. The driver sees the update on their phone and dispatch gets confirmation back — no chasing texts across three threads.
Full visibility on every load
Status updates flow from the driver to dispatch to the broker without three phone calls. When a customer asks where their freight is, the answer is on screen.
IFTA that writes itself
Per-jurisdiction miles roll up automatically as your drivers complete loads, and fuel tracks through the expense flow. When the quarter closes, the panel aggregates your per-jurisdiction miles into an export ready for your filing. No weekend project of spreadsheets and fuel receipts.
Documents that travel with the load
Scan rate cons, BOLs, permits, and weigh tickets from a phone. They attach to the load, so the broker, the factor, and the driver are all looking at the same file.
Per-load profitability for Gulf runs
See the real number on every Gulfport or Pascagoula run — revenue, fuel, per-diem, tolls, factoring fee. You stop guessing which lanes actually pay.
Built for the size of fleet you actually run
From one truck to fifteen, the software doesn't get in your way. HaulerPro was built in Mississippi by someone who shaped the software around how carriers actually work, for operations that look like yours.
Mississippi regulations, simplified
IFTA registration for Mississippi-based carriers is handled through the Mississippi Department of Revenue. Quarterly returns are filed online, and per-state miles and fuel receipts need to be kept with your operating records. HaulerPro auto-captures per-jurisdiction miles as your drivers complete loads, and fuel receipts scan into the expense flow tied to each load. When the quarter closes, you have a per-state miles export and a clean fuel record to reconcile, not a three-day paper hunt.
Motor carrier registration is through the Mississippi Department of Transportation for intrastate operating authority, with interstate authority coming from FMCSA. Permitting for oversize, overweight, and hazmat moves runs through MDOT — keep the permit scans attached to the load record so the driver and dispatch have them when they're needed.
