Frequently asked questions
McLeod Software scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. About sixteen REST/JSON APIs on the McLeod Innovation Hub span orders, dispatch, tracking, rates, and telematics, with webhook support. Provisioning is gated: request forms feed rep-managed approval and Symphony needs qualified-vendor status. Rate limits, pricing, and sandbox details are not public.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
McLeod Software is a transportation management system (TMS) vendor founded in 1985 and headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.
Vertical: Fleet / Trucking / Logistics, specifically trucking and brokerage TMS. Target Market: Mid-market and enterprise truckload carriers (50-5,000+ power units), freight brokerages and 3PLs, LTL carriers, and private fleets. Dispatchers, brokers, drivers, carrier-relations and back-office accounting staff use McLeod to: create and manage orders and loads, dispatch and assign tractors/drivers, run carrier sourcing and qualification (PowerBroker), execute track-and-trace (often via Symphony or third-party telematics), handle driver settlements and accounting, run fuel and IFTA workflows, manage safety and compliance (CSA, driver qualification), generate rate confirmations and BOLs, manage EDI/API trading-partner transactions via DataFusion, run market-rate benchmarking via MPact, and use the RespondAI module to auto-triage broker inbox emails into orders.
8/10 within North American trucking/brokerage TMS. McLeod is consistently ranked among the top 1-3 TMS vendors for asset-based truckload and brokerage operations and is described as "the most popular TMS" for enterprise carriers.
McLeod is the system of record for the most operationally critical data in a trucking carrier or brokerage: orders/loads with all stops, commodities, weights, references and rates; dispatch assignments linking tractors, trailers, drivers and movements; carrier master files with qualification, insurance, authority and CSA scores (PowerBroker); driver master files with HOS, qualification, pay rates, and settlements; EDI/API trading-partner transactions (204/214/210/990 and custom JSON/XML) via DataFusion; track-and-trace events from Symphony, in-cab telematics and macros; rate confirmations, BOLs and invoices; driver settlements, fuel and IFTA; accounts receivable/payable with native accounting; document images via DocumentPower; and market rate benchmarks via MPact.
Founded 1985 in Birmingham, AL, one of the oldest TMS vendors still operating at scale.
Developer portal lacks public endpoint-level docs/examples on overview pages; deep documentation requires API-key request and a McLeod representative. Rate limits, pricing, and sandbox availability are not publicly documented. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Trimble Transportation (TMW.Suite, TruckMate), MercuryGate, Revenova TMS, PCS Software, Rose Rocket, Tailwind TMS (WiseTech). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official McLeod Software MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. McLeod Software doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
