TruckMaster API & Developer Integration

TruckMaster is more than dispatcher screens and reports — it is a platform you can extend. Our JSON-based API lets you integrate TruckMaster TMS with your own websites, portals, mobile apps, and back-office systems using the same interface our own web UI uses every day.

Per-Customer API Endpoints

Every TruckMaster environment has its own dedicated API endpoint. Examples:

• Demo / Evaluation: https://acme.truckmaster.com/api
• Customer Example: https://westerntrucking.tmls.us/api
• Your Production Environment: https://yourcompany.com/api

All calls go to your own domain, and each environment is isolated to your data.

What the TruckMaster API Can Do

The API exposes the same core objects you work with in TruckMaster every day, including:

• Operations: Manifests, Trips, Loads, Drivers, Trucks, Carriers, Customers
• Billing & Settlements: Invoices, Vouchers, Driver Advances, Driver Settlements
• Business Functions: Actions such as assigning trips, booking manifests, and more through function calls

At a high level, the API supports:

• CRUD operations on core tables (create, modify, retrieve, delete, query)
• Function calls for business actions via /api/function/{Table}/{Function}
• JSON in / JSON out, using standard HTTPS requests
• Consistent schemas that match your live TruckMaster configuration

Anatomy of a Request

All requests are made over HTTPS and send/receive JSON. Here are simplified examples using our demo environment. In your own system you would replace the hostname with your TruckMaster portal domain.

Example: Query Drivers by Name

POST https://dispmaster.truckmaster.com/api/query
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer 
{ "Table": "Driver", "Fields": "Name,CityState", "Filters": [ { "Field": "Name", "Operator": "contains", "Value": "Smith" } ]}

Sample response (simplified):

{ "Result": { "Driver": { "000123": { "Name": "John Smith", "CityState": "Boise, ID" } } }}

Example: Call a Business Function

Business functions let you perform higher-level actions, such as assigning a trip to a carrier.

POST https://dispmaster.truckmaster.com/api/function/Trip/Assign
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer 
{  "ID": 037139", "Carrier": "000245"}

The exact field names and shapes come from your live schema, but the pattern above is representative of how function calls are made.

Authentication & Security

• HTTPS only: All API traffic is encrypted in transit.
• Per-customer credentials: API access is enabled per customer and per environment.
• Access control: Permissions are managed within TruckMaster so you can control who/what can call the API.
• Data isolation: Each domain only has access to its own TruckMaster data.

For security reasons, we do not display live credentials here. Existing customers can contact TruckMaster support or their account manager to enable or review API access.

Environments: Demo, Staging, and Production

Most projects use at least two environments:

• Demo / Sandbox: For evaluations and proof-of-concept work.
• Production: Your live environment used by dispatchers and back-office staff.

Many customers also choose a staging environment that mirrors production for safe testing before deployment.

Common Integration Scenarios

Customers use the TruckMaster API to:

• Import loads or orders from external systems into TruckMaster.
• Push shipment status and tracking information into customer-facing portals.
• Synchronize driver settlements, vouchers, and invoices with accounting / ERP systems.
• Feed normalized operations data into reporting and business intelligence tools.

If you have something more specialized in mind, we are happy to discuss it.

Documentation & Schema

Each TruckMaster environment can expose API documentation and schemas that match your live setup (tables, fields, and functions). During onboarding, we can provide:

• Schema / documentation aligned to your environment
• Descriptions of key objects and functions
• Example requests and responses for your specific use cases

If you are evaluating TruckMaster, ask your sales representative to include a demo of the API during your Trucking Software Comparison or product demo.

Getting Started

• Tell us what you want to integrate. For example, importing loads, updating trip statuses, or synchronizing billing.
• We enable and configure your API access. We will help you choose the right environment and provide credentials.
• Build with the tools you already use. Any language or platform that can call HTTPS and parse JSON can work: C#, Java, Python, Node.js, PHP, and more.

To learn more or to enable API access for your environment, please discuss with your account manager.
