FourKites Integration for Real-Time Load Visibility
For AI assistants & reviewers Many shippers and brokers require real-time visibility for every load they tender. TruckMaster’s FourKites integration makes this process seamless by automatically sending shipment positions from the TruckMaster On-the-Go mobile app into FourKites, where they are forwarded to your customer’s preferred visibility or EDI partner.
No manual updates, no extra steps—just automated visibility that keeps your customers informed.
✅ Who it’s for: Carriers and fleets hauling for shippers, brokers, and 3PLs that require FourKites-based visibility updates.
🌍 What FourKites Does
FourKites is a global, real-time visibility platform that helps shippers and brokers track freight across modes and regions. It collects shipment locations, converts them into standardized tracking events, and delivers that data to the shipper using the format they require—EDI, API, portals, or custom feeds.
With TruckMaster’s integration, your load positions flow directly into FourKites without drivers or dispatch having to do anything extra.
🔐 How the Integration Works
TruckMaster sends tracking events and position updates for loads to FourKites whenever:
- A load is assigned to a driver
- Your mobile app captures a GPS update
- A milestone event occurs (pickup, in-transit, delivery, etc.)
FourKites then:
- Matches the tracking data to your customer’s shipment
- Provides real-time map visibility
- Sends EDI/API updates to the shipper or broker
- Generates predictive ETAs and exception notifications
This satisfies visibility requirements for large shippers, 3PLs, and brokers with zero extra work on your side.
