A step-by-step walkthrough of quoting, booking and tracking your first shipment inside the Eagle Load platform.
Eagle Load TMS brings quoting, booking, tracking and billing together in a single dashboard. If you are moving your first shipment, this guide walks you through the entire flow—no logistics degree required. The goal is simple: get you from "I need to ship something" to "it is booked and moving" in just a few minutes.
Create your account in seconds
Sign up with your work email, confirm a few company details, and you are in. There is nothing to install—Eagle Load runs in your browser on any device, so you can quote from a laptop at your desk and track from your phone on the warehouse floor. Your team members can each have their own login, and permissions keep sensitive billing details in the right hands.
Before you run your first quote, take two minutes to set your defaults: your most common pickup location, standard packaging types, and any accounts you bill against. These small settings save you clicks on every shipment afterward.
Get your first quote
Quoting is the heart of the platform. Enter your route and freight details and Eagle Load returns live rates from across our carrier network in seconds, sorted so the best value rises to the top.
- Enter your pickup and delivery ZIP codes.
- Add weight, freight class and dimensions so the rate is accurate.
- Flag any accessorials—liftgate, residential, inside delivery or appointment.
- Compare carriers side by side on price and transit time.
Because the quote reflects real, current rates, the number you see is the number you book. No callbacks, no "let me get back to you," no surprise adjustments as long as your freight matches what you entered.
Book and track in one place
Pick the rate that fits and Eagle Load generates your bill of lading and shipping labels automatically. Print them, hand them to your driver, and you are done. From that moment, every status update flows back to your dashboard—picked up, in transit, out for delivery, delivered—so you always know where your freight is.
Where to go next
Once your first shipment is moving, explore the reporting tab to see spend by lane and carrier, and connect your accounting software so invoices reconcile automatically. If you ever get stuck, a Humble freight specialist is one message away. The platform is powerful, but you only have to learn the parts you actually use—and you can grow into the rest at your own pace.
