The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Freightview higher-volume pricing tiers (51+ shipments) require contacting sales for custom quotes; Trucker Path parking and weigh station data is crowdsourced, so its accuracy tracks user density and degrades on secondary routes, in Canada and during overnight hours when fewer drivers are reporting.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Freightview

  • Higher-volume pricing tiers (51+ shipments) require contacting sales for custom quotes

Trucker Path

  • Parking and weigh station data is crowdsourced, so its accuracy tracks user density and degrades on secondary routes, in Canada and during overnight hours when fewer drivers are reporting.
  • The app is consumer priced and consumer supported, so a fleet buying seats gets no account management, no service level commitment and no meaningful administrative console.
  • Ownership sits with Renren Inc., and carriers hauling defence, government or otherwise sensitive freight have raised questions about a foreign owned company holding continuous driver location data.
  • The load board is thinner than DAT or Truckstop, so an owner operator serious about spot freight usually pays for one of those as well rather than instead.
  • The TMS is built for very small carriers and runs out of capability quickly on settlements, factoring and compliance, meaning a growing fleet faces a migration within a couple of years.

On major interstate corridors during normal hours it is usually right. Off the main lanes and late at night it should be treated as a hint, not a booking.

Freightview: Does Freightview offer a free trial?

Yes, Freightview offers a 14-day free trial with no upfront payment required. As stated: 'You get 14 days to try Freightview... if you don't put in your payment information, we don't charge you.'

Renren Inc. acquired it in 2017.

For businesses shipping 51 or more shipments per month, Freightview offers custom pricing. Customers can request annual prepayment options after consultation with sales.
