Our Mission
To be the WIND at the back of YOUR freight business
Who We Are
Tailwind helps small and mid-sized trucking companies and freight brokerages to control the chaos of running a freight business – managing trucks and drivers, compliance, tracking, dispatching, administration and more. Thousands of smaller and family run operations have used Tailwind to improve their cash-flow, profitability, and better compete with the big players in the market. We provide a supported and comprehensive, ‘all-in-one’ trucking software, freight broker software, or freight broker + carrier software system for as little as $69 a month.
Company History
For the past 16 years, Tailwind has built enterprise-grade Transportation Management Software (TMS) for thousands of trucking companies, 3PLs, as well as companies that run trucks AND broker loads (Tailwind can handle both sides of the business). Tailwind software allows freight transportation companies to manage their business more effectively by centralizing customer and vendor data, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry, and being the intersection where best-in-class partner technologies (Mileage, Load Boards, ELDs, etc.) can be managed. Recognizing the growing need for an ‘all-in-one’ transportation management software for small to mid-sized freight businesses, Tailwind released its first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application in 2015. In 2017, Tailwind was named Best Trucking & Freight Brokerage Software Provider by Industry Insight Monthly.
Combining our deep trucking-industry knowledge with the latest in cloud and user-experience technology, Tailwind continues to develop and refine our web-based transportation software to give our customers the tools necessary to run effective and efficient freight management businesses.

“We are a small company – it’s just me, my employer, and 5 drivers. The old software we used was very tedious and I never heard back from their support department when I needed help. With Tailwind I can punch in 5 dispatches in less than 15 minutes – it used to take me about an hour. The training is wonderful. Tailwind’s support department is incredible.”
