Carrier EDI Integration
Trucking EDI software that ends the re-keying from broker portals.
EDI 204 tenders land on your board pre-filled, 214 status fires from the truck's GPS, and 210 invoices send the second a load delivers.

The problem
Without EDI, every load costs you time you cannot get back.
Dispatchers spend hours each day navigating broker portals, re-typing load data, and fielding check calls that a machine should handle.
5-10 portals/day
Portal hopping costs hours daily
Each broker demands a separate login, a separate interface, and a separate workflow. Dispatchers navigate unfamiliar portals just to accept a tender, update a status, or submit an invoice. Every portal has different fields, different quirks, and different failure modes.
15+ min per load
Manual re-keying introduces errors
Without EDI, load details arrive by email, fax, or portal download. Someone re-keys the origin, destination, pickup windows, rate, and special instructions into your TMS by hand. One transposed zip code or missed field means a missed pickup or a rejected invoice.
3-4 calls/load
Check calls interrupt every load
Brokers call for status because they have no visibility into your operation. Each call pulls a dispatcher off real work for two to three minutes. Across 50 loads per week, that is more than five hours lost to calls that EDI 214 eliminates automatically.
Your dispatchers are re-keying loads from eight broker portals.
EDI 204 delivers every tender directly to your board, pre-filled. No portal logins. No re-keying.
How it works
From SCAC code to full EDI automation in 4 steps.
01
Connect Your SCAC
Enter your Standard Carrier Alpha Code and select your trading partners from our broker network. Vektor handles all X12 mapping, ISA/GS envelope configuration, and certification testing automatically. No VAN subscription required.
02
Auto-Tender Loads
Inbound EDI 204 load tenders appear on your dispatch board instantly. Configure auto-accept rules based on lane preferences, rate minimums, and equipment availability. Vektor sends the EDI 990 response back to the broker within seconds.
03
Automated Status Updates
EDI 214 shipment status messages transmit automatically as drivers hit milestones. Pickup, in-transit, and delivery events flow from your ELD or GPS geofence triggers directly to broker systems. No check calls needed.
04
Electronic Invoicing
EDI 210 freight invoices generate from delivered load data and submit electronically the moment a load completes. Line haul, fuel surcharges, and accessorials included. Get paid days faster than portal or email invoicing.
Inside the workflow
Three transaction sets that run the load from tender to paid.
Every load touches the same three EDI messages. Vektor automates all of them, so the broker, the driver, and your accounting team stay in sync without a single phone call.

The broker already knows where the truck is.
EDI 214 fires the moment your driver hits a geofence. No call needed. Both sides move on.

FAQ
Carrier EDI integration: common questions
Everything trucking companies need to know about automated load tendering, status updates, and invoicing.

Talk to someone who has run the lanes. No script, no pressure.
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the standardized electronic exchange of business documents between trading partners. In freight, EDI replaces manual processes like email load tenders, phone check calls, and portal-based invoicing with automated machine-to-machine communication. Carriers need EDI because major brokers process thousands of loads daily and prefer partners who can exchange data electronically. EDI 204 load tenders, EDI 214 status updates, and EDI 210 invoices automate the entire load lifecycle from tender to payment.
No portal logins. No re-keying. No check calls.
The load runs itself from tender to paid, while your dispatchers do the work only people can do.
