Freight, Logistics & Transportation
The private load board and EDI hub purpose-built for carriers, brokers, and 3PLs.
x12port is the only EDI platform with a built-in private freight marketplace. Post loads, invite your carriers, send EDI 204 load tenders, receive 990 acceptances and 214 status updates — and close the loop with 210 invoices — all without a VAN, a TMS, or a public load board.
204 → 990 → 214 → 210
Complete freight EDI cycle in one platform

204
Motor Carrier Load Tender

Carrier accepts or declines the tender electronically. No phone calls, no emails.
214
Shipment Status Update
Carrier reports in-transit milestones, delivery attempts, and final proof of delivery.
210
Freight Invoice
Carrier submits a freight bill tied to the original tender — auto-matched for reconciliation.

Electronic BOL exchanged between shipper, carrier, and consignee.
997
Functional ACK

Why x12port
Built for Freight, Logistics & Transportation
No public listings. Your relationships stay yours.
The x12port Load Board is private by design. Your loads are only visible to carriers you personally invite. No spot market exposure, no rate shopping by strangers.
EDI 204 tenders without a TMS
Send formal EDI 204 load tenders to your carrier network directly from the platform. No AS2 setup, no VAN connection, no middleware.
Carriers join for free
Remove the biggest barrier to EDI adoption — cost. Carriers connect to your network at zero cost, making it easy to get your whole network on EDI.
Full 204 → 990 → 214 → 210 lifecycle
Track every load from tender to invoice in the Pipeline Tracker. See which carriers accepted, which loads are in transit, and which invoices are outstanding.
Real-time status via EDI 214
Carriers submit shipment status updates electronically instead of calling in. Your operations team sees live updates without lifting a phone.
Freight invoice automation
Carriers submit EDI 210 invoices that are automatically matched to the original 204 tender — reducing billing disputes and manual reconciliation.
