Understanding Carrier TMS Pro Pricing
Super Dispatch uses a seat-based pricing model for Carrier TMS Pro, meaning your subscription cost depends on how many active users (drivers and dispatchers) are in your account. This ensures fair pricing that grows alongside your business.
Pricing Breakdown
- First Seat (Driver or Dispatcher): $55/month
- Each Additional Seat: $50/month
Example:
- 1 Active Driver → $55/month
- 1 Driver + 1 Dispatcher → $100/month (1 seat at $55 + 1 seat at $50)
Plan Adjustments
- Adding Seats: Adding a new driver or dispatcher will automatically update your plan, and you’ll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the billing cycle.
