The realest free tier in trucking
Free trucking dispatch software, limits and all
Most trucking tools say free, then mean a 14-day trial. Dray Flow free is $0 forever. Here is exactly what it includes, exactly where the limits are, and what changes if you ever upgrade.
$0 forever · No credit card · No sales call · No trial countdown
Free, with nothing in the fine print
The word free has been worn out by trials, freemium teasers, and card-required signups. Here is what it actually means here.
Free means $0, not a 14-day trial
Plenty of trucking software calls itself free, then a card prompt appears on day fifteen. Dray Flow free is a permanent plan. Run real loads on it for a year and pay nothing. There is no clock and no trial end date to forget about.
No credit card, no sales call
Sign up with a name, company, email, and password. You are inside the product in about two minutes, with realistic sample data already loaded. Nobody books a demo, gates a feature behind a quote, or asks for billing details to start.
We tell you the limits up front
The free plan caps back-office seats at one and runs the AI assistant in read-only mode at 30 requests a day. Those numbers are on this page, not buried in a footnote. Knowing exactly where the ceiling is beats discovering it mid-shift.
Everything in the $0 plan
This is real, free trucking management software, not a stripped demo. A solo owner-operator can run an entire operation on it and never pay a cent.
Free
A free TMS for owner-operators getting off spreadsheets and group texts.
$0forever
- Unlimited loads, on every plan including free
- Unlimited drivers on the mobile app, always free
- 1 back-office user seat (you, the owner)
- Full operations board and fleet management
- AI assistant in read-only mode, 30 requests per day
- Realistic sample data to explore in minutes
Drivers never count as seats. A free account with one seat can still put unlimited drivers on the mobile app.
Free vs Pro, line by line
No vague “advanced features” hand-waving. Here is the actual split, including the AI request numbers, so you can decide if free covers you.
Pro is $149 per back-office seat per month, plus applicable tax. No long-term contract, cancel anytime.
Exactly where the free ceiling is
Most pages tell you what you get and stay quiet on what you do not. Here are the three real limits, named, so you can decide before you sign up rather than after.
One back-office seat
Free covers a single owner-operator running the dispatch themselves. The moment you add a dispatcher or billing person who needs to take actions, that second seat is a Pro seat. Drivers are not seats and never count, so this is only about back-office users.
AI is read-only at 30 requests a day
On free, the AI assistant answers questions and reads your operation: find an available driver, check on-time performance, look up a load. It does not write changes. Pro lifts it to read and write actions at 200 requests per user per day so you can assign a load by typing it.
Pro-only power tools stay visible, not hidden
The brokerage desk, analytics, driver messaging, bulk actions, CSV import, and AI document intake for BOLs and rate cons are Pro features. On free they show as locked rather than disappearing, so you always know what an upgrade unlocks.
Try Pro with nothing to lose
If you ever upgrade to Pro and later cancel or fall past due, your account does not lock you out and it does not get wiped. It simply regresses to the free plan. Every load, driver, customer, carrier, and record stays exactly where it was.
- No data is ever deleted when you downgrade to free.
- Extra back-office users become view-only; the owner keeps acting within free limits.
- Drivers are unaffected and keep full access to the driver app.
- Upgrade again later and restore everyone's original role in one click.
Free does not mean limited to one kind of freight
The free plan is the front door to one platform that runs dry van, reefer, flatbed, tanker, heavy haul, intermodal, and container drayage. The dispatch engine was built around multi-leg drayage, the hardest case in trucking, so whatever you haul rides on top of it. You are not on a lesser product because you started free.
