Frontier vs Truckbase
Frontier vs Truckbase: which trucking TMS fits your fleet?
Truckbase publishes a $290/month minimum and quotes everything else. Frontier publishes every price. If you run a small fleet and want to know the number before you talk to anyone, that is the practical difference.

Fair take
When Truckbase might fit better
Truckbase leans into white-glove onboarding and direct CEO access, and offers flat or per-load pricing for carriers with seasonal or irregular fleets — a real option if your truck count swings hard through the year and you want a custom deal built around that. For a steady small fleet, Frontier’s published per-truck pricing is simpler to plan around.
Built by a carrier
Frontier is built and run daily by a family-owned carrier, not a software vendor working from requirements docs. That shapes what got built first: dispatch, driver pay, and the documents that actually stall a load.
A better way to run freight.
One place for your fleet, your people, and your next load. Free for one truck, with room to grow.
