McLeod PowerBroker review

Over 260 tested integrations, every bucket covered, and no price for the TMS or the connections.

Verdict

PowerBroker has the longest named connection list of any product read for this page, and it is the one a big brokerage will shortlist first. McLeod says over 260 off the shelf, fully tested integrations backed by more than 140 certified partners. Its PowerBroker list names 12 load boards including DAT, Truckstop and 123Loadboard, carrier monitoring through Highway, MyCarrierPortal, DAT CarrierWatch, RMIS and SaferWatch, tracking through Descartes MacroPoint, FourKites, project44, TextLocate, Transflo and Trucker Tools, QuickBooks Online, and Triumph and Relay for payments. It also names AI partners for order creation and auto response: Augment, Drumkit, Everest AI, Vooma, Parade and others. It ranks third, not first, because it prints no price and because each integration is described as available for licence, so the connection list is a menu, not an inclusion.

What customers praise

Its own general ledger and full accounts system mean the books can sit inside the TMS. RespondAI, McLeod says, can generate quotes and begin order creation from incoming messages, and an August 2026 release names CRST among the first customers live on Augment's agent inside PowerBroker. McLeod has served the trucking industry for over 40 years.

What customers criticise

No price at all, and every connection is licensed on top. The old /powerbroker/ address now lands on the integrations page, so there is no product overview to read. No brokerage size is stated, and the demo form asks for truck count as well as users. No customer count is published.

Best for

An established brokerage with a large desk, its own accounting team and a long list of partners that wants the widest catalogue of tested connections in the category and is happy to get a quote.
