McLeod MPact Tells You More
Are you using the best market rate information available?
MPact is the layer of analysis McLeod Software built for our Market Insight aggregated rate data. Market Insight is collected from over 1,000 carriers and brokers every night, then aggregated to give McLeod customers an understanding of the current market rates by lane, by equipment type, containing both buy and sell sides of the transaction.
Our data is made up entirely of freight that actually moved - this is the difference between Market Insight data and many other sources, making Market Insight the most reliable rate data available anywhere.
Best of all, for McLeod customers who sign up to be anonymous rate contributors, all of the basic MPact tools, including Market Insight, are free to use.
What Our Customers Say
“This is where we are headed, and this will help our people in pricing loads to customers and carriers, especially inexperienced brokers who are not sure where they should be on rates. Y’all have done very well with this. Keep going.”
– Rob Bowman, President, Paramount Transportation
“This is outstanding. I'm going to use it. I like McLeod's tools. McLeod's Software is like that giant toolbox at Home Depot. I can put whatever tools I want in it, and I know they are going to work together. It doesn't matter what brand the tool is, they all work."
– Alan Washburn Operations Manager, Universal Logistics Services
“It is so important that MPACT is using real data. Being McLeod customers, we understand exactly what you mean when you tell us what we are looking at (load statuses, ship dates, etc.).”
– Rona Echerd, Director of Traffic, Paramount Transportation
“This is great! We love it. This is so much better than what we are currently using. We will be adding more users asap. This will be very useful tool for my floaters, who are not “in the same area day in and day out” and don't have up to date personal knowledge of rates/lanes. Also as we train new CSR’s and move our players around the benefits of having this info at their fingertips will be monumental.”
– Beth Steed, Director of Customer Relations, Boyd Bros
Scarce Insight
Many of the largest carriers and brokers have staffs of analysts, and even data scientists, crunching vast amounts of market data, and for practical purposes they are the only ones able to get close to having a current understanding of lanes and market rates that MPact delivers. But with the power of the aggregated, high confidence data supplied from McLeod customers, and the data analysis tools built by McLeod’s own Data Science Team, we are putting every carrier and broker in the best position to negotiate.
Don’t Leave Money on the Table
Having a better understanding of pricing is something transportation providers need to push to every level of their organization involved in negotiation. MPact makes it possible for McLeod customers to push instant, up-to-date understanding of current market rates and trends to anyone in their company, right when they need it. At first this may seem to be the greatest benefit for people who are new to the industry or new to your business, and it probably is. But there is also value for the most experienced folks working to price freight - quick access to the best perspective in the market. And if your entire team learns how to act on that pricing insight appropriately, the net result is going to be better decisions, better margins, and improvements in your operating ratio.
MPact gives everyone in your organization the confidence to act intentionally, based on a realistic understanding, when it comes to negotiation.

Visualization that Leads to Understanding
The analysis MPact delivers is visual and intuitive. McLeod’s Data Science Team has worked with a number of our customers and people in different roles in the pricing process to come to a better understanding of the ways we should present our complex analytics. By shortening the see/understand/act cycle, we have created a tool that helps all users understand more, faster.
Insight to Current Market Pricing
The Bulk Rate Index Tool in Market Insight gives the user complete understanding of the average linehaul rates on several lanes at once.
Market Insight History Results gives the user the ability to compare up to 4 rate types by the 4 trailer types in a given market (inbound or outbound), and date range.
Automated Interaction within Your McLeod System
Because the Market Insight application is tightly integrated with your LoadMaster or PowerBroker system, there is no external interface to purchase or implement. Your users never have to leave the screens they work in every day to interact with Market Insight.
View Market Rates and Exchange Freight with the Best Carriers and Brokers in the Industry
McLeod customers who are carriers or brokers in North America are the best run companies in the industry.
