The FreightMath Alliance
The community of FreightMath carriers.
Twice a year, the FreightMath Alliance converges on KSM's Indianapolis headquarters for two days of unfiltered conversation on operating discipline, load-level costing, and the freight decisions that separate durable networks from fragile ones. Peer to peer, member driven, and grounded in real operating data.
Best practices. Roadmap influence. Truckload bonds.
How it runs
Two summits a year in Indianapolis.
Inside the Room
Two days at KSM's Indianapolis headquarters.
Working sessions, facility tours, peer roundtables, and the conversations that only happen when the industry's most disciplined operators are in the same room.
What Happens
Three things every summit delivers.
The Alliance agenda changes every summit, but the three commitments underneath it do not.
Best-Practice Sharing
What’s working, with real numbers behind the anecdote.
The Alliance is a room full of operators who have already pushed further into load-level costing than most of the industry. Members share what’s working on pricing discipline, driver retention, network changes, and customer decisions, with the operating data to back the story. No generic keynotes. No vendor pitches. Peer to peer, at the level of detail your CFO would recognize.
FreightMath Roadmap & Deep Dives
Shape what gets built next.
Live sessions with the FreightMath product and KSM Transport Advisors teams: capability walkthroughs, roadmap previews, and technical deep dives on MapLedger, Quality of Freight, and FreightMarks. Members raise the questions that shape the backlog. The tightest feedback loop in trucking software runs through this room.
Truckload Bonds
The trust that outlasts the summit.
Peer relationships built at the Alliance keep working after everyone flies home. Members text each other about rate moves, referrals, driver programs, and the 3am equipment question. The freight industry runs on trust; the Alliance is where it gets built between carriers who no longer have to explain what cost-to-serve actually means.
Agenda Shape
A typical two-day summit.
The specific sessions rotate around what members raise before the summit. The two-day shape is consistent.

- Open Q&A with KSM Transport Advisors and product leadership
- Close-out, commitments, and travel
Who's In The Room
Decision-makers and the teams behind the data.
The Alliance is small on purpose. Members bring the seats with authority to act, and the conversation stays operator-first.
Owners, CEOs, and operating leaders
The seats with authority to act on what surfaces in the room. Alliance discussions get specific fast, and members bring the decision-makers.
FreightMath carriers, every fleet size
Members run everything from ~30 tractor fleets to multi-billion-dollar operations. The common language is load-level costing, not headcount.
Every operating mode
Dryvan, reefer, flatbed, tanker, and dedicated all sit at the same tables. Cross-mode conversation is one of the reasons members return.
KSM Transport Advisors and product leads
The FreightMath product team, KSM Transport Advisors partners, and selected solution providers who round out the operating picture, all in the room and available for candid conversation.
Why It Exists
Better carriers make better freight.
FreightMath was built on a simple conviction: when carriers can see load-level profitability across their network, they price better, negotiate harder, and service the customers who deserve it. The Alliance is the room where that conviction gets sharpened. Members leave with better cost discipline, a stronger peer network, and a direct line into the FreightMath roadmap they helped shape.
The right freight improves today's profitability and tomorrow's options. The Alliance is where that gets learned across companies.
Join The Room
The next Alliance summit is on the calendar.
Alliance seats are extended by invitation to active FreightMath carriers. If your company is running FreightMath and you have not received an invitation, reach out. If you are not on FreightMath yet, a trial is the first step in.
