TruckRate Pro REST API · Enterprise Plan Only · v1.0 · Questions: billing@truckrate.pro

Overview

The TruckRate Pro API lets you generate full freight rate quotes programmatically. Send an origin, destination, and equipment type — get back a complete quote with fuel, tolls, linehaul, drayage, and margin applied.

Built for 3PLs, dispatch software integrations, and carrier pricing tools that need real-time rate intelligence without manual data entry.

Authentication

Pass your API key in the request body as apiKey. Keep it private — do not expose in client-side code.
