Tailwind CMS Tips – Load/ Equipment Posting

Tailwind load/equipment posting module is a very useful and easy to use tool that not a lot of Tailwind CMS users may be familiar with. Load/equipment posting module allows you to post loads/equipments to load posting sites with just one click. It’s a feature that can save you time and money and help you cover more loads faster and reach more carriers. It’s also programmed in a way that automatically removes you expired loads so you don’t need to do it manually.

In order to be able to use this module you first have to setup your load posting account(s). For this purpose go to menu View > System Configuration… > Tailwind Agent

Under “Posting Sites” select the website you want to use and fill in Account#, FTP Username and FTP Password.

After everything is entered click on Save and then Close.

Now that you have setup your load posting account(s) you can use Tailwind CMS to post your loads/equipments to the selected websites.

Load Posting

The complete the form and click on Save & Close.
