The Future of Logistics is Here

Big news from Direct Logistics: This summer we’re rolling out our all-new Direct Logistics Platform (DLP), the next-generation solution set to replace our long-running TruckDirectMail.com (TDM) site. This is more than just a facelift — DLP is a complete reinvention that delivers an even faster, smarter, and more capable solution for freight and mail shipping.

What Is DLP?

DLP is a modern, web-based platform built to support both our core mail-as-freight services and our fastest-growing new services: freight-of-all-kinds (FAK) and Parcel Shipping. Whether you’re shipping palletized mail to USPS destination entry facilities or managing high-volume parcel deliveries and freight loads across the U.S., DLP was designed with your needs in mind.

Why Not Keep TDM?

For over 20 years, TDM has served as the mailing industry’s most trusted online tool for LTL drop-shipping. But your needs and expectations — and those of the entire freight industry — have evolved, and Direct Logistics is answering the call with DLP:

A faster and stable interface for hi-volume freight and parcel shipping

Support for more freight shipment types and carriers

Streamlined quoting, scheduling, and tracking

API-ready architecture for enterprise integrations

You only pay for shipments tendered thru the system

What This Means for Our Customers

Beginning this month, select TDM users can begin migrating to DLP. Each round of migrations will be carefully managed to ensure a smooth transition. If you’re among the early invitees, you’ll get personal support from our team as you explore the new tools and workflows. If you’d like to be an early adopter, contact us today: sales@directlogistics.com

Good news for API-connected users and software integration partners: Switching to DLP requires NO CHANGE to your code (!!!) but you’ll want to take advantage of the new dashboards, reporting features, user management options, and instructional content available on DLP. Contact us today for more details.

Timeline & Access

A select group of TDM to DLP account migrations will begin this month, June 2025. We’ll continue to migrate users in phases approximately every two weeks. When your account comes up for migration, you will receive advance notice, along with training materials and support contact details. Once your account is fully migrated and live on DLP, you’ll use DirectLogistics.com to access all shipment management tools, and your former TDM account will be disabled.
