How it works

The app runs on your own machine — your data never leaves your server. When you're ready, connect to the TDPort exchange to access the load board, rate intelligence, and verified shippers.

1
Install
Run on your server, laptop, or VPS. SQLite — no database to manage.
2
Set up your company
Add drivers, trucks, and run dispatch from day one.
3
Connect to the exchange
Opt in to share anonymized rate data and gain access to the load board.
Something broken? Run the rescue command
If your Carrier TMS won't load, shows “failed to load carrier profile,” or any “column does not exist” error, the fix is usually one command. It's safe — your database is backed up before anything is changed, and nothing is deleted.
  1. 1
    Open a terminal on the computer where your TMS is installed.
    • Ubuntu desktop: press Ctrl + Alt + T, or click the Activities menu and search “Terminal.”
    • Mac: press ⌘ + Space, type “Terminal,” press Enter.
    • Logged in via SSH from another computer: you're already in a terminal. Continue to step 2.
  2. 2
    Click “Copy,” then paste into the terminal and press Enter.
    curl -sL https://codeberg.org/TDPort/tdport-carrier/raw/branch/main/scripts/rescue.sh | bash
    To paste in most Linux terminals: Ctrl + Shift + V. On Mac: ⌘ + V.
  3. 3
    If it asks for your password, type it and press Enter.
    You won't see letters as you type — that's how Linux password prompts work, keep typing and press Enter when done.
  4. ✓
    Wait about a minute. When you see “✅ Service is healthy,” you're fixed.
    Refresh your browser and the TMS should load normally again. All your data is intact — a database snapshot was saved before any changes.
  5. !
    Still not working?

    If the database itself is corrupted, use the full catastrophic recovery guide — it reinstalls from scratch and restores your latest backup.

    Otherwise, take a screenshot of the terminal output and file an issue on Codeberg. The terminal output tells us exactly what went wrong.

Install

Free forever — no catch
The Carrier TMS is 100% free and open source. TDPort earns revenue from the exchange — a small per-load fee when you book loads through the platform. The TMS itself costs nothing.
