# Turn TQL Carrier Dashboard into an API

> Search TQL's load board, read your My Loads list and check payment history for completed loads with one API call each. Or have a workflow search your lanes before dispatch each morning and email you the loads that were not there on the last search.

Works with your own TQL Carrier Dashboard account. Fous is an independent product.

## What you can build on TQL Carrier Dashboard

### Search the load board

Searches TQL's load board for one lane and reads each posted load, with the rate on lanes where TQL shows one and whether Book It Now is offered.

- Takes: Pick-up city and state, radius, drop (optional), pick-up date, trailer type
- Returns: Pick-up and drop locations, pick-up date, trailer type, rate where shown, Book It Now

### Get my loads

Reads Loads, then My Loads: each load you haul for TQL, with its PO number, status, pick-up and delivery addresses and extra stops.

- Takes: Status (optional)
- Returns: PO number, status, pick-up and delivery addresses, extra stops

### Get payment history

Reads the payment details TQL Carrier Dashboard shows for completed loads, so you can see which loads have been paid and when.

- Takes: Paid since (optional)
- Returns: PO number, payment amount, payment date

### Upload final payment paperwork

Opens a load in My Loads, chooses Actions, then Add Document, and uploads a document under the Final Payment Paperwork category.

- Takes: PO number, document file
- Returns: PO number, document category, uploaded

## Automate TQL Carrier Dashboard with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### New loads on your lanes before dispatch

Starts: Every weekday at 6:00

1. For each lane you name, search the load board for today's pick-ups.
2. Keep the loads that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you the list, one section per lane, with rate and Book It Now where offered.

### Delivered loads with no TQL payment yet

Starts: Every weekday at 17:00

1. Get your loads from My Loads and keep the delivered ones.
2. Get the payment history for completed loads.
3. Keep the delivered loads whose PO number has no payment yet.
4. Email you their PO numbers, delivery addresses and status.

### TQL payments, posted to your accounting system

Starts: Every Monday at 8:00

1. Get the payment history for completed loads.
2. Keep the payments that are new or changed since the last run.
3. Post PO number, amount and payment date to your accounting webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Search the load board” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "carrierdashboard.tql.com/search_load_board",
    "input": {
      "pickup": "Columbus, OH",
      "radius_miles": 75,
      "drop": "Atlanta, GA",
      "pickup_date": "2026-11-13",
      "trailer_type": "Van"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "loads": [
      {
        "pickup": "Groveport, OH",
        "drop": "McDonough, GA",
        "pickup_date": "2026-11-13",
        "trailer_type": "Van",
        "rate": 1450,
        "currency": "USD",
        "book_it_now": true
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## TQL Carrier Dashboard’s own options

TQL offers EDI, API and TMS integration, set up by a dedicated IT team and requested through your TQL account executive or its Data Integration Team. Its page describes shipment updates and reporting and does not say who qualifies. For carriers, TQL Carrier Dashboard is a free load board on the web and in a mobile app.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| EDI, API and TMS integration | Real-time pickup, delivery and in-transit updates and tailored reporting through EDI, set up by a dedicated TQL IT team. | A request to your TQL account executive or the Data Integration Team. Who qualifies is not stated. |
| TQL Carrier Dashboard app | Load search, Book It Now, quotes, status updates, document upload by phone camera and payment history. | Free on the App Store. Searching loads needs no account; the rest needs an approved login. |
| TQL Carrier Dashboard by hand | The load board, My Loads, document upload, payment details and the Reporting tab, which exports a yearly tax PDF. | A completed carrier packet through Highway and an approved login. |

## Signing in to TQL Carrier Dashboard

You get a TQL Carrier Dashboard login by completing TQL's carrier packet through Highway and then choosing Request a Login; TQL approves it in about 48 hours. With Fous you sign in once through TQL Carrier Dashboard's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256 and never returned by the API or written to logs.

## Worth knowing

- **Only Final Payment Paperwork starts payment**: Documents uploaded under other categories, such as Lumper Receipt or BOL for Fuel Advance, go only to the broker and are not used for payment processing.
- **Factored loads go to your factoring company**: If you factor, TQL asks you to send all load documents to your factoring company, not to TQL.
- **Tax details are on the website only**: TQL does not send 1099 forms. The yearly breakdown is under the Reporting tab of the website, not the app, and exports as a PDF.
- **Some equipment types are app only**: TQL says box trucks, Sprinter vans and hotshots are available only in the app. To find more loads, TQL suggests leaving drop blank or widening the radius.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does TQL Carrier Dashboard have an API?

Only by request. TQL sets up EDI, API and TMS integration through a dedicated IT team, requested through your TQL account executive or the Data Integration Team, and does not say who qualifies. Otherwise you have TQL Carrier Dashboard on the web and in the mobile app.

### How do I check whether TQL has paid for a load?

Check the payment details in TQL Carrier Dashboard, which shows payment history for completed loads. TQL's standard pay terms are 28 days. For questions, TQL asks you to contact Carrier Relations with your TQL PO number ready.

### What quick pay options does TQL offer?

Two: 1-day pay at 5% off gross pay and 7-day pay at 3% off the gross pay of the load. TQL's standard terms are 28 days.

### Where do I upload a BOL for a TQL load?

On the website, go to Loads, then My Loads, then Actions, then Add Document; in the app, open My Loads and tap Add Document. Use the Final Payment Paperwork category for the rate confirmation or invoice, the signed BOL, and lumper receipts or scale tickets where they apply.

### Is Fous affiliated with Total Quality Logistics?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own TQL Carrier Dashboard login, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of TQL Carrier Dashboard (Total Quality Logistics). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
