Frontier vs Alvys: which fits your fleet?

Alvys charges per load and runs brokerage alongside your own trucks. Frontier charges by trucks in service and is built for carriers only. Which costs less depends on how many loads each truck runs.

When Alvys might fit better

If you broker freight as well as haul it, Alvys runs both in one system, and it advertises native EDI and over 120 integrations. A fleet that runs very few loads a month may also pay less per load than per truck. Frontier is for carriers and does not run brokerage.

Built by a carrier

Frontier is built and run daily by a family-owned carrier, not a software vendor working from requirements docs. That shaped what got built first: dispatch, driver pay, and the documents that actually stall a load.
