The National Star Route Mail Contractors Association (NSRMCA) represents transportation companies that contract with the United States Postal Service to move mail across the country. For NSRMCA members, having a transportation management system (TMS) that meets USPS requirements – while boosting operational efficiency – is vital to success.
At TracxTMS, we’ve seen firsthand how integrating with key logistics and USPS systems helps mail contractors streamline workflows, improve data accuracy, and stay compliant across every contract. If you’re an NSRMCA member looking to modernize your USPS trucking operations, here’s how advanced TMS integrations can make a meaningful difference.
1. Seamless Integration with USPS EDI and CLEAR/ILE
TracxTMS provides direct EDI reporting to USPS – meaning your trip, route, and delivery data exchanges directly with USPS systems without manual intervention.
This includes support for CLEAR (the USPS Integrated Logistics Ecosystem) and similar USPS frameworks, ensuring compliance and data accuracy while reducing the administrative burden on dispatchers and operations teams.
Why it matters for NSRMCA members:
- Reduces USPS reporting errors
- Improves on-time delivery scores
- Eliminates duplicate data entry
Direct USPS communication and EDI automation are central to meeting USPS contract performance metrics and reducing turnaround time on reporting.
2. Real-Time Visibility with FourKites
TracxTMS integrates with FourKites, a leading real-time visibility platform used by carriers and shippers to track assets and shipments.
With FourKites feeds imported directly into the TMS, USPS contractors can:
- See real-time GPS tracking of trucks and trailers
- Predict ETAs based on live road conditions
- Share visibility with customers and USPS partners
This is especially helpful for NSRMCA members managing long-haul routes or contract tenders where visibility correlates directly with service scores and performance metrics.
3. Planning & Execution Optimization Through Blue Yonder Connectivity
TracxTMS also integrates with Blue Yonder systems – enabling data exchange that drives better planning and execution workflows.
By incorporating Blue Yonder collaboration data into TracxTMS, USPS contractors benefit from:
- Enhanced transportation planning insights
- Coordination with broader supply-chain partners
- Better load optimization and resource allocation
This connectivity elevates USPS contract execution by bridging strategic planning tools with day-to-day dispatch and fleet management.
4. TracxTMS: Built for Mail Contracting Efficiency
As an all-in-one USPS TMS solution, TracxTMS supports USPS contracts, daily dispatch, driver routing, and advanced EDI workflows – all in one platform.
For NSRMCA members, this means:
- Integrations that match real industry workflows

If your goal is to boost performance scores and free your team from manual administrative tasks, a connected TMS is a key part of that transformation.
