Turvo
Turvo Carriers API

Manage carriers - the transportation providers hauling freight - including compliance data, equipment, lanes, and contacts, so loads can be tendered and assigned. Create, retrieve, list, and update carriers. Paths are modeled from Turvo's documented resource set; the reference is tenant-gated.

  title: Turvo Public API
  description: >-
    The Turvo Public API is a JSON REST interface to the Turvo collaborative
    transportation management system (TMS). It exposes the core logistics
    objects - shipments, orders, locations, accounts (customers), and carriers -
    plus real-time tracking via location updates and event-driven webhooks.

    ACCESS MODEL: The API is self-service but tenant-gated. Credentials
    (Client ID, Client Secret, API Key) are provisioned from the API profile
    inside a customer's Turvo tenant, and the live interactive reference sits
    behind a Turvo login at app.turvo.com/lobby/documentation. A sandbox tenant
    is available for testing.

    MODELING NOTE: Because Turvo's interactive reference is tenant-gated, the
    endpoint paths, parameters, and schemas in this document are HONESTLY
    MODELED from Turvo's publicly described resource set and its documented
    OAuth 2.0 + x-api-key authentication pattern. They are a faithful
    structural model of the v1 API, not a verbatim copy of the live
    specification; confirm exact fields against your tenant's own reference.
