AI for Freight Operations

Quotes take too long

By the time you price a lane and call the shipper back, a competitor already has the load confirmed.

Manual carrier check-ins eat your day

Calling carriers every two hours for a location update is time you could spend booking the next load.

Paperwork scattered everywhere

BOLs, rate confirmations, PODs across email, fax, and three different portals. Nothing in one place.

Platform Features

Every tool your operation needs, finally in one place

FreightAI handles the repetitive execution work so you can focus on what actually moves the business: relationships, rates, and reputation.

AI Rate Intelligence

Pull live market rates from DAT, Truckstop, and your own load history simultaneously. FreightAI cross-references lane data, current fuel surcharges, and seasonal demand curves and returns a competitive quote in under 60 seconds. You stop guessing and start pricing with confidence on every lane, every time.

Smart Load Tracking

Automated carrier check-ins via text and ELD integration mean you always know where your loads are without making a single call. When a driver runs behind schedule, FreightAI detects the delay, recalculates the ETA, and sends a proactive update to the shipper before they think to ask. You stay ahead of the problem instead of reacting to the call.

Carrier Qualification Bot

Stop spending 40 minutes on the phone with a new carrier just to discover a lapsed insurance certificate. FreightAI pulls MC and DOT records, checks SAFER safety ratings, verifies insurance in real time, and flags any compliance gaps before you book the load. Carriers that pass get a 30-day badge in your private network so you skip the re-check on the next booking.

Compliance Docs on Autopilot

BOLs, rate confirmations, and proof of delivery are generated automatically at booking and archived the moment they are signed. POD collection works through a driver-facing link sent via text, no app download required. Your invoice goes out within minutes of delivery confirmation, not days later. Faster invoicing means faster payment and better cash flow without chasing anyone down.

Shipper Communication Hub

Every shipper on a load gets real-time SMS and email updates at booking, pickup, in-transit, and delivery, all triggered automatically by load status changes. You configure the message templates once. After that, shippers hear from you at every key moment without a single manual touchpoint. Fewer "where's my load?" calls means more time talking to potential customers.

Revenue and Margin Dashboard

Know exactly which lanes make money and which ones eat it. FreightAI tracks gross margin by customer, lane, carrier type, and time period so you can make smarter booking decisions and drop the accounts that are actually draining your operation. Set margin floor alerts so you never accidentally book below break-even on a busy day when you're moving fast.

How It Works

Up and running in one business day

No long onboarding, no expensive consultants, no IT department required. FreightAI connects to your existing TMS in under 30 minutes.

1

Connect your TMS

FreightAI integrates with McLeod, Aljex, Tailwind, and 11 other common broker TMS platforms via direct API or CSV import. Your existing load history becomes the foundation for AI rate recommendations from day one, not six months from now.

2

Set your rules

Define minimum margin thresholds by lane and customer. Configure shipper notification preferences. Add your carrier qualification checklist. The platform learns your operational rules and enforces them consistently across every load, without micromanagement or exceptions that slip through.

3

Let the AI run execution

From the first load booked inside FreightAI, the platform takes over tracking, shipper communication, documentation, and invoicing automatically. Your team focuses on sales and relationships. FreightAI handles the execution layer that used to eat half your day.

Customer Stories

Brokers running leaner without hiring more staff

Early customers have reduced back-office time by over 60 percent while increasing load count without adding headcount.

★★★★★
"Before FreightAI, I was spending three hours a day just doing carrier check-ins and sending shipper updates. That time is completely gone. I booked 22 more loads last month than my previous best month, and I was less stressed doing it."
Marcus T. Independent Freight Broker, Chicago IL
★★★★★
"The carrier qualification piece alone was worth the subscription. We had a bad actor slip through our manual process last year and it cost us a shipper relationship we had maintained for six years. That cannot happen with FreightAI running the checks on every booking automatically."
Lisa R. Co-owner, Bridgepoint Logistics, Memphis TN
★★★★★
"I used to quote by gut feeling and DAT spot rates. FreightAI showed me I was leaving 8 to 12 percent on the table on my dry van lanes because my mental model of market rates was two weeks behind. That margin recovery paid for a full year of the subscription in six weeks."
Derek A. Freight Broker, 7-truck fleet, Dallas TX

FAQ

Questions brokers ask before they sign up

Does FreightAI replace my TMS?
No. FreightAI connects to your existing TMS and adds an AI operations layer on top of it. You keep your current system, your data, and your current workflow. FreightAI handles the tasks your TMS cannot automate on its own: carrier check-ins, qualification, document generation, and proactive shipper communication.
How does carrier qualification work?
When you enter a carrier's MC number, FreightAI pulls their SAFER record, checks active insurance certificates through our insurance verification partners, looks up CSA scores, and cross-references against the FMCSA revocation list in real time. The entire process takes under 20 seconds. Qualified carriers are stored in your private network with a 30-day freshness window so repeat bookings skip the re-check automatically.
What if my carrier does not have an ELD?
FreightAI works with non-ELD carriers through SMS-based check-ins. At configurable intervals, the platform texts the driver with a one-tap location report. No app download, no login, no friction for the driver. Responses feed into your load board alongside ELD data so your shipper view is always complete regardless of what equipment the carrier runs.
How accurate are the AI rate recommendations?
Accuracy depends on lane data density. On high-volume lanes with 100 or more prior loads in the system, recommendations land within 3 to 5 percent of market clearing price over 85 percent of the time. On thin lanes or specialty freight, FreightAI flags the lower confidence level and shows you the raw data range so you can apply your own judgment rather than trusting a number blindly.
Is my load and customer data shared with other FreightAI users?
No. Your data lives in a private tenant environment and is never shared with or used to train models used by other customers. FreightAI uses publicly available market rate signals from DAT and Truckstop to calibrate recommendations, but your specific customer relationships, margin history, and carrier agreements are private and always will be.
How long does setup take?
For Pro and Team customers, setup typically takes less than one business day. You connect your TMS, configure shipper notification templates and margin rules, and import your carrier list. Our onboarding team walks you through the integration over a 45-minute video call. Most brokers are processing live loads inside FreightAI the same afternoon they sign up.
