The "Freight Friction" Problem
Manual load matching via phone and email delays shipments by 2-4 hours per load, exacerbating carrier deadhead miles and increasing empty backhauls
Inaccurate route planning using outdated GPS or static maps inflates fuel costs by 15-20% due to inefficient routing around urban congestion and regulatory weight restrictions
Paper-based Bills of Lading (BOLs) and proof-of-delivery documents cause FMCSA compliance risks, leading to fines up to $10,000 per violation
Fragmented tracking across ELDs, TMS, and carrier portals leads to customer disputes over ETAs and POD discrepancies
Over-reliance on spreadsheets for capacity forecasting ignores real-time factors like lane imbalances and seasonal surges in drayage demand
Delayed invoicing from manual rate confirmations and demurrage disputes slows cash flow, straining margins in a 3-5% industry average
Custom AI Automation: Built for Your Freight Workflow
With over a decade of experience in logistics tech, we've helped 50+ freight firms eliminate inefficiencies through enterprise-grade AI systems.
Why Choose Us
Like upgrading from a patchwork of old trucks to a unified fleet management system, our AI automations integrate your dispatch software, GPS trackers, and billing platforms into one seamless engine. We don't slap on generic tools. Instead, we engineer production-ready solutions that handle the chaos of fluctuating loads, regulatory changes, and real-time disruptions. The result? A tailored system that anticipates issues before they hit your bottom line, proven to save mid-sized freight ops up to 500 man-hours annually.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Freight Operations
Slash Time on Load Coordination
Slash Time on Load Coordination: Automate matching freight with carriers using AI-driven load boards, saving 15-20 hours per dispatcher weekly. Industry benchmarks from ATRI show this boosts on-time deliveries by 28%, turning potential delays into reliable revenue streams for LTL and FTL operations.
Optimize Routes for Fuel and Time Savings
Optimize Routes for Fuel and Time Savings: AI analyzes real-time traffic via telematics, weather APIs, and load weights to generate optimal paths compliant with HOS regulations, cutting fuel costs by 12-18%—a direct hit to your operating expenses. For a 50-truck fleet averaging 100K miles/year, that's $150K+ in annual savings.
Streamline Compliance and Invoicing
Streamline Compliance and Invoicing: Digitize BOLs, IFTA reporting, and automate FMCSA e-filing, reducing errors by 40% and accelerating carrier payments by 5-7 days via EDI integration. This frees cash flow for reinvestment, not paperwork battles, improving DSO by 20% in high-volume drayage fleets.
What Clients Say
"We were drowning in manual route tweaks every morning—dispatchers spending hours on calls just to confirm loads amid fluctuating spot rates. After AIQ Labs built our custom TMS automation, we're saving 18 hours a week, and our fuel bills dropped 14% last quarter on our 40-truck reefer fleet. It's like having an extra driver without the payroll hit."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers (specializing in refrigerated LTL shipments)
"Tracking shipments across multiple carriers was a nightmare; we'd lose visibility on intermodal handoffs and face constant client calls about ETAs. Their AI system integrated ELD data and carrier APIs seamlessly—now we resolve 80% of queries instantly via a unified dashboard, and disputes are down 60% since rollout three months ago on our cross-border routes."
Sarah Kline
Logistics Director, Eastern Cargo Solutions (focusing on intermodal rail-to-truck transfers)
"Invoicing used to take days of double-checking manifests and resolving demurrage claims from port delays. The custom AI they developed handles rate audits and EDI submissions in minutes, cutting our AR days from 45 to 28 on $5M monthly volume. We've already seen a 22% cash flow improvement, and it's all ours—no more subscription traps for our bulk cargo operations."
Tom Reyes
CFO, Pacific Load Carriers (managing ocean-to-truck bulk freight)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle fluctuating freight volumes during peak seasons?
Our custom systems are designed with scalable architecture in mind, using advanced frameworks to process spikes in load data without slowdowns. For instance, we've built solutions for clients handling 200% volume surges during holiday rushes, maintaining 99.9% uptime. We start by analyzing your historical patterns—think Q4 e-commerce booms—and embed predictive scaling that auto-adjusts resources. This means no more manual overrides or lost shipments; your dispatchers focus on strategy, not firefighting. Plus, it's all owned by you, so costs stay predictable, unlike cloud services that bill per surge.
What integrations do you support for existing freight software?
We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular TMS platforms like Oracle Transportation Management, SAP TM, or even legacy systems like AS/400. For a recent freight client, we connected their McLeod system to GPS trackers and accounting software, automating end-to-end workflows. Our approach involves API mapping tailored to your setup, ensuring data flows securely without errors. No superficial plugins here—it's robust code that handles complex scenarios like multi-leg shipments. If your stack is unique, we audit it first to guarantee compatibility, saving you from the integration nightmares that plague 60% of logistics firms.
How quickly can we see ROI from your AI automation?
Most clients report measurable gains within the first 60 days, with full ROI hitting 6-12 months. Take a mid-sized hauler we worked with: they saved 22 hours weekly on route planning alone, translating to $45K in annual labor reductions. We focus on high-impact areas like load optimization, where industry stats show 15-25% efficiency boosts. Our process includes phased rollout—start with quick wins like automated tracking, then layer in forecasting. We track metrics from day one, adjusting to ensure you hit benchmarks like 20% fuel savings, backed by our proven track record in logistics.
Is your AI compliant with transportation regulations like FMCSA?
Absolutely—compliance is baked in from the ground up. We design systems that automatically log ELD data, monitor hours-of-service, and generate audit-ready reports for FMCSA or IFTA requirements. For a cross-border freight op, we integrated AI that flags potential violations in real-time, reducing fines by 70% in their first year. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds use encrypted data handling and role-based access to meet strict standards. We stay current with regs like the upcoming broker transparency rules, ensuring your automation doesn't just save time but shields you from costly penalties that hit the industry hard.
How much customization is involved, and what's the typical timeline?
Every solution is 100% tailored to your workflow—no templates. We begin with a deep dive into your operations, like how you handle LTL vs. FTL shipments, then prototype key features. Timelines vary: a basic dispatch automation takes 8-10 weeks, while full fleet integration runs 3-4 months. For a recent project, we delivered a custom route optimizer in 6 weeks after mapping their 40-truck routes. It's iterative—we test with your team to refine, ensuring it fits like a glove. This bespoke approach delivers 2x the efficiency of off-the-shelf software, with ownership that pays off long-term.
What if we already use some automation tools—can you incorporate them?
Yes, we excel at unifying existing tools into a cohesive system, avoiding the 'subscription chaos' you mentioned. If you're on something like LoadPilot or even Excel macros for bidding, we assess and integrate via secure APIs, enhancing them with AI smarts. A client with fragmented carrier apps saw us consolidate into one dashboard, cutting tool costs by 40% while adding predictive bidding. We don't rip and replace; we amplify what works, creating a single, owned platform that scales. This hybrid strategy minimizes disruption and maximizes your current investments.
