The "After-Hours Lead Loss" Problem

After-hours shipper calls for spot market loads vanish into voicemail, costing thousands in unbooked flatbed and reefer freight during peak demand

Dispatchers overwhelmed by routine inquiries on load status and carrier ETAs, delaying critical route optimization and backhaul assignments in tight capacity markets

Tracking updates for hazmat shipments requested outside business hours frustrate clients, risking contract renewals in competitive refrigerated lanes

Missed emergency rerouting calls for intermodal containers during peak seasons lead to demurrage fees and carrier disputes over detention times

Inconsistent responses to carrier availability queries for OTR hauls erode trust with long-haul partners reliant on consistent capacity planning

Weekend breakdowns in communication for cross-border freight documentation, including customs clearance for Mexico-Canada runs, cause delays in just-in-time deliveries

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's voice agents, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries on backhauls for Midwest produce runs. Now, they're handled instantly with automated rate confirmations, and we've added 15% more loads per month without hiring extra staff. It's like having a 24/7 dispatcher who never calls in sick, even during harvest season spikes."

Mike Harlan

Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Lines (Specializing in Reefer Transport)

"Our shippers were frustrated with voicemail during off-hours for tracking updates on cross-dock transfers. Since implementing this, response times dropped to seconds via API links to our TMS, and we've seen a 20% uptick in repeat business from key automotive accounts. Custom integration with our TMS made all the difference in maintaining JIT schedules."

Sarah Kline

Customer Service Director, Global Haul Logistics (International Supply Chain Provider)

"Emergency reroutes for oversized loads used to mean scrambling at odd hours with manual carrier outreach. The AI agent qualifies urgency, logs POD details, and alerts dispatch flawlessly, saving us from $5K in demurrage hits last quarter on port-to-warehouse hauls. ROI was clear in the first two months—solid engineering from a team that gets freight brokerage dynamics."

Common Questions

How do your AI voice agents handle industry-specific freight terminology?

We customize the AI's language model with your exact jargon—from 'reefer loads' to 'intermodal transfers'—ensuring responses are precise and professional. During onboarding, we train it on your historical call data and TMS glossary, achieving over 95% accuracy in simulations. This means no awkward pauses or generic replies; it's like a veteran dispatcher who's studied your playbook. For freight companies, this specificity prevents misunderstandings that could lead to costly routing errors or compliance issues.

What happens if a call requires human intervention, like a complex dispute?

Our agents are designed for smart escalation: they qualify the issue in real-time, gather details, and seamlessly transfer to your on-duty team with full context logged in your CRM. No more starting from scratch. In logistics, where disputes over demurrage or delays are common, this handover process reduces resolution time by 60%, keeping customers happy and your operations smooth. We fine-tune thresholds based on your workflow to avoid unnecessary transfers.

Can these agents integrate with my existing transportation management system?

Absolutely. We build deep, two-way API integrations with popular TMS platforms like TMW or Oracle, pulling live data for quotes, availability, and tracking. This isn't a superficial plug-in; it's a robust connection that syncs in milliseconds, ensuring the AI delivers accurate info without manual input. For freight ops, this means instant backhaul opportunities captured 24/7, directly boosting your load factor and revenue without disrupting your core systems.

How secure are these AI voice agents for handling sensitive shipment data?

Security is paramount in logistics, so we implement enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant logging, and role-based access controls. Voice interactions are anonymized where needed, and all data flows through secure channels to prevent breaches. We've deployed similar systems in regulated sectors, achieving zero incidents in our RecoverlyAI showcase. For your freight business, this means confident handling of confidential details like hazmat manifests or high-value cargo ETAs, with full audit trails for compliance.

What's the typical timeline to deploy an AI voice agent for our freight company?

From initial consultation to full deployment, we aim for 4-6 weeks, depending on integration complexity. Week 1 is discovery and customization; weeks 2-3 involve building and testing with your data; and weeks 4-6 cover integration, training, and go-live with monitoring. This rapid timeline minimizes disruption to your dispatch rhythm. Post-launch, we optimize based on real call data, often seeing 20% performance gains in the first month, tailored to your seasonal freight peaks.

Will this replace our entire call center, or is it a supplement?

It's a powerful supplement that handles 70-80% of routine calls—like status checks and basic bookings—freeing your team for strategic tasks. In transportation, where dispatcher burnout is high, this scales support without headcount growth. We design it to augment your staff, with easy overrides for specialized needs like negotiating rates on spot market loads. Clients typically see workload relief immediately, allowing focus on efficiency gains like route optimization.
