The "Appointment Chaos" Problem
Dispatchers drowning in endless phone tag for load pickups, often involving back-and-forth with shippers over FMCSA-regulated timelines
Missed appointments delaying cross-country hauls, inflating idle truck costs by up to $150/hour per tractor-trailer
Manual calendar juggling leading to double-bookings on high-value refrigerated routes, risking spoilage and carrier penalties
Shipper no-shows wasting driver hours at loading docks nationwide, with average waits exceeding 2 hours per incident
Regulatory compliance headaches from untracked booking confirmations, exposing fleets to DOT audit fines up to $10,000 per violation
Seasonal surge overloads crippling real-time fleet availability updates, especially during Q4 holiday freight spikes
Our Custom AI Booking Engine – Built for Your Fleet's Rhythm
With over 50 trucking deployments, we've engineered enterprise-grade automations that handle 10,000+ weekly bookings without a hitch.
Why Choose Us
Picture your dispatch hub as a bustling interstate, where every lane flows smoothly. We craft a bespoke AI system that integrates directly with your TMS, ELD, and shipper portals. No more frantic calls. AI handles inbound requests, matches loads to available rigs based on real-time GPS data, and books slots instantly. It's tailored to your routes, driver preferences, and peak seasons – turning scheduling bottlenecks into a well-oiled machine. We've seen fleets recover $150K annually in lost productivity alone.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Drive Your Bottom Line
Slash Scheduling Time by 70%
Slash Scheduling Time by 70%: Dispatchers spend less time on phones, more on optimizing routes via TMS integration. Expect 12-15 hours saved weekly per team member, translating to a 25% productivity boost and ROI within 4 months through reduced overtime on load boards.
Boost Driver Utilization to 92%
Boost Driver Utilization to 92%: AI matches loads precisely using GPS and ELD data, minimizing deadhead miles. Fleets report 18% higher on-road time, cutting fuel waste by 15% and adding $200K+ in annual revenue from extra hauls on backhauls.
Reduce No-Shows and Delays by 45%
Reduce No-Shows and Delays by 45%: Automated confirmations and predictive reminders via SMS/EDI keep shippers accountable. This eliminates costly dock waits averaging $100/hour, ensuring your rigs roll on schedule and compliance with HOS regulations stays airtight.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our dispatchers were buried under calls for every Midwest LTL pickup. Now, the system books 80% automatically via EDI, and we've cut rescheduling errors by half. Saved us about 14 hours a week, easy, allowing us to handle 20% more shipments without extra hires."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Horizon Freight Lines (Regional LTL Carrier)
"Implemented this last quarter for our cross-border runs into Canada. No more double-bookings on tight timelines with customs clearances. Drivers are happier with fewer idle periods under HOS rules, and we're seeing a solid 20% uptick in load efficiency on reefer hauls."
Sarah Kline
Fleet Director, Apex Trucking Co. (Cross-Border Specialist)
"The custom integration with our ELDs and TMS was a game-changer during peak Q4 season. Handled 500 extra bookings without adding staff, reducing deadhead by 25%. ROI hit in under three months – highly recommend for any growing OTR carrier."
Tom Reyes
VP of Logistics, SwiftHaul Transport (OTR Flatbed Operator)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle varying truck types and routes?
We design the AI to account for your fleet's diversity – reefer vs. dry van, short-haul vs. long-haul. During discovery, we map your specific routes and equipment needs. The system then uses machine learning to prioritize matches, ensuring a flatbed gets assigned to appropriate loads while respecting HOS limits. For example, in a recent deployment for a Midwest carrier, this cut mismatched assignments by 60%, saving hours on reroutes. It's all custom-coded to your operations, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
What if a shipper needs to change a booking last-minute?
Our system includes intelligent rescheduling powered by AI that scans availability in real-time. Shippers get a self-service portal or voice option to request changes, which the AI evaluates against your fleet data. If viable, it auto-confirms; otherwise, it suggests alternatives or escalates to dispatch. This prevents the cascade delays common in trucking. One client saw no-show impacts drop from 25% to under 10% post-implementation, with changes processed in minutes instead of hours.
Is this compliant with DOT and FMCSA regulations?
Absolutely – compliance is baked in from the start. We integrate ELD data to enforce hours-of-service rules, logging every booking decision for audits. The AI flags potential violations, like overbooking a driver nearing fatigue limits, and generates reports for FMCSA inspections. We've helped carriers avoid fines totaling $50K+ by automating these checks. Your system will be tailored to include any state-specific rules, ensuring seamless operations across jurisdictions.
How long does it take to see ROI from this automation?
Most trucking clients hit positive ROI in 3-6 months. By automating 70% of bookings, you save 10-20 dispatcher hours weekly at $25-35/hour, plus reduced idle time adding $5K+ monthly in revenue. We track metrics from day one via custom dashboards. For a 100-truck fleet we built for, payback came in 4 months through 15% better utilization. Factors like your current volume influence this, but our proven track record ensures quick wins.
Can it integrate with our existing software like QuickBooks or Samsara?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations. For instance, bookings auto-populate in Samsara for GPS tracking and in QuickBooks for invoicing. No more manual entry errors. Our engineers use robust APIs to create unbreakable connections, handling data like load details and ETAs bidirectionally. A recent project synced with McLeod TMS flawlessly, reducing errors by 90%. We'll map your stack during consultation to confirm compatibility and build accordingly.
What support do you provide after launch?
Post-deployment, we offer 30 days of hands-on optimization, monitoring uptime and tweaking based on your usage. Ongoing, it's enterprise-grade support with a dedicated engineer for updates – think scaling for fleet growth or adding features like weather-based adjustments. Unlike subscription models, you own it, so we train your team for self-management. Clients report 99.5% reliability, with us resolving issues in under 4 hours. This ensures your investment keeps delivering without hidden fees.
