The "Freight Billing" Problem
Manual reconciliation of freight loads against invoices delays carrier payments by 2-4 weeks, risking strained relationships with OTR drivers
Disputed carrier invoices due to missing PODs (Proofs of Delivery) tie up dispatchers in endless reviews, diverting focus from load assignments
Seasonal volume spikes in cross-dock operations overwhelm AP teams, causing backlogs in billing for intermodal shipments
Inconsistent rate confirmations on LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipments lead to overpayments averaging 5-10% per invoice
Fragmented systems between TMS (Transportation Management System) and accounting software force duplicate data entry for every BOL (Bill of Lading) haul
Fuel surcharge discrepancies on reefer (refrigerated) loads create compliance headaches during DOT audits, potentially leading to fines up to $15,000

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and ROI in Your Trucking Operations
Reclaim 10-15 Hours Weekly on Billing
Reclaim 10-15 hours weekly on billing for flatbed and dry van loads: Dispatchers spend less time buried in paperwork. Automate POD matching and rate verification against BOLs to free up your team for route planning and driver management, boosting overall fleet productivity by 35%. Industry benchmarks from ATA (American Trucking Associations) show trucking firms gain $120K in annual savings from reduced labor costs alone.
Achieve 5x Faster Cash Conversion
Achieve 5x faster cash conversion for LTL and FTL (Full Truckload) invoices processed in 2-3 days, not weeks, accelerating payments from shippers and carriers. This cuts DSO from 45 to 9 days, improving working capital for fuel, maintenance, and expansion. Our clients in intermodal logistics report a 250% ROI within the first year through eliminated overpayments on accessorials and faster reimbursements from detention claims.
Eliminate Errors Costing Thousands
Eliminate errors costing thousands in lumper fees and tolls: AI cross-checks freight details against master carrier contracts, reducing disputes by 80%. No more $10K surprises from unverified accessorials like lumper fees or detention on cross-border hauls. This precision ensures FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) compliance and builds stronger carrier relationships, positioning your operation as an industry leader in efficiency.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our AP team was swamped reconciling 500+ invoices a month from OTR drivers, often chasing missing PODs for reefer loads. Now, the system auto-pulls data from our TMS and flags discrepancies like fuel surcharges before they hit our books. We've cut processing time from 3 days to under an hour per batch, and our error rate dropped to almost nothing last quarter, saving us $8K in overpayments."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers Inc., specializing in Midwest OTR routes
"Integrated this with our ELD for real-time mileage verification on every LTL load, including accessorials like liftgates. Saved us about 12 hours a week that we now use for optimizing routes during peak harvest season. Cash flow improved noticeably—got paid on a disputed reefer load in 48 hours instead of fighting for two weeks over detention charges."

"Custom setup handled our seasonal LTL surge in cross-dock yards without adding staff, processing 2,000+ BOLs flawlessly. The AI learned our rate sheets for hazmat shipments and started predicting surcharges accurately within weeks. ROI hit in four months at 300%; we're finally out of the subscription trap with all our TMS and ERP tools unified, reducing DSO by 20 days."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation handle variable freight rates?
Our AI system ingests your rate contracts and historical data to automatically verify charges against loads. For instance, it cross-references LTL rates from your TMS with incoming invoices, flagging variances like unexpected fuel surcharges. This reduces disputes by 80%, as seen in our trucking clients. We customize the logic to your specific agreements, ensuring accuracy for spot market hauls or long-term carrier deals. Setup involves mapping your rate sheets during discovery, and the system learns from approvals to improve over time. No more manual rate lookups—it's all handled in seconds, freeing your AP team for strategic tasks.
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with popular TMS platforms including Truckstop, DAT, and McLeod. Our custom APIs pull load details, PODs, and rates directly into the automation workflow, eliminating duplicate entry. For a recent client with 150 trucks, we synced with their DAT system to auto-populate invoice fields, cutting processing time by 70%. The integration is built to your workflow—whether you use it for load tendering or post-haul billing—and includes error-handling for API downtimes. We test thoroughly to ensure it withstands high-volume operations without disrupting your dispatch.
Based on our deployments, mid-sized fleets (50-200 trucks) typically save 10-15 hours per week on invoice tasks. This comes from automating data capture, matching, and approvals, which previously involved manual reviews of BOLs and carrier statements. One client reduced their monthly close from 10 days to 2, reclaiming 40 hours for route optimization. ROI hits in 4-6 months through labor savings and faster payments—industry data shows $40-60K annual gains. We tailor to your volume, so a smaller operation might see 8 hours saved, scaling up with growth.
Absolutely, our solutions are designed with compliance in mind, incorporating FMCSA and DOT requirements for record-keeping and billing accuracy. The AI logs all invoice actions with timestamps and audit trails, ensuring easy retrieval during inspections. For example, it verifies Hours of Service impacts on detention billing to avoid disputes. We've helped clients pass audits by maintaining digital records of PODs and rate confirmations. Security features include encrypted data storage and role-based access, meeting industry standards without adding complexity to your daily ops.
Pricing starts at $15K for a basic setup for small fleets, scaling to $40K+ for comprehensive integrations in larger operations. This is a one-time build fee, with optional $500/month maintenance. Unlike subscriptions averaging $2K/month elsewhere, you own the system outright. For a 100-truck company, expect full ROI in 6 months via $100K+ in time and error savings. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, factoring in your TMS complexity and invoice volume—no surprises.
Our architecture is built to scale effortlessly with peaks, like harvest season surges or holiday rushes. The AI handles variable loads by dynamically allocating resources—processing 200 invoices daily in off-peak and ramping to 1,000 without performance dips. A Midwest client saw this in action during Q4, maintaining 99% uptime. We include auto-scaling in the design and monitor during deployment to adjust for your patterns, ensuring smooth cash flow year-round without extra costs.
