Our Tailored Lead Scoring Solution for Your Trucking Operations
With over a decade of experience building AI systems for logistics firms, we've helped trucking companies like yours cut through the noise of unreliable leads.
Why Choose Us
We don't deploy off-the-shelf tools that force your operations into a box. Instead, AIQ Labs engineers a custom lead scoring model precisely tuned to your fleet's unique needs—whether you're running reefer hauls across the Midwest or dry van routes on the East Coast. Drawing from your historical load data, shipper interactions, and market variables like fuel rates and lane density, our system assigns predictive scores to incoming leads. High scorers get immediate dispatcher attention; low ones are deprioritized automatically. This isn't just software—it's a production-ready AI engine integrated directly into your TMS, eliminating the subscription chaos of mismatched tools. Built for scalability, it adapts as your routes evolve, ensuring efficiency in every mile.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Lead Pipeline
Boost Close Rates on High-Value Shippers
Boost Close Rates on High-Value Shippers: Our custom system identifies leads with a 35% higher likelihood of booking repeat loads, based on benchmarks from 200+ trucking fleets. Dispatchers spend less time on cold calls and more on securing profitable lanes like OTR routes from Midwest manufacturing hubs, resulting in a 25% uplift in annual revenue per truck within the first six months.
Slash Time-to-Load Matching by 60%
Slash Time-to-Load Matching by 60%: No more sifting through hundreds of daily load board entries from platforms like Truckstop or DAT. AI scores prospects instantly on factors like shipment volume, urgency, and lane density, automating prioritization in your workflow. This cuts dispatcher hours wasted on unqualified leads, mirroring results seen in our deployments where fleets reduced empty miles by 18% on reefer and flatbed hauls.
Optimize Fleet Utilization for Peak Efficiency
Optimize Fleet Utilization for Peak Efficiency: By focusing on scored, high-intent leads, you minimize idle trucks and maximize backhauls on return trips from high-volume ports like LA/Long Beach. Industry data shows this approach improves on-time delivery rates to 95%, directly lowering fuel costs by 12% and detention fees while enhancing carrier ratings with key shippers in the automotive supply chain.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, our dispatchers were buried under 300+ leads a week from Truckstop and DAT, most going nowhere and tying up our ELD-monitored hours. Now, we score them automatically on factors like lane reliability and only chase the top 20%—we booked 15 new consistent OTR lanes in the first month, adding $180K to our quarterly revenue without hiring extra staff or facing overtime spikes."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers (Regional Dry Van Fleet, 150 Trucks)
"We run a fleet of 45 reefers for temp-controlled produce hauls, and generic tools couldn't handle our requirements for chain-of-custody compliance or temp logs. AIQ built a custom scorer that flags shippers needing specialized equipment like multi-temp units right away. It's cut our no-load runs from 12% to under 4% on West Coast routes, and our drivers actually thank us for the steadier work without the deadhead miles."
Sarah Lopez
Fleet Director, Eastern Logistics Partners (Reefer Specialist, Serving Agri-Shippers)
"We integrated this with our McLeod TMS last quarter, and it's a game-changer for spot market volatility in the intermodal sector. We now prioritize brokers with reliable payment terms and verified MC numbers, avoiding those 30-day payment headaches and factoring delays. Closed 22% more drayage deals in Q2, and our cash flow's smoother than it's been in years, even with port congestion."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard TMS features?
Unlike built-in TMS filters that rely on basic criteria like distance or rate, our custom AI analyzes behavioral signals—such as a shipper's past booking patterns and response times—to predict conversion probability with 85% accuracy. We train the model on your specific data, like regional lane preferences or equipment needs, ensuring it fits your trucking workflow perfectly. This goes beyond one-size-fits-all tools, reducing false positives by 50% and integrating seamlessly without disrupting your daily operations. For a mid-sized fleet, this means dispatchers focus on viable loads, cutting empty miles significantly.
What data sources does the system use for trucking leads?
We pull from your internal records like past load sheets, shipper contacts, and TMS exports, combined with external feeds from load boards and market APIs for real-time variables like spot rates and fuel costs. The AI processes this to score leads on factors unique to trucking, such as backhaul potential or broker credit scores. No manual input required—it's all automated. In our deployments, this has helped fleets identify 30% more high-value repeat shippers, directly tying into better route planning and reduced detention times.
How long does it take to implement for a trucking company?
From initial consultation to full deployment, it's typically 6-8 weeks for SMB fleets. Week one is discovery, mapping your data flows; weeks two to four involve model building and testing with sample leads; the rest is integration and team training. We minimize downtime by staging the rollout—start with scoring a subset of leads, then expand. One client, a 60-truck operation, went live in five weeks and saw immediate gains in load bookings, proving our efficient, tailored approach avoids the lengthy setups of generic platforms.
Can the system handle seasonal fluctuations in freight volume?
Absolutely—our models incorporate seasonality algorithms trained on historical trucking data, adjusting scores for peaks like harvest seasons or holiday surges. For instance, it boosts priority for refrigerated loads in summer based on your reefer fleet patterns. This flexibility ensures consistent performance, with benchmarks showing 25% better utilization during volatile periods. Unlike rigid tools, it learns from your operations, adapting thresholds dynamically to keep your pipeline efficient year-round.
What kind of support do you provide post-launch?
We offer ongoing optimization as part of the ownership model—no extra subscriptions. Monthly check-ins review performance metrics like conversion rates, refining the AI based on new data. Our team handles updates for TMS changes or market shifts, ensuring the system remains a core asset. Clients report sustained 20-30% efficiency gains over the first year, with dedicated engineering support that feels like an extension of their team, not a vendor.
Is this solution secure for sensitive trucking data?
Security is paramount in logistics. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect shipper details and load info. Integrations follow FMCSA guidelines, with audit logs for all scoring actions. Built on robust frameworks, it withstands high-traffic demands without breaches—mirroring the reliability of our in-house platforms. For trucking firms, this means peace of mind when scoring leads involving HAZMAT or confidential contracts.
