The "Driver Shortage" Problem
Sifting through unqualified resumes for CDL-A drivers wastes dispatch time, often delaying OTR route assignments by 2-3 days per vacancy
Manual scheduling conflicts disrupt route planning and delivery timelines, leading to ELD violations and increased HOS downtime
High turnover from slow hiring delays fleet expansion in peak seasons
Compliance checks for DOT regulations, including FMCSA audits, bog down HR amid daily logistics chaos from fluctuating freight volumes
Inconsistent candidate vetting leads to unreliable hires affecting on-time deliveries
Inconsistent candidate vetting for hazmat endorsements leads to unreliable hires, causing delays in LTL shipments and on-time deliveries

What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains in Hiring Speed and Cost Control
Reclaim 15 Hours Weekly on Core Operations
Reclaim 15 Hours Weekly on Core Operations: Our AI handles resume parsing for CDL qualifications and initial outreach via SMS, freeing your dispatch team from sifting through hundreds of applications. Regional courier firms report a 60% drop in administrative time for reefer trailer hires, allowing focus on optimizing deadhead miles and customer service—directly boosting on-time delivery rates by 20% during peak Q4 volumes.
Achieve 4x ROI Through Reduced Turnover
Achieve 4x ROI Through Reduced Turnover: Faster hires for flatbed drivers mean they hit the road sooner, cutting vacancy costs that average $8K per unfilled position in logistics, including lost backhaul revenue. Clients see a 35% improvement in retention for OTR roles, translating to $100K+ annual savings for mid-sized fleets with 50 trucks, all while scaling for seasonal LTL surges without temp agency markups.
Streamline Compliance and Onboarding for Peak Performance
Streamline Compliance and Onboarding for Peak Performance: Automated checks for MVRs, CSA scores, and hazmat certifications cut hiring time from weeks to days for intermodal drivers. This ensures your fleet stays DOT-compliant during high-volume holiday freight peaks, reducing fines by up to 50% and enabling a 25% productivity boost as new hires integrate into TMS without detention delays.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were buried in resumes every hiring cycle, especially for our holiday rush on reefer routes. Their custom system screened for local CDL-A holders with clean MVRs and scheduled interviews around our TMS shifts—we hired 12 drivers in two weeks instead of a month, saving us about $15K in agency fees and avoiding $5K in idle truck costs last Q4 season."
Maria Gonzalez
HR Manager, SwiftDeliver Regional Couriers (45-truck fleet serving Midwest produce distribution)
"Integrating their AI with our TMS for dry van operations was a game-changer. No more manual DOT checks on CSA scores delaying starts for cross-dock assignments. We cut time-to-hire by half for 20+ new hires, and our on-time rate jumped 18% because we had the drivers ready for just-in-time deliveries. It's not hype—it's real efficiency for our daily East Coast runs."
Tom Reilly
Operations Director, MetroHaul Intermodal Logistics (120-truck operation focused on port-to-warehouse hauls)
"We run a small fleet of 25 box trucks in a competitive urban market, and turnover was killing our LTL consolidation efficiency. AIQ's automation sourced qualified CDL-B drivers from niche trucking boards, handled virtual interviews, and verified TWIC cards seamlessly. In three months, we've filled 8 spots amid fuel price spikes and reduced our cost-per-hire from $4,200 to under $2,000 while maintaining 95% fill rates."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation handle seasonal driver needs for couriers?
Our custom AI is designed with transportation seasonality in mind. It ramps up sourcing during peak times like holidays by tapping into targeted pools of part-time CDL holders and predicting demand based on your historical route data. For instance, we can automate outreach to 500+ candidates in a week, screening for flexible availability to cover surges without disrupting regular operations. This has helped clients like regional couriers fill 30% more spots during Q4, cutting overtime costs by 25%. We tailor the model to your specific peaks, ensuring it's not a generic tool but a workflow extension that aligns with your delivery forecasts.
What integrations do you support with our existing logistics software?
We build deep, two-way API connections to popular TMS platforms like Samsara or Oracle Transportation Management, plus HRIS systems such as BambooHR. This means candidate data flows automatically into your scheduling tools, flagging qualified drivers for immediate route assignments. No more manual exports that cause errors. In one project for a mid-sized courier, we integrated with their fleet software to auto-update driver rosters post-hire, reducing onboarding time from 5 days to 1. Our approach ensures scalability as your business grows, with custom code that withstands high-volume logistics without breaking.
How secure is the system for handling sensitive driver information?
Security is paramount in transportation, where driver data includes sensitive details like licenses and safety records. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to protect against breaches. The system anonymizes personal info during screening and logs all accesses for audits, aligning with FMCSA guidelines. For a logistics client, this setup passed their internal security review flawlessly, preventing any data leaks during a hiring blitz. You own the platform, so we transfer full control with built-in safeguards, eliminating risks from third-party subscriptions.
Can this automation reduce our reliance on recruitment agencies?
Absolutely—our AI replaces agency dependency by building an internal engine that sources and vets candidates at a fraction of the cost. It scans niche sites for local talent suited to courier roles, like those with EV experience for green fleets, and qualifies them via automated assessments. Clients typically see agency spend drop by 60% within six months, redirecting savings to fleet upgrades. We customize filters to your needs, such as urban vs. rural route preferences, ensuring a steady pipeline without external markups. It's about owning your hiring process, not outsourcing it.
What kind of ROI can a courier service expect from this service?
Based on benchmarks from our logistics clients, expect a 4x ROI in the first year through time savings and lower turnover. For a 50-driver fleet, that's often $75K in reduced vacancy costs and 500+ hours reclaimed for operations. We calculate this upfront using your metrics—like current time-to-hire (typically 45 days in industry stats) and cost-per-hire ($5K average)—then optimize the AI to hit 20-day hires and $2.5K costs. Post-launch, we track KPIs like fill rates to refine, ensuring sustained gains as your routes expand.
How long does it take to implement the custom recruiting system?
Implementation takes 6-8 weeks for most courier operations, starting with a two-week discovery to map your workflows. We then build and test in parallel, integrating with your tools without halting current hires. A recent project for an express delivery firm went live in 5 weeks, processing their first AI-sourced batch during week 6. This timeline includes team training and a pilot run to verify accuracy on real applications. It's faster than off-the-shelf setups because we focus on your exact needs, avoiding unnecessary features.
