The "Driver Shortage" Problem
Manual resume screening delays filling OTR routes by 2-3 weeks, leading to empty backhauls and lost revenue on cross-country lanes
High turnover from mismatched driver assignments in fleet operations, with 40% quitting within 90 days due to incompatible tanker or dry van routes
Scattered candidate data across dispatch systems like TMS and HR platforms, causing compliance gaps in ELD and HOS logging for drivers
Over-reliance on agencies inflating costs for regional hauls, with markups up to 30% on dedicated LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) contracts
Scheduling conflicts disrupting driver interviews around tight delivery windows, forcing reefer loads to sit idle at 53-foot trailers
Inaccurate skill matching leading to safety risks on long-haul routes, such as unendorsed drivers handling TWIC-secured port deliveries

With over a decade optimizing logistics workflows, we've empowered trucking leaders to hire smarter, not harder.
Why Choose Us
Picture your recruiting process as a well-oiled semi-truck convoy: efficient, predictable, no breakdowns. At AIQ Labs, we engineer custom AI systems that integrate seamlessly with your TMS and HR platforms. We replace chaotic manual hunts with intelligent sourcing that scans CDL databases and job boards for exact matches—think hazmat-certified drivers ready for your reefer routes. Our proven track record includes slashing time-to-hire from 45 days to 15, ensuring your fleet stays loaded and on schedule.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Trucking Operations
Slash Time-to-Hire by 50%
Slash Time-to-Hire by 50%: Our custom AI screens thousands of CDL profiles weekly, prioritizing drivers with clean MVRs, tanker endorsements, and TWIC cards matching your OTR fleet needs. Trucking companies see hires in under two weeks, freeing dispatchers from endless calls and boosting on-road productivity by 30% through reduced deadhead miles. This isn't guesswork—it's data-backed efficiency that keeps your loads moving without delays on I-95 corridors.
Cut Recruitment Costs by $100K+ Annually
Cut Recruitment Costs by $100K+ Annually: Ditch agency fees that eat 25% of your hiring budget for reefer hauls. Our system automates sourcing from niche logistics networks like CDL job boards, reducing cost-per-hire from $5,000 to $2,000 for flatbed specialists. For a 50-truck fleet running Midwest regional lanes, that's real ROI—funds redirected to fuel or ELD upgrades instead of external recruiters. We've delivered this for firms hauling across I-80, proving scalability in high-turnover environments.
Improve Driver Retention by 25%
Improve Driver Retention by 25%: Better matches mean fewer quits mid-route on dedicated accounts. AI analyzes past hires to predict fit, factoring in lifestyle for OTR vs. local roles and HOS compliance. Clients report 20% fewer early departures within the first 180 days, stabilizing your workforce and cutting retraining costs by $15K per driver. It's like upgrading from a leaky trailer to a sealed unit—everything runs smoother, longer on long-haul interstates.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we spent Fridays chasing driver leads manually—it was chaos with our cross-country OTR routes from Chicago to LA. Now, the system pulls qualified CDL-A holders with clean PSP reports overnight, and we've hired six solid drivers in the last month without agencies, filling reefer backhauls seamlessly. Saved us about $40K already on agency markups."
Mike Harlan
Fleet Operations Manager, Horizon Freight Lines (Midwest Dry Van Specialist)
"Our turnover was killing us, especially for reefer specialists on tight temperature-controlled lanes. This custom setup screens for exact endorsements like N endorsement and schedules interviews around our TMS dispatch windows. Hired a team of four in two weeks; the ROI hit within the first quarter as routes stayed full, reducing empty miles by 15%."
Sarah Kline
Talent Acquisition Director, SwiftLoad Trucking (Refrigerated Goods Carrier)
"Integrated perfectly with our TMS and ELD systems—no more data silos between dispatch and HR. The AI flagged a driver with hazmat and tank vehicle experience we overlooked, and he's been gold on chemical hauls from Texas refineries. Cut our screening time from 12 hours to 2 per week; game-changer for a growing fleet like ours expanding into hazmat freight."
Tom Reyes
Director of Operations, Apex Logistics (Hazmat and Bulk Transport Provider)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this handle DOT compliance in driver screening?
Our custom AI is trained on FMCSA regulations and integrates directly with MVR databases to flag issues like violations or license expirations early. For trucking companies, this means screening out non-compliant candidates automatically, reducing your liability. We've built this for fleets hauling hazmat or across state lines, ensuring every match meets safety standards. Setup involves mapping your specific compliance rules, and the system updates with regulatory changes quarterly. Clients typically see a 40% drop in post-hire disqualifications, saving weeks of rework.
What integrations work with my existing TMS?
We specialize in two-way integrations with popular TMS like Samsara, Motive, or Trimble, pulling driver data for seamless matching. No more manual exports—AI syncs availability, endorsements, and route history to prioritize fits for your OTR or local needs. For a mid-sized fleet, this cuts data entry by 15 hours weekly. Our process starts with an API audit, then custom connectors ensure zero downtime during launch. It's built to own, not rent, so your system evolves without vendor lock-in.
How quickly can we see ROI after implementation?
Most trucking clients hit positive ROI in 45-60 days, with time-to-hire dropping 50% and agency costs falling by $50K+ yearly for 50-truck operations. We baseline your metrics pre-launch, like current fill rates, then track post-deployment gains in hires and retention. One fleet saw empty miles reduce by 12% in the first quarter. Factors like your volume speed this up—higher turnover means faster wins. We provide a customized projection during consultation, backed by our track record in logistics automation.
Is this suitable for seasonal hiring spikes?
Absolutely—our AI scales dynamically for peaks like holiday surcharges or harvest hauls, ramping up sourcing from targeted pools like regional CDL holders. It learns from past seasons to predict needs, automating 80% of influx screening. A produce transporter we worked with handled a 200% summer driver surge without extra staff, maintaining 95% route coverage. We configure surge thresholds in your workflow, ensuring the system prioritizes urgent roles without overwhelming your team.
How do we ensure data security for driver info?
Security is non-negotiable in trucking, so we use enterprise-grade encryption and SOC 2 compliance for all candidate data, including PII and MVRs. Access is role-based—dispatch sees availability, HR handles full profiles. Unlike cloud tool assemblers, our owned systems avoid third-party breaches, with regular audits tailored to DOT privacy rules. We've secured fleets transporting sensitive cargo, preventing leaks that could cost $100K in fines. Onboarding includes a full security blueprint for your peace of mind.
Can the system adapt to our multi-terminal setup?
Yes, we design for distributed operations, with AI segmenting candidates by terminal location, route types, and local regs—like California emissions for West Coast hubs. It unifies hiring across sites via a single dashboard, reducing silos. A national carrier integrated five terminals seamlessly, cutting cross-site coordination by 60%. Customization involves mapping your structure upfront, ensuring scalability as you expand. No generic templates—it's engineered for your exact logistics footprint.
