Unlock Tangible Efficiency Gains That Fuel Your Bottom Line

Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly on Manual Updates

Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly on Manual Updates: Dispatchers spend endless cycles calling drivers for status checks amid fluctuating fuel surcharges. Our AI automates it all—pulling ELD data to notify customers of ETAs in real time, including predictive adjustments for reefer temperature logs. Result: 85% reduction in phone tag, freeing your team for high-value routing decisions like backhaul optimization. One Midwest LTL carrier reported saving $45K annually in labor alone, hitting ROI in under four months by reducing idle time on docks.

Boost On-Time Delivery Rates to 98%

Boost On-Time Delivery Rates to 98%: Delays erode trust and renewals in trucking, especially for time-sensitive OTR hauls. We build predictive alerts that preempt issues, like traffic snarls on major interstates or weather impacts on cross-dock schedules, sending proactive updates via SMS or your TMS portal. This cuts customer inquiries by 70%, with benchmarks showing a 25% uptick in repeat business from shippers in competitive spot market bidding. Efficiency isn't just faster—it's a competitive edge in tight freight markets with rising detention fees.

Cut Communication Costs by 60% While Enhancing Compliance

Cut Communication Costs by 60% While Enhancing Compliance: Manual emails and calls rack up hidden fees in time and errors, plus risks from non-compliant BOLs. Our systems generate compliant PODs and hazmat notices automatically per FMCSA guidelines, integrating with your invoicing for seamless billing and automated IFTA reporting. Trucking firms see 40% fewer disputes over lumper fees, plus peace of mind knowing FMCSA logs are audit-ready for roadside inspections. It's like upgrading from a clunky CB radio to a satellite network—reliable, instant, and owned by you.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, our dispatchers were glued to phones chasing PODs for cross-country OTR hauls from Chicago to LA. Now, automated texts with ELD-verified signatures go out the second a driver signs off—saved us 12 hours a week during Q4 peak season, and our biggest produce shipper renewed a three-year contract without a hitch last quarter."

Mike Harlan

Operations Manager, Swift Freight Lines (Flatbed Division)

"We run reefer loads for perishables, so timing is everything on routes like I-80 through the Rockies. Their AI caught a mechanical delay from a blown trailer seal and notified the receiver before we even called, including temp log alerts. Dropped our complaint rate from 15% to under 3% in three months—finally, tech that gets reefer trucking realities without false positives."

Sarah Ruiz

Fleet Supervisor, Apex Transport (Refrigerated Services)

"Integrated with our legacy TMS overnight for flatbed and dry van fleets, and now customers get ETA updates via app without us lifting a finger, even factoring in weather holds. Cut overtime by 40% last winter during Midwest blizzards; the team's actually leaving on time now and avoiding HOS violations. Worth every penny for the sanity and zero fines this year."

Tom Whitaker

Dispatch Director, Horizon Carriers (Regional Fleet)

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Workflow Mapping

We dive into your routes, TMS setup, and pain points—like erratic driver responses or customer no-shows. No cookie-cutter audits; this is a custom blueprint tailored to your fleet's daily grind.

Step 2

AI System Design and Integration

Our engineers build from scratch, linking ELDs, GPS, and customer portals with robust APIs. Test runs simulate real hauls to ensure flawless alerts for everything from LTL pickups to full truckloads.

Step 3

Deployment, Training, and Optimization

Go live with hands-on training for your dispatch crew. We monitor the first 30 days, tweaking for peak efficiency—like fine-tuning a convoy for better mileage. You own the system, fully scalable for growth.

Why We're Different

We build production-ready code, not fragile no-code patches, ensuring your comms system withstands the chaos of OTR trucking without breaking.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle varying customer communication preferences in trucking?

We customize the system to your client roster—some prefer SMS for quick ETAs, others email summaries with maps. By integrating with your CRM, the AI pulls preferences and sends accordingly, like a short text for OTR updates or detailed PDFs for brokers. In one deployment for a regional hauler, this cut follow-up calls by 65%, as customers got exactly what they needed without chasing you. Setup involves mapping your top 20 accounts first, then scaling. It's all owned code, so you tweak channels as relationships evolve, ensuring 90%+ satisfaction without extra tools.

Will this work with our existing ELD and TMS providers?

Absolutely—our team specializes in deep integrations with leaders like Samsara, Motive, or TMW systems. We use secure APIs to pull live data on driver locations, HOS compliance, and load statuses, automating alerts without disrupting your setup. For a 50-truck fleet we built for, integration took two weeks, syncing seamlessly to notify receivers of arrivals within 5 minutes of GPS pings. No data silos; everything flows into a unified hub you own. If your stack has quirks, like legacy software, we handle custom bridges to keep operations humming.

What kind of ROI can a mid-sized trucking company expect?

Expect 3-6 month payback through slashed labor and error costs. Benchmarks from our clients show 15-25 hours saved weekly on comms, equating to $30K-$60K annual savings for a 30-truck operation at average dispatcher rates. Add 20% higher retention from reliable updates, and it's a game-changer. We track metrics like reduced complaints (down 40% typically) and faster invoicing cycles. Unlike subscription models that nickel-and-dime, our one-time build delivers ongoing value— one carrier hit 4x ROI in year one by cutting overtime during holiday surges.

How do you ensure compliance with DOT and FMCSA regulations?

Compliance is baked in from the start. Our AI systems log all communications with timestamps, sender details, and content archives, ready for audits. For hazmat or HOS alerts, we embed mandatory phrasing per DOT guidelines, auto-generating reports if needed. We've navigated this for carriers in regulated lanes, like those hauling hazmat across state lines, ensuring zero fines post-implementation. The setup includes role-based access so only authorized eyes see sensitive data, all encrypted end-to-end. It's not bolted-on; it's core to the architecture, giving you audit-proof peace of mind.

Can this scale if we add more trucks or routes?

Yes, our enterprise-grade builds handle growth effortlessly. Designed on scalable frameworks, the system auto-adjusts for fleet expansion—whether doubling routes or adding international hauls. For a client growing from 40 to 120 trucks, we optimized without downtime, incorporating new data sources like cross-border customs feeds. Capacity planning starts in discovery, projecting for your 2-3 year goals, so alerts remain snappy even at peak volumes. You own the backend, meaning upgrades are internal, not vendor-dependent, keeping costs predictable as your business accelerates.

What if we need custom features for specific freight types?

We tailor everything to your niches, like reefer temp alerts or flatbed securement confirmations. During mapping, we identify unique needs—say, automated chain-of-custody for high-value loads—and code them directly. A produce hauler we served got AI that monitored temps via IoT and texted receivers if thresholds dipped, preventing spoilage claims. No rigid templates; it's all custom code, iterated based on your feedback. Post-launch, we provide six months of tweaks to refine, ensuring it fits like a custom load strap—secure and exact for your operations.
