Our Custom AI Support Chatbot: Engineered for Trucking Efficiency
With over a decade of experience optimizing logistics workflows, AIQ Labs delivers enterprise-grade AI that integrates seamlessly with your TMS and dispatch systems.
Why Choose Us
We don't deploy off-the-shelf bots. Instead, we architect a tailored AI agent from the ground up, trained on your specific trucking data—load boards, carrier contracts, and real-time GPS feeds. This ensures instant, accurate responses to complex queries like tracking reefer temps or quoting LTL rates. Short on staff during peak seasons? Our chatbot steps in, resolving 70% of inquiries without human intervention. It's like having an extra dispatcher who's always on shift, never sleeps, and scales with your fleet.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Reliability for Your Operations
Never Miss a Load Booking, Day or Night
Never Miss a Spot Market Load Booking, Day or Night: In trucking, timing is everything—especially on volatile lanes like Chicago to Dallas. Our 24/7 chatbot captures inquiries about available capacity or lane rates instantly via integration with load boards, turning potential leads into confirmed shipments within minutes. Industry data from ATRI shows this recovers up to 25% of lost opportunities from after-hours gaps, directly boosting your revenue per truck by $2,000 monthly.
Skyrocket Customer Satisfaction Scores
Skyrocket Customer Satisfaction Scores: Shippers expect answers fast—delays erode trust faster than a tire blowout on a 53-foot dry van. With instant responses to tracking requests or invoice questions via GPS-enabled updates, your Net Promoter Score can climb 35% within 3 months, as seen in our deployments with LTL carriers. It's the efficiency edge that keeps brokers loyal and referrals flowing from repeat hazmat shippers.
Cut Support Costs While Scaling Coverage
Cut Support Costs While Scaling Coverage: Dispatchers waste hours on repetitive calls about ETAs or demurrage. Our AI handles volume spikes—like post-holiday surges in intermodal freight—without adding headcount, reducing support expenses by 50% per query and processing 1,000+ interactions monthly. Proven in fleets with 200+ trucks running OTR routes, this frees your team for high-value tasks like deadhead minimization and route optimization.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose at least two reefer loads a week to unanswered calls after 5 PM on the milk run from LA to Chicago. Now, it's pulling real-time data from our ELD system and booking spot market runs overnight via TMS integration. Response times dropped from 12 hours to under 2 minutes—our shippers actually thank us for the quick POD confirmations, adding $15K in monthly revenue."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers
"Integrated this with our TMS last quarter, and it's been a game-changer for handling driver check-ins during those long OTR hauls across Eastern time zones. We resolved a sticky $300 detention claim at 3 AM that would've waited till morning otherwise, avoiding a chargeback. Cut our follow-up emails by 60%, and the drivers love the instant weather reroute updates from the chatbot."
Sarah Kline
Customer Service Lead, Eastern Logistics Partners
"As a smaller fleet with just 15 trucks, we couldn't afford 24-hour staffing, but this bot acts like an extension of our team on rural backhauls. It fielded queries on hazmat placarding compliance during a weekend rush and even flagged a potential reroute to avoid I-5 delays from wildfires. ROI hit within the first month with three recovered loads—no more missed backhauls costing us $800 each."
Tom Reyes
Fleet Owner, Sierra Trucking Co.

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot integrate with our existing trucking management system?
We start by mapping your TMS—whether it's McLeod, TMW, or another platform—to pull real-time data like load statuses and carrier details. Our engineers create secure API connections that sync without disrupting your operations. For example, when a customer asks about a shipment's progress, the bot queries your system directly and responds with accurate ETAs or temperature logs for reefers. This two-way integration ensures all interactions feed back into your records, reducing manual updates. In our deployments, setup takes 2-4 weeks, with zero downtime, and we've handled everything from flatbed to LTL fleets. It's built to scale, so as your volume grows, the bot adapts without extra costs.
Can the chatbot handle sensitive logistics information securely?
Absolutely. Security is non-negotiable in trucking, where data like hazmat manifests or driver logs must comply with FMCSA standards. We encrypt all communications end-to-end and use role-based access to limit what the AI shares. For instance, it verifies user identity before disclosing shipment details, preventing unauthorized access. Our systems undergo regular audits, and we've built in features like audit trails for every query. Clients in regulated lanes report zero breaches since implementation. Unlike generic bots, ours is custom-coded to your compliance needs, ensuring peace of mind during cross-state hauls or international freight.
What happens when a query is too complex for the AI to handle?
Our chatbot is designed for context-aware escalation. If something like a multi-party claim or custom brokerage issue arises, it seamlessly hands off to your human team with full conversation history attached—no repetition needed. For example, during a recent rollout for a regional carrier, 75% of queries were resolved autonomously, while the rest transferred in under 30 seconds. We train it on your escalation protocols, so it knows when to involve dispatch for urgent reroutes or billing for detention disputes. Post-handover, you get analytics on why escalations occurred, helping refine the AI over time. This hybrid model keeps your support efficient without overwhelming staff.
How quickly can we see results after deployment?
Results kick in fast—often within the first week. We prioritize high-impact features like instant tracking responses, which can cut inquiry volume by 40% right away. A trucking client saw a 28% uptick in customer satisfaction scores in the first month, thanks to 24/7 availability during off-peak hours. Full ROI, including cost savings from reduced call handling, typically materializes in 4-6 weeks. We monitor metrics like resolution time and lead capture from day one, adjusting as needed. It's not just deployment; we optimize for your specific pain points, like seasonal surges in dry van demand, ensuring sustained efficiency gains.
Is this chatbot customizable for different types of trucking operations?
Yes, every solution is bespoke. For flatbed haulers, we emphasize weather-related query handling; for reefers, it's temp monitoring and spoilage alerts. We train on your data—contracts, routes, even regional lingo—to make responses feel native. A recent project for an OTR fleet customized it to integrate with load boards like DAT, auto-quoting based on your margins. No templates here; it's engineered to fit your workflow, whether you're running local box trucks or long-haul reefers. This tailoring boosts accuracy to 95%, far above generic options, and adapts as your business grows, like adding intermodal support.
What support do you provide after the chatbot is live?
Ongoing support is baked in. For the first 90 days, we offer weekly performance reviews, tweaking algorithms based on actual usage—like fine-tuning responses for peak holiday shipping. Beyond that, our maintenance package includes monthly updates to keep pace with industry changes, such as new ELD mandates. Clients get a dedicated portal for monitoring metrics and submitting feedback. In one case, we iteratively improved a bot's handling of accessorial charges, reducing escalations by 22% over six months. We're your long-term partner, ensuring the AI remains a reliable asset, not a set-it-and-forget-it tool.
