The "Lead Drought" Problem
Manual prospecting drains dispatcher time on dead-end leads, averaging 15 hours weekly on unqualified brokers via fragmented email chains
Outdated load boards like DAT or Truckstop bury your team in low-margin spot market bids, with 70% rejection rates on under $2/mile rates
Fragmented data from emails, calls, and ELD logs creates quoting delays during peak seasons, delaying backhaul bookings by up to 48 hours
Missed opportunities with shippers seeking dedicated lanes you specialize in, such as temperature-controlled routes for produce from California to Chicago
Compliance headaches from unverified broker leads risking FMCSA violations, including $10K+ fines for authority mismatches or double-brokering
Seasonal volatility leaves flatbed haulers with empty backhauls after harvest peaks, resulting in 25% utilization drops in Q1 for ag freight
Our Tailored AI Lead Engine for Freight Carriers
With over a decade architecting logistics AI, we've streamlined lead gen for carriers handling everything from reefer routes to OTR dry van fleets.
Why Choose Us
We build a custom AI lead generation system from the ground up, scraping targeted sources like shipper directories and load platforms. It enriches data with carrier-specific filters—your equipment types, geographic lanes, and capacity windows. No more sifting through noise. This unified engine integrates directly with your TMS or CRM, turning raw prospects into actionable quotes. Like a precision GPS for business development, it navigates the chaos of freight sourcing to deliver leads that fit your workflow perfectly. We've seen carriers boost utilization rates by 25% in under six months.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Freight Growth Without the Chaos
Fill Your Loads with High-Margin Shippers
Fill Your Loads with High-Margin Shippers: Our system identifies brokers and direct shippers needing your exact services, like hazmat-certified reefers for Midwest routes or oversized flatbed loads from Texas oilfields. Carriers report 35% higher load acceptance rates within 30 days, turning seasonal slumps into steady revenue streams averaging $1.50+ per mile.
Cut Lead Acquisition Costs by 50%
Cut Lead Acquisition Costs by 50%: Ditch paid load board subscriptions like 360Load or Uber Freight that yield junk leads. Our custom AI automates sourcing from FMCSA databases and enrichment via carrier APIs, delivering verified contacts ready for outreach. One Midwest carrier saved $12K annually while doubling their contract wins from 5 to 10 per quarter.
Accelerate Quoting and Close Deals Faster
Accelerate Quoting and Close Deals Faster: Leads flow straight into your quoting tools like Truckstop TMS with pre-filled details on volume, frequency, lane specifics, and pallet counts. This shaves 4-6 hours off each bid cycle during peak seasons, helping fleets secure backhauls before competitors even respond, boosting win rates by 25%.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted two days a week chasing leads from outdated boards like DAT, often ending up with spot bids under $1.80/mile. Now, the custom system pulls in 20 solid prospects daily, tailored to our flatbed routes in the Southwest oil patch. We've locked in three new dedicated contracts since January for Permian Basin hauls, adding $150K to our quarterly revenue and filling 85% of backhauls."
Mike Reynolds
Operations Manager, Southwest Freight Haulers LLC
"As a small reefer carrier, we struggled with spot market volatility after California produce peaks, facing 30% empty miles on return trips. Their AI lead gen engine targets food shippers in our I-5 corridor lanes and verifies capacity needs upfront via EDI feeds. Implementation took just three weeks, and we're already seeing 40% more loads during off-peak months—no more empty runs back from the coasts, with average rates up to $2.20/mile."
Sarah Patel
Fleet Director, Pacific Produce Transports Inc.
"Generic tools couldn't handle our broker verification process amid rising double-brokering scams. AIQ built us a system that cross-checks FMCSA data, MC numbers, and scores leads by payment reliability using DAT credit reports. It's cut our bad debt losses in half from 8% to 4%, and our dispatchers love the clean integration with our McLeod TMS for seamless load tendering."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI ensure leads match our specific freight lanes and equipment?
We start by mapping your core operations—think dedicated routes from Chicago to Dallas with 53-foot reefers. The custom AI then scrapes sources using these parameters, cross-referencing with your capacity windows. It scores leads on fit, like a shipper needing temperature-controlled hauls under 500 miles. In testing with similar carriers, this precision cut irrelevant leads by 70%, focusing your team on high-match opportunities that align with your authority and avoid empty miles. Plus, we integrate feedback loops so the system learns from your accepted loads, refining over time for even better accuracy.
What makes this different from standard load boards like DAT?
Load boards are firehoses of spot market noise, often with 60% lowball bids that don't fit your fleet. Our AI builds a tailored engine that proactively sources contract-level shippers, enriches them with predictive analytics, and filters for your exact needs—like brokers seeking reliable OTR dry van for e-commerce fulfillment. It's not reactive posting; it's intelligent hunting. Carriers using our system see 40% fewer hours on manual searches and 25% higher utilization, because we unify it into your TMS without the subscription traps of boards.
How long does it take to see results after implementation?
Most freight companies start receiving qualified leads within two weeks of launch, once we've tuned the scrapers to your lanes. Full optimization hits at the one-month mark, with AI learning from your interactions to boost relevance. For example, a regional carrier we worked with went from 5 viable leads weekly to 25, securing two new contracts in the first quarter. We monitor daily and adjust, ensuring quick wins like filling backhauls during off-peak, while scaling to handle volume surges without downtime.
Is the system compliant with FMCSA regulations for lead verification?
Absolutely. We embed automated checks against FMCSA databases to verify broker authorities, insurance, and safety ratings right at ingestion. This flags risks like out-of-service carriers or unpaid claims before they hit your pipeline. Unlike generic tools, our custom build includes two-way data pulls for real-time updates, reducing exposure to fraud. A tanker fleet client avoided $50K in potential losses last year thanks to this layer, keeping their operations smooth and audit-ready amid rising DOT scrutiny.
Can this integrate with our existing transportation management system?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations with TMS platforms like TMW, Aljex, or Oracle. Our AI pushes enriched leads directly into your quoting module with pre-populated details—lane miles, commodity type, deadlines—eliminating manual entry. For a flatbed operator, this meant slashing quote times from 4 hours to 30 minutes per lead. We handle API complexities upfront, ensuring bidirectional sync so accepted loads update your dispatch board instantly, all while maintaining data security for sensitive freight info.
What if our freight business scales or changes routes seasonally?
Our systems are built scalable, using modular AI that adapts without rebuilds. For seasonal shifts, like increasing reefer demand in summer produce hauls, we reconfigure filters via a simple dashboard—no coding needed. We've supported carriers expanding from regional to national, handling 5x lead volume seamlessly. One client adjusted for harvest peaks and saw 30% revenue lift, with the engine forecasting needs based on historical data and market trends to keep your pipeline flowing year-round.
