The "Lead Drought" Problem
Manual prospecting for backhauls consumes 4-6 hours daily per dispatcher, leaving reefer trailers idling while perishable freight deadlines loom
Outdated load board data overwhelms with spot market bids for low-margin LTL shipments that mismatch your flatbed or dry van capacity
Competitors secure dedicated lane contracts using real-time TMS-integrated shipper insights, while you rely on outdated broker directories
Seasonal surges in produce or retail freight leave your OTR fleet underutilized without AI-driven predictive leads for harvest or holiday peaks
Fragmented TMS and CRM entries from cold calls to 3PL brokers waste hours qualifying leads that ignore your HAZMAT certifications or lane restrictions
Escalating diesel prices exacerbate deadhead miles from poor lead quality, turning a 500-mile empty repositioning into $800+ in unrecouped fuel costs
Our Tailored AI Lead Generation Built for Your Trucking Operations
With over a decade architecting AI for logistics giants, we've honed systems that cut through industry noise—proven to increase lead volume by 300% for carriers facing volatile freight markets.
Why Choose Us
Generic lead gen tools treat trucking like any business, ignoring your unique challenges: fluctuating rates, lane-specific demands, and the need for instant capacity matches. We build custom AI engines from the ground up, scraping targeted sources like DAT and Truckstop for ideal shippers. These systems enrich leads with real-time data on cargo types, volumes, and timelines, integrating seamlessly into your dispatch software. No more sifting through irrelevant postings. Instead, get a unified dashboard that predicts hot lanes and automates outreach, ensuring your trucks roll with profitable loads. It's efficiency engineered for the road ahead.
What Makes Us Different:
Transform Your Lead Flow into a Revenue Engine
Fill Deadhead Miles with Precision Leads
Fill Deadhead Miles with Precision Leads: Our AI scans DAT and Truckstop load boards to identify shippers in your primary lanes like I-80 corridors, reducing empty backhauls by up to 40% within 90 days. Imagine converting those costly dry van return trips from Chicago to Denver into full-paying refrigerated loads—directly boosting your on-time delivery (OTD) rates above 95% and bottom line by 25%.
Scale Capacity Without Adding Headcount
Scale Capacity Without Adding Headcount: Automate prospecting for 3PL brokers and direct shippers via API integrations with your ELD systems, generating 2-3x more qualified opportunities in under 30 days. Carriers using our system report 25% higher equipment utilization during Q4 peak seasons, allowing dispatchers to prioritize load tendering and compliance over manual hunting.
Outpace Rivals with Predictive Insights
Outpace Rivals with Predictive Insights: Leverage AI forecasts on freight trends from sources like SONAR data to bid first on high-value FTL contracts in emerging lanes. This edge has helped fleets secure 15% more premium loads within six months, minimizing exposure to volatile spot rates and stabilizing cash flow amid fluctuating bunker fuel prices.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were sifting through load boards for leads that rarely matched our 53-foot reefer trailers hauling Midwest produce. Their custom AI system integrated with our TMS to pull in 60 vetted shipper contacts last quarter, landing us three dedicated contracts out of Kansas City terminals. Our fleet utilization jumped from 72% to 89% in just two months—no extra drivers or overtime required."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Heartland Freightways
"With diesel at $5/gallon, fuel costs were crushing us on dry van runs with excessive deadhead from Phoenix to Dallas. The AI lead gen they built scans Truckstop for flatbed opportunities in our Southwest lanes and flags urgent HAZMAT hauls with 24-hour tenders. We've slashed deadhead by 35% and closed $150K in new spot market business since rollout three months ago—it's like having a dedicated broker without the commissions."
Sarah Ruiz
Fleet Director, Desert Haul Logistics
"Off-the-shelf tools flooded us with junk leads unsuitable for our dry van fleet running Midwest intermodal routes. AIQ's tailored setup syncs with our McLeod TMS, enriching leads with shipment volumes, lane densities, and 48-hour delivery deadlines. In the first three months, we locked in backhauls from Detroit to Chicago that saved 20 driver hours per truck weekly, transforming our overall efficiency metrics."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the variability of freight rates and lanes?
We customize the AI to analyze historical rate data from sources like Carrier411, factoring in your specific lanes and equipment types. For instance, if you're running OTR dry vans in the Midwest, the system predicts rate fluctuations based on fuel trends and demand signals, scoring leads to favor high-margin opportunities. This isn't guesswork—our models achieve 85% accuracy in forecasting viable loads, helping you avoid lowball bids. Over time, we refine it with your bid outcomes, ensuring it adapts to market shifts like those during harvest season. Clients see a 20% uplift in average rate per mile within the first quarter.
What makes this different from using load boards like DAT?
Load boards overwhelm with volume but lack personalization—truckers waste hours filtering mismatches. Our custom AI proactively scrapes and enriches those boards, plus niche sources, to deliver only leads fitting your capacity, like refrigerated for food hauls. It integrates directly into your workflow, automating bid submissions and follow-ups. Where DAT might show 500 posts daily, we curate 50 high-fit ones, enriched with shipper history. This targeted approach has doubled conversion rates for our trucking partners, turning passive browsing into active revenue streams without the daily grind.
How quickly can we see leads after implementation?
Deployment takes 4-6 weeks, including mapping your operations and building the engine. From launch, leads start flowing within 48 hours as the AI scans sources in real-time. For a mid-sized fleet, expect 20-30 qualified prospects weekly initially, scaling to 50+ as we optimize. We include a ramp-up phase with manual oversight to ensure quality, like verifying enrichment on broker credentials. One carrier went from zero inbound leads to booking five loads in the first week, all matched to their empty return lanes—proving our system's speed in high-stakes trucking environments.
Is this solution compliant with trucking regulations like FMCSA?
Absolutely. We embed compliance checks into the AI from the start, filtering leads for authority matches, HAZMAT certifications, and hours-of-service alignment. For example, the system flags loads requiring specific endorsements before enrichment. Our builds adhere to data privacy standards like GDPR for international shippers and integrate with ELD providers for seamless logging. We've audited systems for carriers facing DOT audits, ensuring no regulatory blind spots. This peace of mind lets you focus on hauling, not paperwork—our clients report zero compliance issues post-implementation.
Can it integrate with our existing dispatch software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like TMW, McLeod, or even custom ERPs. The AI pushes enriched leads directly to your dispatch board, auto-populating details like pickup times and weights. No more rekeying data between apps. For a recent project, we synced with a client's Samsara system to overlay lead data on GPS routes, optimizing bids in real-time. Setup involves API mapping during discovery, tested rigorously to handle peak volumes without downtime. This unification cuts errors by 90%, streamlining your entire operation from lead to delivery.
What if our fleet size changes—does the system scale?
Built on enterprise-grade frameworks, our AI scales effortlessly with your growth. Whether adding five trucks or 50, the system auto-adjusts scraping volume and processing power. Core architecture uses modular code, so expanding lanes or equipment types is a quick reconfiguration, not a rebuild. A client grew from 25 to 75 rigs mid-year; we scaled leads accordingly without service interruptions, maintaining 95% uptime. Ongoing support includes quarterly reviews to align with expansions, ensuring you never outgrow the tool—it's designed for the dynamic trucking landscape.
