The "Lead Scatter" Problem

Leads vanishing in email inboxes while dispatchers juggle multiple freight bids on load boards like DAT and Truckstop

Manual follow-ups delaying driver hires during peak shipping seasons, such as Q4 holiday surges, leading to capacity shortages

Inconsistent tracking of shipper inquiries across multiple terminals and satellite offices, causing missed reefer or flatbed opportunities

Overloaded admins missing upsell opportunities on existing routes, such as backhaul add-ons for LTL shipments

Fragmented data causing errors in load board integrations with TMS systems and FMCSA compliance reporting for HOS logs

Delayed qualification of freight leads leading to unprofitable hauls, including deadhead miles and below-market lane rates

Unlock Efficiency in Your Lead Pipeline

Slash Response Times, Skyrocket Bookings

Slash Response Times, Skyrocket Bookings: Respond to freight inquiries in under 5 minutes instead of 48 hours. Our AI flags hot leads instantly, routing them to the right dispatcher via TMS integration. Trucking companies see a 35% uplift in booked loads within the first quarter, turning scattered emails into secured hauls on high-margin lanes like Chicago-to-Dallas routes.

Reclaim Hours for Core Operations

Reclaim Hours for Core Operations: Eliminate 20+ hours weekly spent on manual lead logging and chasing across load boards. Dispatch teams focus on optimizing routes, reducing deadhead miles, and improving fuel efficiency, not spreadsheets. ROI hits 4x in year one through reduced admin costs, higher load utilization rates, and 10-15% savings on diesel expenses.

Boost Conversion with Smart Qualification

Boost Conversion with Smart Qualification: AI analyzes lead data against your fleet's capacity, lane profitability metrics, and equipment availability (e.g., dry van vs. reefer), filtering out low-value inquiries. Expect 25% more qualified shippers and drivers, directly cutting empty miles by 15% and increasing per-mile revenue by 12% on core routes.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our leads were buried in voicemails and emails—we missed out on two major regional contracts for Midwest reefer hauls last summer. Now, the system auto-qualifies shippers by lane density and volume via DAT integration, and we've booked 40% more loads without adding staff. It's like having an extra dispatcher on the clock 24/7, especially during harvest peaks."

Mike Harlan

Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers Inc., serving IL-WI dairy routes

"We were losing OTR drivers to competitors because follow-ups took days amid driver shortages. Their custom AI integrated with our recruiting board and TMS like McLeod, cutting our time-to-hire from three weeks to five days. Hired 12 solid OTR drivers in Q2 alone, and empty backhauls dropped by 18% on East Coast lanes. Game-changer for our fleet utilization."

Sarah Kline

Talent Acquisition Director, CrossCountry Trucking LLC, specializing in cross-dock operations

"Manual lead tracking was killing our efficiency during harvest season—leads for ag hauls piled up on the Truckstop board, and we turned away profitable flatbed runs. AIQ's setup scores everything by urgency, margin, and equipment match, nurturing them automatically with SMS alerts. Saved us 15 hours a week, and revenue from repeat shippers jumped 28% year-over-year on grain corridors."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle leads from multiple load boards like DAT and Truckstop?

Our custom AI ingests leads from any load board via secure API connections, normalizing data like lane details, weight, and deadlines into your central system. It then scores them against your fleet's availability and margins—for instance, prioritizing refrigerated loads if that's your specialty. Unlike generic tools, we build filters specific to trucking variables, reducing false positives by 60%. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with full integration ensuring no lead falls through the cracks, even during surge periods like holiday shipping.

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

Based on our deployments, fleets with 50-200 trucks typically see a 4-6x ROI in the first year. This comes from cutting manual lead handling (saving 15-25 hours weekly at $30/hour) and boosting conversions by 30-40%, adding $200K+ in annual revenue from better load bookings. We track metrics like lead-to-haul conversion and empty mile reduction, adjusting the system quarterly. One client recouped their investment in just 3 months by filling backhauls that were previously ignored.

Is the system compliant with trucking regulations like FMCSA?

Absolutely. We embed compliance from the ground up, logging all lead interactions with timestamps, sources, and outcomes to meet ELD mandate standards. The AI avoids unsolicited outreach that could violate TCPA rules, and we include opt-out mechanisms for shippers. For driver recruitment leads, it adheres to EEOC guidelines by anonymizing demographics until qualified. Our engineers, with logistics backgrounds, ensure the build passes internal audits before deployment, sparing you fines that plague 20% of non-compliant ops.

How customizable is it for our specific routes and fleet types?

Fully tailored. We start by mapping your key lanes—say, Midwest to West Coast dry van runs—and train the AI on your historical data for accurate scoring. If you run flatbeds or hazmat, we adjust algorithms to factor in permits and restrictions. No one-size-fits-all; it's built around your workflow, integrating with your exact TMS. Clients report 25% higher lead quality because it ignores irrelevant inquiries, like short-haul spots for your long-haul fleet, streamlining everything from bid responses to driver assignments.

What happens if our lead volume spikes during peak seasons?

Our architecture is designed for scalability, handling 5x normal volume without lag—proven in deployments during Q4 rushes. AI processes leads in parallel, auto-escalating high-priority ones to your team via alerts. We include buffer capacity in the build, monitoring usage and optimizing on-the-fly. For example, one fleet processed 800 extra leads during harvest without missing a beat, converting 35% more than the prior year. Post-peak, we analyze data to refine for next season, ensuring consistent performance year-round.

Do I need technical staff to maintain this after launch?

No, we handle all maintenance as part of the ownership model. The system runs on secure, cloud-based infrastructure you control, with automated updates for AI improvements. Your team gets simple dashboards—no coding required. We provide 90 days of free support for tweaks, then optional low-cost monitoring. Trucking clients love this: one operations manager said it freed their IT guy from constant fixes, letting him focus on route optimizations instead of software headaches.
