Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Outreach

Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Outreach for Spot Market Bids: Dispatchers and sales teams spend endless hours chasing leads via email and calls across load boards. Our custom AI handles segmentation by lane density and follow-ups automatically, freeing your crew to focus on securing high-margin reefer loads. Industry benchmarks from the ATA show logistics firms gain 35% productivity boosts, turning wasted time into revenue-generating dedicated routes with 20% higher margins.

Achieve 4x ROI Through Precision Targeting

Achieve 4x ROI Through Precision Targeting of Shipper Lanes: Generic blasts miss the mark in competitive spot freight markets. We craft AI models that predict shipper needs based on historical TMS data, delivering personalized campaigns for reefer or flatbed opportunities in high-demand corridors like I-80. Clients report 40% higher conversion rates on RFQs, with payback in under 90 days—proven by our track record with mid-sized 3PLs handling 500+ loads monthly.

Streamline Compliance and Scale Effortlessly

Streamline FMCSA Compliance and Scale Effortlessly for Interstate Campaigns: Navigating DOT regs and state-specific rules like ELD mandates slows marketing. Our systems embed automated compliance checks into automations, ensuring every email or ad for cross-border loads stays legal while scaling to thousands of carrier prospects. This efficiency focus cuts error-related fines by 50% and audit delays by 30 days, boosting your bottom line without the headache of manual reviews.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, our team was buried in spreadsheets tracking shipper RFQs from DAT load boards—easily 12 hours a week gone on manual follow-ups for Midwest reefer lanes. Now, the automation handles RFQ responses and lane-specific emails, and we've booked 25% more loads from repeat ag shippers in just three months, adding $150K in quarterly revenue. It's like having an extra sales rep who never sleeps."

Mike Harlan

Operations Director, Midwest Freight Haulers (53-truck reefer fleet based in Chicago)

"We struggled with seasonal spikes in dry van demand during holiday peaks, but manual nurturing meant losing out to bigger players on backhaul opportunities from East Coast ports. AIQ built a system that segments our leads by IMAP lane profitability and automates personalized outreach. Last quarter, our marketing ROI hit 350%, and we filled 15% more backhauls without adding headcount, reducing empty miles by 12%."

Sarah Kline

Marketing Lead, Eastern Logistics Partners (Brokerage serving 200+ carriers in the Northeast)

"Integrating with our TMS like McLeod was a nightmare with other tools—constant breaks during Q4 peak shipping seasons. AIQ's custom setup runs flawlessly, automating carrier recruitment emails based on real-time capacity data from Truckstop. We've reduced empty miles by 18% on flatbed routes and cut ad waste in half for tanker spot bids, saving $75K annually. Solid work from a team that gets the freight game."

Tom Reyes

VP of Business Development, Apex Trucking Co. (150-truck fleet specializing in hazmat and oversize)

Common Questions

How does your marketing automation integrate with my existing TMS?

We start by auditing your TMS, whether it's TMW or Aljex, to build custom APIs that sync data in real-time. For instance, when a new load posts, our AI automatically triggers targeted emails to matching shippers. This eliminates manual exports and ensures your marketing aligns with operational realities. Unlike generic tools, our integrations are two-way and robust, handling high-volume freight data without latency. Clients see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate gains in response times—typically cutting delays from days to hours. It's all custom-coded for your workflow, so no disruptions during implementation.

What kind of ROI can freight companies expect from this?

Based on our deployments, mid-sized carriers achieve 3-5x ROI within the first year, primarily through higher load bookings and reduced manual labor. For example, automating follow-ups on RFQs alone can boost conversions by 35%, turning overlooked opportunities into $50K+ in annual revenue per route. We track this via custom KPIs like cost-per-lead and load utilization rates. Efficiency gains compound: save 15 hours weekly on outreach, redirecting staff to high-value tasks. Our systems are proven in volatile markets, where benchmarks show 25-40% reductions in empty miles from better-targeted marketing.

Is this suitable for small freight brokers with limited tech resources?

Absolutely—our solutions are designed for SMBs like 10-50 employee brokers handling regional LTL or FTL. We handle the heavy lifting, building intuitive interfaces that don't require IT expertise. A recent client, a 20-truck operation, integrated our automation with their basic CRM and saw 28% more inbound leads without adding staff. Setup includes hands-on training, and we provide ongoing tweaks. It's not overwhelming; think of it as a co-pilot for your marketing, scaling from 100 to 1,000 shipper contacts effortlessly while keeping costs 40% below stacked subscriptions.

How do you ensure compliance in logistics marketing?

Compliance is baked in from the ground up. We embed rules for FMCSA guidelines, CAN-SPAM, and state-specific regs into every automation workflow. For freight, this means auto-flagging emails for interstate hauls or opting out of sensitive data shares. Our AI scans content before dispatch, reducing risk by 70% compared to manual processes. We've worked with carriers facing DOT audits, ensuring all campaigns log consents and track opens securely. This isn't an add-on; it's core to our enterprise-grade builds, giving you peace of mind while focusing on growing your book of business.

Can this automation handle seasonal freight fluctuations?

Yes, our AI models are trained on historical data to anticipate peaks like holiday surges or ag shipments. We customize triggers—for instance, ramping up reefer-focused campaigns in harvest season based on your past load patterns. This predictive approach has helped clients fill 20% more capacity during off-peak lulls by nurturing dormant leads. The system adapts dynamically, using real-time inputs from load boards to prioritize hot lanes. Deployment is flexible, with A/B testing to refine timing, ensuring your marketing engine idles efficiently and revs when demand spikes—delivering consistent ROI year-round.

What makes your solution different from tools like HubSpot for freight?

HubSpot is great for general marketing but lacks the depth for logistics specifics like TMS syncing or lane-based personalization. We build custom AI from scratch, integrating directly with your freight ecosystem—no brittle Zapier hacks. For example, our systems score leads by profitability per mile, not just engagement, leading to 40% better targeting. You're not renting a platform; you own a tailored asset that scales without usage fees spiking during busy seasons. Our engineering background ensures reliability in high-stakes ops, where downtime costs loads. Clients switch to us for that ownership and precision, seeing 2x faster implementation than adapting generic tools.
