What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains That Drive Your Bottom Line
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks: Your dispatch team spends too much time sifting through resumes for CDL-endorsed drivers instead of optimizing last-mile routes. Our AI automates sourcing from FMCSA databases and screens for hazmat endorsements, saving <span class="gradient">15-20 hours per week</span> – time redirected to cut delivery delays by 25% during peak e-commerce seasons. Industry benchmarks from ATA reports show this boosts overall fleet productivity by 35% in high-volume LTL operations.
Achieve 3x ROI Through Faster, Smarter Hires
Achieve 3x ROI Through Faster, Smarter Hires: Manual processes inflate costs – think $5K per unfilled OTR driver role in lost revenue from idle trailers. We deliver <span class="gradient">60% faster time-to-hire</span> by matching candidates to specific lane requirements, yielding a 300% ROI within the first year. For a 50-truck fleet handling regional hauls, that's <span class="gradient">$100K+ saved</span> annually on demurrage fees, with hires 40% more likely to stay past six months due to better route familiarity.
Scale Recruiting Without Adding Headcount
Scale Recruiting Without Adding Headcount: As parcel volumes surge from e-commerce peaks, so do hiring needs for seasonal drivers – but not your overhead. Our system auto-scales for holiday rushes, integrating with your TMS and ELD systems to forecast gaps in reefer or dry van capacity. Clients report <span class="gradient">50% cost reduction</span> in third-party agency fees for temp drivers, turning recruiting from a bottleneck into a competitive edge like a streamlined intermodal supply chain.
What Clients Say
""We were hemorrhaging time posting ads for CDL-A van drivers during Black Friday rushes – easily 25 hours a week just sorting applications from non-local pools. AIQ Labs built us a system that pulls in candidates with regional route experience from FMCSA registries and auto-schedules interviews around DOT hours-of-service. Hired 12 drivers in two weeks last peak season, cut our LTL turnover by 30%, and saved us about $40K in temp agency fees for empty runs.""
Marcus Hale
Operations Director, SwiftParcel Logistics (50-truck regional fleet)
""Safety compliance was a nightmare; verifying CDL licenses, MVRs, and FMCSA violation records manually delayed every OTR hire by weeks. Their AI scans it all instantly from DOT databases and flags mismatches like expired hazmat endorsements before we waste time. We've filled 40 cross-dock routes faster than ever, and our CSA score improved with a 15% drop in incidents from better-matched drivers. It's like having an extra recruiter who never sleeps.""
Elena Torres
HR Manager, UrbanDash Deliveries (Urban last-mile parcel service)
""Coming from a fragmented setup of job boards, spreadsheets, and manual TMS updates, this unified AI tool integrated right into our dispatch software for real-time driver gap alerts. No more missed calls or double-bookings around ELD logs. We reduced time-to-hire from 45 days to 14 for flatbed hauls, and it's paid for itself in under six months through fewer detention fees on 200+ weekly loads.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the unique needs of last-mile drivers, like local knowledge?
Our custom AI is trained specifically on transportation data, prioritizing factors like geographic proximity to depots, familiarity with urban routes, and experience with e-commerce surges. Unlike generic tools, it cross-references resumes with your delivery zones via integrated GPS data. For instance, it scores higher for candidates who've worked similar van routes in your city. We've seen this reduce mismatched hires by 45% for clients, ensuring drivers hit the ground running without extensive training. The system evolves too – it learns from your successful placements to refine matches over time, delivering even better results quarter over quarter.
What kind of time savings can we expect in our recruiting process?
Last-mile companies typically waste 15-25 hours weekly on manual screening and scheduling amid high turnover. Our automation cuts this by 70%, reclaiming those hours for core ops like route optimization. Screening 100+ applications? Done in under 10 minutes. Scheduling interviews around shifts? Automated to avoid conflicts. Benchmarks from our logistics clients show a 60% drop in time-to-hire, from 30-45 days to 10-15. This translates to $30K-$60K annual savings per 20-driver team, factoring in reduced agency fees and overtime for existing staff. It's not just faster; it's strategically efficient.
Is this solution compliant with transportation regulations like FMCSA?
Absolutely – compliance is baked in from the start. We build automated checks for FMCSA requirements, including CDL verification, medical certs, and hours-of-service logs, pulling from official databases to flag issues instantly. No more manual audits that delay hires. For last-mile specifics, it ensures ELD familiarity and drug screening protocols. Our systems are audited to HIPAA and DOT standards, with encrypted data storage. Clients in regulated fleets report 90% faster compliance processing, avoiding fines that can hit $10K+ per violation. We customize to your state regs too, like California's AB5 for driver classification.
How do you integrate this with our existing fleet management software?
Integration is our specialty – we connect seamlessly with tools like Samsara, Motive, or your custom TMS via robust APIs, creating a single workflow. No brittle Zapier links that fail during peaks. For example, the AI pulls real-time data on open routes to prioritize urgent hires, then pushes new driver profiles directly into your system for instant assignment. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with zero downtime. Post-launch, it syncs bidirectionally: Hiring data informs fleet forecasts, and delivery metrics refine candidate scoring. This unified approach has helped clients eliminate data silos, boosting overall efficiency by 30%.
What if our hiring needs spike during holidays – can it scale?
Yes, our architecture is built for scalability, handling surges like Black Friday volume without hiccups. The AI auto-ramps sourcing from expanded pools, such as gig drivers or nearby carriers, while predicting needs based on your historical data and external factors like e-commerce trends. For a 100-driver fleet, it can process 500+ applications daily, screening and scheduling in real-time. We've supported clients through 2x seasonal increases, maintaining 95% uptime and delivering 50% more hires without added costs. It's like having an elastic supply chain for talent – flexible, reliable, and ready to expand.
Do you provide ongoing support after deployment?
We do – our partnership doesn't end at launch. Included is 6 months of optimization, where we monitor KPIs like hire quality and tweak algorithms based on your feedback. Monthly reviews ensure alignment with evolving needs, such as new route expansions. Beyond that, flexible support packages handle updates for regulatory changes or integrations. Clients appreciate this hands-on approach; one logistics firm saw retention improve 25% after our post-deploy refinements. You're not just getting software – you're gaining a dedicated team that keeps your recruiting engine humming efficiently.
