The "Driver Shortage" Problem
Manual sourcing of CDL-A drivers drains 10-15 hours weekly from overburdened dispatch teams coordinating OTR and regional hauls
Inaccurate screening of hazmat endorsements leads to 40% turnover in regional hauling roles, disrupting delivery schedules
Delayed FMCSA and DOT compliance checks on driver logs expose fleets to violations, fines up to $15,000 per incident, and CSA score penalties
Fragmented applicant tracking for reefer and dry van drivers scatters data across emails, spreadsheets, and TMS platforms
Seasonal demand spikes for flatbed haulers overwhelm recruiters, leaving LTL loads uncovered during harvest or holiday rushes
Biased manual interviews overlook diverse talent with TWIC cards for long-haul routes across port-to-port corridors

Achieve 4x ROI in Year One: For every dollar invested, expect $4 back through 25% lower driver turnover and 50% faster CDL fills. Trucking firms using our system report $150,000+ annual savings by ditching agency fees for reefer and flatbed specialists, with payback in under 90 days via reduced empty backhauls.
Boost Retention with Smarter Matches
Boost Retention with Smarter Matches: AI analyzes driver MVRs against your fleet's CSA scores and route patterns like I-80 corridors, reducing mismatch hires by 40%. This cuts early quits in regional runs, stabilizes dedicated lane schedules, and drops retraining expenses by 30%—ensuring 95% on-time delivery rates for your supply chain.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our dispatchers wasted Fridays sifting through resumes for hazmat-certified drivers, costing us two key Midwest routes to shortages last quarter. Now, the AI auto-screens for tanker endorsements via FMCSA integration, and we've onboarded five reliable OTR drivers in just 25 days. It's halved our hiring time while keeping ELD compliance spot-on—no disruptions to our 500-mile hauls."
Mike Reynolds
Fleet Operations Manager, Horizon Freight Lines (Midwest Regional Carrier)
"We were drowning in Indeed, LinkedIn, and Excel chaos for local CDL hires during Q4 peak—losing loads to understaffing. AIQ's system synced with our TMS in 24 hours and pulled in qualified reefer drivers from targeted pools. Turnover plunged from 35% to 18% in six months; it's like an always-on recruiter who handles IFTA reporting too, saving us $80K in overtime."
Sarah Patel
Talent Acquisition Director, Swift Trans Logistics (National LTL Provider)
"Manual MVR and PSP checks were a nightmare with DOT regs—two $10K fines hit us last year from delays on cross-border runs. AIQ's real-time automation verifies CSA scores and TWIC status instantly, filling 12 regional spots with flatbed experts since launch. ROI kicked in at 75 days; ditched our old vendor mess and cut violation risks by 50%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle the unique challenges of recruiting OTR drivers?
Our system is purpose-built for trucking realities. It scans niche sources for over-the-road specialists, factoring in variables like willingness for 3-week hauls and fuel efficiency preferences. AI then matches against your backhauls and deadhead minimization needs, using historical data to predict fit. For instance, it prioritizes drivers with reefer experience if your fleet runs perishables. This targeted approach has helped clients reduce mismatched hires by 45%, ensuring drivers stick around longer and your loads stay on schedule. We customize the model during discovery to reflect your exact routes and turnover patterns, delivering efficiency without the guesswork of generic tools.
What integrations do you support for our existing logistics software?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations tailored to transportation stacks. Common ones include TMS like McLeod or Oracle Transportation Management for pulling vacancy data, HRIS such as UKG or ADP for employee records, and compliance tools like ClearStar for background checks. Our custom APIs ensure real-time sync—no more manual exports from Excel to your dispatch system. For a recent trucking client, we linked their Samsara ELD data directly to the AI, auto-flagging drivers whose logs show safe habits. This creates a single source of truth, cutting errors by 70% and saving hours on data reconciliation. If your setup is unique, we audit and build accordingly.
How secure is the AI when dealing with sensitive driver data like SSNs and medical certs?
Security is non-negotiable in logistics, where breaches can trigger DOT audits. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data at rest and in transit, compliant with HIPAA for medical info and SOC 2 standards. Access is role-based—fleet managers see anonymized profiles until verification. Our system logs all actions for audit trails, essential for FMCSA reporting. Unlike cloud-heavy no-code platforms, our owned architecture keeps data on your servers or secure AWS instances you control. A mid-sized carrier we worked with passed their annual cyber audit flawlessly post-implementation, avoiding $50K in potential fines. We also conduct quarterly vulnerability scans to stay ahead of threats.
Can this scale if our fleet grows from 50 to 200 trucks next year?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our engineering. Built on robust frameworks like Python with FastAPI, our systems handle 10x applicant volume without performance dips. For a growing regional hauler, we started with 30 hires quarterly and scaled to 150 seamlessly, auto-adjusting for peak seasons like holiday surges. The AI learns from your data, improving match accuracy over time to manage increased demand. No need for add-ons or vendor switches; it's designed as a future-proof asset. We include load testing in deployment to simulate your growth scenarios, ensuring smooth operations as you expand routes or acquire new depots.
What's the typical timeline and cost for implementation?
Timelines vary by complexity but average 6-8 weeks for a full custom build: 2 weeks discovery, 3-4 weeks development and integration, 1-2 weeks testing and training. Costs start at $25,000 for SMB fleets, scaling with features like advanced predictive analytics—far below ongoing agency fees of $100K+ yearly. ROI kicks in fast; clients recoup via 20-30% hiring cost reductions. For example, a 100-truck operation saw payback in 4 months through faster fills. We provide a detailed quote post-audit, with flexible payment tied to milestones, ensuring transparency and alignment with your cash flow cycles in the volatile logistics market.
How do you ensure the AI reduces bias in driver selection?
Bias mitigation is embedded in our process. We train models on anonymized, diverse datasets reflecting trucking's demographics, using techniques like adversarial debiasing to flag and correct imbalances in gender, ethnicity, or age. For instance, the AI scores purely on verifiable skills—DOT hours, accident rates—ignoring proxies like names or zip codes. Post-launch, we audit outputs quarterly, adjusting for your fleet's needs, like prioritizing women in local routes to boost inclusion. A client in the Southeast saw their female driver hires rise 25% without quality drops, improving team morale and retention. This isn't add-on compliance; it's proactive design for fair, effective recruiting that strengthens your entire operation.
