Tailored AI Scheduling Built for Your Freight Operations
With over a decade of experience optimizing logistics for SMB carriers, we've delivered enterprise-grade solutions that handle 10,000+ daily dispatches without a hitch.
Why Choose Us
We don't push cookie-cutter software. Instead, AIQ Labs crafts a bespoke AI system that mirrors your freight workflow— from dock scheduling to cross-country hauls. Think of it as your personal air traffic control for trucks: predicting delays before they happen, balancing loads like a seasoned dispatcher, and adapting in real-time to keep your fleet humming. Our approach starts with mapping your exact pain points, then builds a unified platform that integrates with your TMS, ELD, and GPS data for seamless, error-free operations.
What Makes Us Different:
Proven Efficiency Gains for Freight Leaders
Maximize Fleet Utilization
Maximize Fleet Utilization: Our custom AI eliminates deadhead miles and optimizes backhauls, boosting asset utilization by up to 35%. For a mid-sized LTL carrier with 50 reefers, that's an extra $450,000 in annual revenue from smarter scheduling—no more guessing games with freight pairings during peak seasons.
Slash Operational Costs
Slash Operational Costs: Reduce overtime and detention fees by 50% through automated driver assignments synced with ELD data. Imagine rerouting around I-95 traffic jams automatically via GPS integration, saving 20% on diesel fuel while hitting every POD deadline—real results from carriers we've transformed in under six months.
Enhance Customer Satisfaction
Enhance Customer Satisfaction: Deliver 95% on-time performance with real-time updates via TMS-integrated APIs for ETAs. Customers get accurate arrival notifications for hazmat loads, reducing complaints by 70% and opening doors to premium refrigerated freight contracts—your edge in a competitive over-the-road market.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our dispatchers spent hours juggling Excel spreadsheets for OTR routes, and we were hemorrhaging money on detention fees from delays. Now, the custom TMS flags ELD conflicts instantly, and our on-time POD rate jumped from 72% to 97% in just three months. It's like having an extra dispatcher who never sleeps during peak holiday volumes."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Haulers
"We handle seasonal peaks with 30 flatbed trailers, but forecasting was a nightmare—constant underloads on backhauls. Their AI analyzes our historical load board patterns and suggests perfect carrier pairings. Last quarter, we cut empty miles by 28%, adding $120K to the bottom line without hiring more staff or expanding the yard."
Sarah Kline
Fleet Director, Eastern Logistics Partners
"Compliance violations were killing us with ELD and DVIR mismatches on cross-country runs. AIQ built a scheduler that syncs HOS logs automatically with weather rerouting, and we've had zero CSA violations since rollout six months ago. Plus, drivers love the mobile app's real-time ETA updates—morale is up, turnover down 15% even in a tight labor market."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your scheduling solution handle sudden disruptions like vehicle breakdowns?
Our custom AI system is designed with resilience in mind. It continuously monitors fleet status through ELD integrations and GPS feeds. When a breakdown occurs, the algorithm instantly reassigns loads to available drivers, recalculates routes, and notifies all stakeholders via automated alerts. For instance, in a pilot with a 40-truck fleet, this feature reduced downtime impacts by 55%, keeping 92% of schedules on track. We train the model on your specific disruption history—think weather events or maintenance patterns—to predict and mitigate issues proactively, ensuring your operations stay fluid without manual intervention.
Can this be integrated with our existing TMS software?
Absolutely. AIQ Labs specializes in deep, custom integrations that go beyond surface-level APIs. We map your TMS data flows—whether it's Oracle, SAP, or a niche provider like McLeod—and build bidirectional connections for seamless data exchange. This means schedules update in real-time across systems, eliminating double-entry errors that plague 70% of freight ops. In one case, we synced a client's TMS with our AI scheduler, cutting data discrepancies by 80% and saving dispatchers 15 hours weekly. Your setup stays intact; we enhance it with AI smarts tailored to your workflow.
What kind of ROI can a freight company expect from this service?
Freight carriers typically see a 3-5x ROI within the first year. By optimizing schedules, we reduce empty miles by 25-40%, directly boosting revenue while trimming fuel and labor costs by up to 30%. For a $10M revenue operation with 50 trucks, that's often $300K-$500K in savings. Our track record includes a regional hauler that recouped their investment in four months through higher utilization and fewer detentions. We provide detailed projections during discovery, based on your data, and track metrics post-launch to ensure sustained gains.
Is the system compliant with FMCSA regulations?
Yes, full compliance is baked in from the ground up. Our AI enforces Hours-of-Service rules by cross-referencing ELD data, flagging violations before assignments, and generating audit-ready reports. We've built similar systems for carriers under strict DOT scrutiny, incorporating features like automatic logbook syncing and rest period predictions. This not only avoids fines—averaging $15K per incident—but also streamlines IFTA reporting. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom build adapts to your specific routes and driver profiles for airtight adherence.
How long does it take to implement the custom scheduling solution?
Implementation typically spans 8-12 weeks, depending on your fleet size and integration complexity. Week 1-2: Deep dive into your operations. Weeks 3-6: Design and development of the AI core. Weeks 7-8: Testing with simulated loads to iron out kinks. Then, a phased rollout starts with 20% of your fleet, scaling to full deployment. For a 30-truck carrier, we went live in 9 weeks, with minimal disruption. Post-launch, we offer 4 weeks of optimization to hit peak performance, ensuring your team is fully trained and confident.
Will this replace our current dispatch team?
No, our goal is empowerment, not replacement. The AI handles repetitive tasks like initial route plotting and conflict detection, freeing dispatchers for high-value decisions like customer negotiations or exception handling. In fact, clients report a 35% productivity boost for their teams, with dispatchers focusing on strategy rather than spreadsheets. One carrier saw turnover drop 20% because staff felt more effective. We design the interface intuitively, with training to make your team the heroes of efficient operations.
