Dispatch lag of 14 minutes costs ~$180 per load
Dispatch lag of 14 minutes costs you $180 per load. Our agents answer in 23 seconds.
A dispatch agent that triages broker calls, parses rate sheets, quotes back inside 30 seconds, and logs everything to McLeod, AscendTMS or Truckstop while your dispatchers sleep.
Where the leakage is
Three problems every freight operator is paying for, whether they know it or not.
01
Dispatch lag on broker calls and load offers
Average mid-size broker loses 22 to 35% of attractive loads because the carrier-side dispatch is too slow to confirm. A 14-minute lag on a hot lane is a $180 to $310 margin hit per load. Multiply across 40 loads a week and you have a $400k annual margin leak nobody is tracking line-by-line.
02
Email triage on 4-party threads (carrier, broker, shipper, receiver)
Your dispatchers spend 3 to 5 hours a day reading and replying to 4-party email chains. Half are status-update boilerplate. The other half buries one real decision in a wall of CC'd reply-all. Zapier-built classifiers misread the CC field and route to the wrong party at least once a week.
03
Rate-sheet chaos, no historical lane intelligence
Every broker has a folder of 80 to 300 rate sheets in 12 different formats (PDF, XLSX, copied into email body). Quoting a new load means a dispatcher manually checking 3 to 5 sheets, then guessing on lane history. No real-time historical lane benchmark surfaces inside your TMS at the point of the quote.
The flagship system
Dispatch Agent for Freight & Logistics
A dispatch agent that picks up the load-offer call inside 23 seconds, pulls the relevant rate sheet and historical lane data in real time, confirms or counters with the broker, and logs the resulting booking straight to McLeod, AscendTMS or Truckstop. Your human dispatchers handle exceptions and relationships, not data entry.
- Voice agent picks up broker calls in 23 seconds median, 24/7
- Parses rate sheets in any format (PDF, XLSX, email body, scanned image) into a unified lane database
- Quotes against real historical lane data (your own + FreightWaves SONAR if subscribed)
- Books into McLeod, AscendTMS, Truckstop, or Tailwind TMS via API
- Hard-routes anything off-spec (oversize, hazmat, refrigerated cold-chain) to a human dispatcher
The three modules
Built in three layers. Buy them together, or ship one at a time.
Module 1
Voice Dispatch Agent
Live broker call handling, sub-30-second response on every load offer.
- Inbound voice agent on your dispatch line, 24/7 coverage including overnights
- Real-time rate-sheet and historical lane lookup during the call
- Confirms, counters or declines based on your configured margin rules
- Logs every call with audio + transcript to the TMS shipment record
Module 2
Email & EDI Triage
4-party thread parsing, CC-aware routing, voice-locked auto-replies.
- Reads multi-party email threads, identifies the actual decision-maker
- CC-field gate (the missing piece that broke every prior Zapier attempt)
- Drafts voice-locked replies in your dispatcher's tone
- Auto-sends only the safest 30% of replies; drafts the rest for human review
Module 3
Lane Intelligence & Rate History
Real-time historical lane data at the point of every quote.
- Ingests rate sheets in PDF, XLSX, email body, or scanned image (we OCR the scans)
- Builds unified lane database with rolling 90-day rate history per lane
- Surfaces lane benchmark inside the TMS at quote time
- Optional integration with FreightWaves SONAR, DAT RateView, Truckstop RateAnalysis

Why I'm the right person to fix this for your dispatch desk
The Lyon mining-logistics engagement is the proof point. We modeled freight email as a 5-variable problem (intent, sender role, thread depth, attachment posture, CC topology) instead of a one-step classify-and-reply, and the same approach is what makes the Dispatch Agent actually book loads instead of just transcribing calls.

FAQs for freight operators
Questions freight owners ask before booking.
Does this integrate with McLeod, AscendTMS and FreightWaves?+
Yes. McLeod LoadMaster has a stable SOAP + REST surface (older API but reliable). AscendTMS exposes a modern REST API. Truckstop has both a partner API and EDI options. Tailwind TMS is the cleanest of the four if you have a choice. FreightWaves SONAR and DAT RateView integrate as data sources for lane intelligence (you supply the subscription, we wire the lookup).
How does the voice agent handle hazmat, oversize or refrigerated loads?+
Hard-routes to a human, every time. The agent is configured to recognize the keywords (placard class, dimensions over LTL standard, temperature-controlled requirements) and instantly hand off to your on-call human dispatcher. Hazmat and oversize have too many regulatory edge cases for any AI to handle responsibly in 2026.
What if the agent quotes a bad rate?+
Three safeguards. First, margin rules are configured per lane and per trailer type before go-live; the agent cannot quote below your floor. Second, every quote logs to the TMS with the rationale (which rate sheet, which historical comparable). Third, the dispatcher gets a morning digest with every quote from the prior 24 hours flagged for spot-check.
Can it handle inbound calls and outbound calls?+
Both. Inbound is the default (broker calls in with a load offer, agent picks up). Outbound covers status updates to shippers and receivers, driver check-in calls, and load-confirmation outreach. We do not run cold-outreach calling from this agent; that is a separate engagement and a different regulatory surface (TCPA).
What about driver-side: Samsara, Geotab, KeepTruckin integrations?+
Read-side integrations available with Samsara, Geotab and Motive (formerly KeepTruckin). The agent can pull current driver HOS, current position, and ETA from these platforms at quote time to make accurate commitments. Write-side (dispatching to driver app) routes through your TMS, not direct to the ELD platform.
How long until I see ROI?+
Off-hours load capture shows up inside week 1 (most carriers book 2 to 6 net-new loads in the first 7 days that would have gone to a competitor). Email-triage time savings show up immediately. Margin gains from lane intelligence compound over 60 to 90 days as the unified rate-history database fills in.

Book a freight-specific audit. We pull a week of your dispatch logs, model the off-hours capture rate and the margin lift from lane intelligence, and tell you honestly whether this earns out inside 60 days.
