Carrier

Hey, calling on that Dallas to Phoenix load you have posted. Is it still available?

Agent

It is. Dry van, 38,000 pounds, picks Thursday between seven and three, delivers Friday morning. What is your MC number?

Carrier

MC 903118. I have a truck coming empty in Fort Worth Wednesday night.

Agent

That is a great fit. Let me get you straight to the rep who has the rate on it. One second.

You post a load. Then you answer the same call forty times.

Every posting produces a wave of calls, and most of them are unqualified. Wrong equipment, wrong region, no truck for three days, or just rate shopping. Your rep takes them all anyway, because the one good carrier is somewhere in the pile and voicemail loses them. That is a terrible use of your best people, and it is the single easiest call type to automate because the first ninety seconds are identical every time.

What it handles

The first ninety seconds of every carrier call

Answers instantly, every time

No hold music, no queue, no voicemail at 7pm. Every carrier calling on a posted load gets a real answer in one ring.

Quotes the load from live data

Lane, equipment, weight, commodity, pickup window, and delivery appointment, read from the record rather than from a stale posting.

Captures and screens the carrier

Gets the MC number and where their truck actually is, so unqualified callers never reach your rep and good ones reach them immediately.

Warm transfer with context

Your rep answers already knowing the load, the MC, the truck location, and what the carrier is asking for.

Covers nights and weekends

Carriers plan their week on Sunday night. A brokerage that answers then covers freight that competitors do not.

Rate handling on your terms

By default it collects the offer and transfers rather than negotiating. If you want it working inside a defined rate band, that is a decision you make deliberately, not a default we ship.

Connected to your board

It knows which loads are still open

The reason generic answering services fail at carrier sales is that they have no idea what is on your board. This agent reads the live load record before it says a word, so it never quotes a load that covered an hour ago and never invents a detail that is not in your system. What it learns on the call goes back onto the load as a note your rep can see.

  • Reads open loads, equipment, weights, and appointment windows in real time
  • Confirms the load is still available before quoting details
  • Writes carrier interest, MC number, and truck location back as a note
  • Builds a record of who called on which lane, which is capacity intelligence you did not have before
  • Escalates by your rules, whether that is a transfer, a text, or a callback task

How it works

Live on your carrier line in about a week

01

Connect the board

Scoped API access so the agent always speaks from live load data instead of a stale export.

02

Set the qualification rules

We encode what makes a carrier worth transferring, using your standards, not a generic template.

03

Forward the line

Start with after-hours or overflow. Keep your number, change the forwarding whenever you want.

04

Review and widen

Listen to real carrier calls in week one, tune the script, then let it take more of the daytime volume.

Questions about carrier sales calls

Not unless you tell it to. The default is that it collects the carrier's number and transfers to your rep, because rate is where relationships and margin live. Some brokerages do define a band it can work inside for specific lanes, and that is a deliberate configuration decision, never a default.

It captures the MC number and can check it against whatever vetting source you already use, then apply your rules. We connect to the tools you have rather than asking you to buy another one.

It reads the live record at the start of the call. If the load is covered, the conversation goes a different direction, usually capturing the carrier's lane preferences and truck availability so you have real capacity data instead of a wasted call.

As many as come in. Every caller gets answered in parallel, which is the whole point on a Monday morning when you post twenty loads and every phone rings at the same time.

Some prefer it, because they get the lane details in fifteen seconds instead of waiting on hold. It identifies itself honestly when asked and transfers on request without an argument. The version carriers hate is the one that will not let them reach a person, so we do not build that.

No, it protects their time. They keep negotiating, building relationships, and covering hard freight. They stop repeating pickup windows to carriers who do not have a truck within 400 miles.
