The Old Way of Dispatching

Traditional freight dispatch is a labor-intensive process. A dispatcher manually checks driver availability, calls to verify HOS status, looks at a map for proximity, and assigns loads based on experience alone. An experienced dispatcher manages 8-12 drivers effectively.

What AI Changes

AI makes dispatchers dramatically more effective by handling data-intensive tasks instantly:

  • Check HOS for every driver simultaneously
  • Calculate deadhead miles from GPS location to pickup
  • Verify equipment match automatically
  • Calculate driver cost and company profit per option
  • Return ranked recommendations with explanations
