Cut empty miles.
Match carriers in minutes.
HaulCortex analyzes your lane data, carrier capacity, and historical load patterns to route freight 31% more efficiently — without replacing your TMS.
Most brokers still route freight with spreadsheets and gut feel
Mid-market logistics brokers handle 50–500 loads per day. Their dispatchers spend 40 minutes per load on carrier outreach — calling down a list, waiting for responses, manually comparing rates against fuel surcharges and lane history.
HaulCortex plugs into your existing TMS and replaces that guesswork with ML-driven carrier scoring. Your dispatchers see ranked carrier options with estimated acceptance probability, historical performance scores, and real-time capacity signals — before they make the first call.

Three core modules, each targeting a different source of margin leak in freight brokerage operations.
Lane Optimization Engine
Analyzes historical load data, backhaul patterns, and seasonal demand curves to build a carrier score for each lane. When a new load drops, the system surfaces the three highest-probability carriers before your dispatcher opens the phone.
Dynamic Carrier Matching
Aggregates capacity signals from FMCSA registration data, ELD location feeds, and carrier operational zones to match available trucks with open loads. Reduces average carrier outreach from 6.2 calls to 1.8 per load.
Margin Intelligence Dashboard
Tracks load-level profitability, carrier cost trends, and fuel surcharge exposure across your active lanes. Surfaces which lanes are compressing margins and suggests rate floor adjustments before you lose money on the next tender.
TMS Integration Layer
Connects to McLeod, Turvo, AscendTMS, and custom TMS platforms via REST API and EDI 204/990 message formats. No forklift migration — your team keeps the same workflow while HaulCortex scores carriers in the background.
Carrier Risk Scoring
Monitors safety rating changes, authority revocations, and insurance lapse alerts across your carrier network. Each carrier gets a composite risk score updated weekly so your compliance team knows which relationships need review.
Automated Rate Benchmarking
Pulls DAT and Truckstop spot rate indices alongside your historical contracted rates to calculate market position per lane. Shows your dispatchers when a carrier quote is 14% above market before they accept it.
From load tender to carrier confirmation in under 10 minutes
Load Ingested
New load enters your TMS. HaulCortex pulls origin, destination, commodity type, weight, and required service level via API webhook in under 2 seconds.
Lane Model Runs
The routing model scores the lane against 18 months of historical data, current DAT spot rates, and real-time carrier capacity in your network.
Carriers Ranked
Top 5 carriers appear in your dispatcher's queue with acceptance probability, last-haul location, and rate estimate. No manual list-walking required.
Tender Sent, Load Covered
Dispatcher confirms the match. EDI 990 acceptance fires automatically. Load status updates in your TMS. Average wall-clock time from tender to covered: 8 minutes.
