What is an AI agent for a TMS?
It is the worker on a job the TMS records. Build parses the tender and enters the load. Cover works the carriers that fit, up to your max pay. Track watches the truck and writes the status. Bill sends the invoice with the POD and chases the payment. A number over max pay goes to a person. FreightScout does not invent a rate.
What the layer costs, in the words on the pricing page, is freight software pricing. The buyer's page for the work itself is best freight broker software.
