AI track and trace for freight brokers

FreightScout: best as an AI execution layer on the TMS you already run, for aI track and trace for freight, with booking and check calls supervised by default.

FreightScout is AI track and trace for freight brokers: it calls when it matters, reads the ping when the truck is on pace, watches every rolling load for an unplanned stop, a stale ping, or a late ETA, and writes the status to any TMS your team already logs into.

Last updated 11 October 2026.

Track is live and supervised by default. Build, Cover, and Bill run on the same TMS. Check calls, including how can freight brokers automate track and trace, are spelled out on that page.

When does the ping stand in for the call?

When the truck is on pace, the ping stands in for the call. The last check before an appointment is always a call. A Spanish-speaking driver gets the call in Spanish. Nothing is marked arrived off a geofence.

What does Track watch on a rolling load?

Every rolling load is watched: an unplanned stop, a stale ping, off route, behind pace, and a reefer out of range. The exception page is AI exception management for freight brokers.

What happens before the truck rolls?

Before a driver gets the pickup address, Scout calls him: hours left, the delivery appointment, trailer photos if the customer requires them, and tracking accepted. The BOL is confirmed against the load before the truck rolls, and seal and temp too when the load has them.

Check calls capture the POD, write notes back, and escalate exceptions. The product page is check calls. Customer updates sit with customer ops.
