What is FreightScout? The AI execution layer
FreightScout builds AI coworkers for freight brokerages. Scout runs the carrier calls, check calls, quoting and exceptions that eat a rep's day, on top of the broker's existing TMS, so the same team handles more freight. FreightScout is the AI execution layer for freight brokerages, built by people who ran one. It works on top of the TMS you already run: check calls, tracking updates, tender responses, load building, and carrier sourcing off the floor, plus the shippers and RFPs nobody had time for. Works on any TMS your team logs into, including McLeod, Aljex, and Tai, by API where one exists, and by reading the TMS in place where it doesn't. It reads and writes there where the brokerage grants access. Build, Cover, Track and Bill are all live, supervised. Booking and outreach are supervised by default and switchable to autopilot. Your A players spend the day selling.

Who built it
FreightScout comes from twelve years in the business and a freight brokerage agency scaled into nine figures. Founder and CEO Connor Miller. Every workflow exists because the team lived the problem, not software tourists guessing at your day. It runs on live freight at a working brokerage. Longer origin story: the founder.
What it does, in plain words
| Stage | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Win | Reads load history; finds shippers in your lanes; drafts outreach you approve |
| Price | Spot and contract off your lane cost history and current buy rates |
| Move | Builds the load off the tender; books carrier to max pay; runs check calls |
| Bill | POD in, invoice out, exceptions caught, payment chased (live and supervised, including invoicing and collections) |
| Keep | Tender-volume, cadence, and margin signals; save drafted before the RFP |
Ask your book anything. Scout answers with the datapoint, then drafts the email, logs the call, sets the follow-up. You approve. See Scout.

Questions people actually ask
What is FreightScout?
FreightScout is the AI execution layer for freight brokerages, built by people who ran one. It is the overlay on the TMS you already run. It takes check calls, tracking updates, tender responses, load building, and carrier sourcing off the floor, and works the shippers and RFPs nobody had time for, so your A-players spend the day selling.
Is FreightScout a TMS?
No. Your TMS (McLeod, Aljex, Tai, or any other) stays the system of record. FreightScout is a TMS overlay: it sits on it, works by API where one exists, and by reading the TMS in place where it doesn't. No rip-and-replace. Canonical overlay hub: Freight brokerage AI that sits on top of your TMS.
What does win, price, move, bill, keep mean in FreightScout?
Win: finds shippers in lanes you already run and drafts outreach you approve. Price: spot and contract off your lane cost history and current buy rates. Move: builds the load off the tender, books the carrier to your ceiling, runs check calls. Bill: POD in, invoice out, exceptions caught, payment chased (billing is live and supervised, including invoicing and collections). Keep: watches tender volume, cadence, and margin; drafts the save before the RFP.
Is FreightScout live?
Yes. Sales runs in production today. Build, Cover, Track, and Bill are all live and supervised on real freight today. Booking and outreach are supervised by default and switchable to autopilot. FreightScout cites 148,220 loads managed to date.
How does FreightScout autonomy work?
Autonomy is a dial you control: approve every send, or switch on full autopilot per team and per action. Start supervised. Hand over when you trust it. Reversible any time, full audit trail.
Who built FreightScout and who is it for?
Built by operators: Founder and CEO Connor Miller, twelve years in freight, a brokerage agency scaled into nine figures. For freight brokerages and agencies whose day runs through a TMS, tenders, routing guides, and check calls, not for shippers or carriers looking for loads.
