Systems of record this works alongside
Starter workflows
Carrier vetting
On every new carrier signup, the agent pulls FMCSA SAFER, verifies insurance with the carrier's broker, checks IFTA filing cleanliness, runs the standard background, and flags the carriers that fail the screen.
Detention and accessorial recovery
Monitor the stop-time data on every load. When detention thresholds are crossed, the agent files the recovery claim with the broker or shipper, attaches the proof, and tracks payment.
IFTA quarterly filing prep
Per state per quarter, assemble the miles plus fuel data from the TMS, draft the IFTA return, and route for the dispatcher's approval before the deadline.
Driver onboarding compliance pack
MVR, drug screen, road test, ELD setup, hazmat endorsement, and the rest. The agent runs the chase, files the documents in the driver's qualification file, and surfaces the gaps before the driver hits the road.
Detention recovery, the workflow nobody runs because it is not worth the time
On a busy carrier, detention claims add up to five to fifteen percent of net revenue if they are filed cleanly. They mostly are not, because filing each claim takes the dispatcher fifteen minutes and the recovery rate is roughly forty percent. The math says the dispatcher should file every claim, but the math does not survive the day, and the carrier leaves the recovery on the table. The agent files every claim cleanly, and the recovery becomes the floor rather than the ceiling.
Frequently asked
Does this work with our TMS?
Yes for McLeod LoadMaster, TMW, Truckmate, and Tailwind on the standard adapter. Custom TMSes work through the standard import templates.
Can the agent file IFTA on our behalf?
Drafts the return and routes for the dispatcher's approval. The dispatcher files. The agent does not file regulatory documents on the customer's behalf without explicit per-document approval.
