Excited to announce the launch of automated carrier qualification as part of our AI broker-carrier conversation workflows, now integrated with McLeod Software's PowerBroker TMS. Having built Uber's background check automation systems, I saw firsthand the transformative power of optimizing critical funnel points. Scaling to millions of drivers required intense vetting, with each background check approval involving multiple layers of verification. The process was not only time-consuming but also costly. To address this at Uber, we optimized the funnel by ordering background checks strategically: federal checks were the cheapest and fastest, followed by state, and then county checks, which often required physical visits to county offices. By disqualifying up-funnel, we reduced the number of expensive and time-consuming checks needed later in the process. This approach saved Uber over $70M in the first year alone by automating the initial stages and leaving the most critical approvals for human review at the end. Similarly, in freight brokerage, every interaction in qualifying a carrier comes with a cost. Questions like "Do they have an available truck?", "Does the person truly represent the carrier?", and "Can the carrier meet the pickup time?" all take time, and time is money. Furthermore, revealing load details too early in the conversation can expose unnecessary risk to bad actors. With Capacity CoDriver, we’ve re-engineered the carrier and load qualification processes to occur at the start of the conversation. This means brokers engage with the best, most qualified carriers from the get-go, significantly improving load booking efficiency without compromising on carrier legitimacy. We’ve already seen a 2x increase in load volume productivity per rep, and we’re just getting started. By automating carrier qualification, brokers can now focus on what truly matters – building strong, reliable carrier relationships and scaling their operations efficiently. The integration with McLeod Software's PowerBroker TMS ensures seamless, real-time carrier verification, and market feedback, driving competitiveness and operational excellence. Here’s to setting new standards in the freight brokerage industry and empowering brokers with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive market.

To maintain consistency and stay organized, start a checklist of all of the expectations you need to communicate. 🔹 Make sure you speak to your carriers like the partners they are. Keep your tone collaborative., and your lines of communication open. Set a regular schedule to review, add to, and improve your processes. 🔹 Don’t just emphasize the general importance of tracking compliance with your drivers and carriers.
