Every load means quotes, carrier setup, rate confirmations, check calls, PODs, and invoicing — most of it living in inboxes and re-typed into your TMS. We map where your reps’ hours actually go and build AI that raises loads-per-rep without raising headcount.
Onboarding a new carrier means collecting the packet, checking authority and insurance, verifying against FMCSA data, and watching for the fraud patterns that are everywhere right now. We build setup workflows that gather documents, run the verification checks, flag red flags for human review, and load clean carriers into your TMS — McLeod, Aljex, Tai, whatever you run — fast enough to cover the load you’re actually trying to move today.
Reps spend hours a day asking drivers where they are. We build tracking workflows that chase check calls automatically, parse the responses, update the TMS, and escalate only genuine exceptions — late risk, breakdowns, silence — to a human. Your reps manage problems, not pings.
Spot quotes are won in minutes. We build quoting assistance that reads incoming requests, checks lane history and current market data from DAT or Truckstop, drafts the response for review, and gets it out while it still matters.
Rate cons, BOLs, PODs, lumper receipts — matched to loads, checked for completeness, and pushed toward invoicing automatically, so billing doesn’t wait on someone finding an attachment. Faster PODs mean faster invoices mean better cash flow.
We start with an operations audit: 1–2 weeks inside your workflows, ending with a prioritised map of where AI actually pays off and what each opportunity is worth. Audits run $2,500–$5,000 depending on size. Builds are scoped and priced before any work begins — most land between $8,000 and $25,000 and take 3–6 weeks. No hourly billing, no surprises.

Lane pricing, customer margins, and carrier relationships are the whole business. We design systems where your data stays in your tools, is never retained by third-party AI providers or used for model training, and anything involving money or commitments — quotes, rate cons, carrier approval — keeps a human sign-off. Documented in writing as part of every engagement.
Cerebrum is led by a former CTO of a VC-backed startup who has designed, shipped, and scaled production AI systems. We’re tech-agnostic — no reseller kickbacks, no pushing the tool that’s easiest to sell. We build it, deploy it, and stay until your team runs it confidently without us.
Engagements start with a 1–2 week operations audit of your load lifecycle ($2,500–$5,000). Builds are scoped and priced before work begins and typically run $8,000–$25,000, delivered in 3–6 weeks.
Yes — carrier setup, tracking, and document workflows are built on your TMS, not against it.
No. Verification checks and drafting are automated; anything involving money or commitments — carrier approval, quotes, rate cons — keeps a human sign-off by design.
