From Missed Loads to Coordinated Movement
The 'Load-Ready Brief' — the moment a shipper inquiry is captured, qualified, and transformed into a structured brief — lane, weight, equipment, timing, and special requirements — before a dispatcher ever touches the phone.
Recommended starting point:Foundation Package
The Problem
Logistics, trucking, and transportation companies don't lose money because they lack trucks — they lose it in the Coordination Gap. Inbound freight inquiries come in while dispatchers are juggling drivers, routes, compliance checks, and last-minute changes. Brokers call after hours. Shippers submit quote requests without full details. Drivers text updates that never make it back into a system of record. Every missed call, delayed response, or unclear intake creates load decay — where profitable freight quietly goes to the competitor who responded first. Dispatch teams spend a massive amount of time acting as human routers: asking the same questions about lanes, weight, equipment type, chasing incomplete load details, manually relaying information between sales, dispatch, and drivers. Without a system to capture Load DNA upfront and route it correctly, companies scale chaos instead of throughput.

Where Most Carriers Start
Most logistics and transportation companies start with the Foundation Package, which installs the private infrastructure required to run Operator locally — ensuring sensitive shipper data, rate details, and routing logic stay off public cloud systems.
What's Included
- Operator Node (Mac Studio) — on-prem runtime (as scoped)
- OperatorOS activated (control plane app)
- Core Stack (Lite) included — baseline intake → routing → handoff loop
- One HQ deepened beyond Lite mode (e.g., Voice or Data/RAG)
What It Can Do
- Answer inbound inquiries 24/7, including after-hours freight requests
- Capture Load DNA: Origin/destination, equipment type (Dry Van, Reefer, Flatbed, etc.), weight & pallet count, pickup window & delivery urgency
- Route qualified load requests to dispatch or sales with a structured summary
What it intentionally does NOT include: Live rate negotiation or automatic load booking. Real-time ELD, GPS, or TMS integrations. Driver-facing task automation or compliance workflows. The Foundation Package stops missed loads — it does not yet optimize fleet intelligence.
Capability Expansion Path
HQ Pro for Logistics introduces niche-aware logic tailored to asset-based carriers, brokers, and hybrid fleets. Includes lane-aware routing, urgency triage (same-day/hot loads escalated automatically), and customer-type differentiation.
Dispatch stops reacting — it starts prioritizing.
Operator HQ represents the Full Operations Sync. The Core Stack operate as a single system. For logistics companies, this typically includes:
Data HQ identifies repeat shippers and preferred lanes. Ops HQ tracks response speed and load acceptance patterns. Operator becomes a central nervous system for freight movement.
Custom Operator is the 'Fleet Command' System — designed for multi-terminal carriers, large brokerages, or specialized fleets (oversize, hazmat, temperature-controlled).
This includes private RAG over internal SOPs, lane history, and pricing logic. Vision-based document intake (BOLs, rate confirmations). Custom dashboards for load velocity, acceptance rate, and response time. This is not a template — it is built around how that transportation business actually runs.
Every tier reduces the Coordination Gap — higher tiers add lane intelligence, urgency triage, and ultimately full-fleet control.
Outcomes (Modeled / Typical)
Practices deploying Operator may experience:
Outcomes vary by deployment level and configuration.
Pricing Notes
Packages cap scope, not capability.
Operator does not negotiate rates, book loads, or provide live ELD/GPS integration unless explicitly configured. Capabilities depend on deployment, configuration, and existing systems.
Examples only. Capabilities vary by scope, data quality, and integrations. Not legal, medical, or financial advice.
