Navigating Market Volatility with Real-Time Intelligence

Are you leaving money on the table with static freight quotes?

In the fast-paced world of freight brokerage, pricing isn't just a numbers game—it's a strategic battleground. Yet most brokers still rely on outdated rate sheets, generic pricing templates, or manual market checks to set quotes.

But freight doesn’t move in a straight line—and neither should your pricing.

That’s where AI Agents for dynamic freight pricing come in. They give brokers the power to respond in real-time, not after the fact.

The Problem with Static Pricing

Fuel costs fluctuate by the hour. Market demand shifts by the lane. Competitor pricing changes weekly. Yet traditional quoting methods can lag by days.

Here’s what that means for you:

  • Lost bids due to stale or overpriced quotes
  • Underpriced lanes eating into your margin
  • Manual workflows that burn your time and resources

The result? Low win rates, reduced margins, and slower growth.

How AI Agents Make Freight Pricing Smarter

AI-powered pricing agents don’t guess—they calculate. Using real-time data streams and predictive intelligence, they generate the most profitable and competitive quote possible for each shipment.

Here's what they factor in automatically:

  • Fuel Price Volatility: Live fuel index data ensures surcharges are up to date.
  • Capacity & Lane Demand: AI forecasts future rate trends by analyzing truck availability and load volume.
  • Historical Win-Loss Data: Agents learn which prices win specific shippers and adjust accordingly.
  • External Market Feeds: Pulls data from DAT, FreightWaves, and other indices to benchmark rates.
The result? Brokers quoting in seconds, not hours, with confidence—not guesswork.

Autonomous Quoting in Action

Imagine this: A shipper sends you an RFQ with 10 lanes. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and calls, your AI Agent instantly:

Parses the RFQ email or portal

Matches lanes with live market intelligence

Suggests optimized rates

Sends the quote autonomously—or sends it to a human for review

You respond before your competitors even open the email.

  • Improved Margins: No more underpricing or buffer-padding every quote
