About Freight Pilot

Built for smarter freight decisions

Freight Pilot helps owner-operators, dispatchers, and carriers analyze profitability, compare opportunities, and make better operational decisions using real-world cost intelligence.

The problem we saw

Freight decisions still happen across too many disconnected tools

Load boards, broker calls, spreadsheets, calculators, map tabs, notes, and gut feel all play a part in the decision. The problem is that revenue is usually easier to see than profitability, empty miles, route fit, timing, and the position the truck lands in next.

Freight Pilot was created to bring modern software, automation, and operational intelligence into that planning moment without replacing the tools operators already use.

Why it exists

A decision layer beside your current workflow

We approached freight with fresh eyes and a focus on practical operational intelligence. Use your existing load sources; Freight Pilot helps determine what is actually worth running.

Founder

Founded by David Jurczyk

Freight Pilot was founded by David Jurczyk, a Chicago-area technology product manager and infrastructure engineer with experience building enterprise systems, automation platforms, and operational tooling at scale.

David also holds the CISSP security certification. That credential is not a trucking badge, but it reflects the seriousness Freight Pilot brings to product reliability, data handling, access control, and long-term trust.

The platform is being built closely alongside real owner-operators and dispatchers, with a focus on practical features, transparency, and continuous iteration based on user feedback.

BackgroundProduct, infrastructure, automation, and security

Freight Pilot combines product thinking with systems experience, then tests those ideas against the real work of comparing loads, costs, timing, and route tradeoffs.

Principle

Practical over buzzwords

Freight Pilot focuses on tools that make load decisions clearer: cost visibility, route context, comparisons, and plain-language planning support.

Principle

Built alongside users

The product is shaped through direct feedback from owner-operators, dispatchers, and carriers working through real freight decisions.

Principle

Transparent decision support

No inflated promises and no AI magic. Freight Pilot is a planning layer that helps make tradeoffs visible before a truck is committed.

Principle

Security-minded from the start

Freight data can be sensitive. The platform is built with a security background, careful access controls, and respect for the operational data users bring in.

Current stage

Active development with early users shaping the roadmap

Freight Pilot is early, intentionally practical, and improving quickly. We believe the best logistics software is built with operators, not just for them, so direct feedback is part of how the product gets better.
