Standardize assumptions
Use saved truck profiles so MPG, equipment, speed, and home-base assumptions do not change from person to person.
Freight Pilot for carriers
Give your operation a repeatable way to judge loads.
Carriers need more than gut feel, but not every operation needs heavyweight enterprise software. Freight Pilot helps standardize load decisions across trucks and users.
Common issue
As the operation grows, load decisions get trapped in different spreadsheets, texts, and habits.
Freight Pilot gives carriers a shared planning layer for truck assumptions, saved runs, lane context, and decision history without forcing a heavy system rollout.
Review decisions later
Saved runs make it easier to revisit what was compared and why a route was selected.
Build lane memory
Use lane observations and network signals as supporting evidence as your history grows.
Workflow
How this fits into the workday
Set truck profiles
Keep operating assumptions consistent across the fleet.
Compare route options
Evaluate current loads with a shared decision process.
Save what matters
Keep the route decisions, favorites, and lane context your team may need again.
Start practical
Check one decision, then compare the full list

Questions
What to know before you use Freight Pilot
Is this for carriers with more than one truck?
Yes. Freight Pilot works for one truck, but carriers with multiple trucks get extra value from consistent truck profiles, saved decisions, and shared planning context.
Does Freight Pilot act like a TMS?
No. It is not meant to replace dispatch, accounting, or a full TMS. It focuses on the load-decision layer before a truck is committed.
What should a carrier try first?
Start with a sample workflow or one truck profile. The value is easiest to see when you compare a handful of real load options side by side.
