Use it before you move, not after the fuel is gone

Compare cost and opportunity
Estimated miles and fuel cost help you decide whether the move needs a strong load to justify it.
Verify before rolling
Use the recommendation as a shortlist, then confirm real freight, rates, timing, and broker fit.
Deadhead Advisor FAQs
Common questions about reposition targets
What is a deadhead target?
A deadhead target is a nearby market worth checking when the truck needs to reposition empty. The goal is to move toward better freight, not just the closest city.
Does this show live loads?
No. Deadhead Advisor uses Freight Pilot baseline market context and optional AI-assisted explanation. Always verify live load availability before moving.
Why not always choose the closest target?
The closest market is not always the best freight market. A slightly longer move may be easier to justify if it improves reload potential.
Is this the same as the Deadhead Cost Estimator?
No. Deadhead Cost Estimator prices a specific empty move. Deadhead Advisor suggests which nearby markets may be worth checking first.
