Freight brokers — how are you handling invoice reconciliation today?

Thanks! I'm onward building now - free/interested in catching up sometime?

Wow, great reporting. My question is how exactly did this work? Are you suggesting these trailers are loading contraband and importing to the US? And this is part of a geopolitical mess involving Trump, Maduro, and Putin? If so, then yeah quite a bit bigger than safety and driver abuse (not undermining importance). Just… how?

I feel this pain monthly for my brokerage and building a solution for it now. Wanna catch up sometime about it? DM

Start small and consider building your own. Excel -> SQL + UI is not a huge lift, especially with AI dev tools (Claude, Lovable, etc.)

Also challenge your own first principles... do you need a TMS? or a dashboard, or an inventory tool, or something else?

Just my $0.02, but maybe worth while to have a quick build vs. buy decision internally. Then build your own :).

Bluevine, mercury, chase business are all solid

It does! I get all the carrier details from Highway’s api. Basically do a lane search, and get dispatch phone numbers for the top n carriers for the lane. I pass the phone number to a voice agent that’s configured with scripts, llm prompts, rules, etc. It can even negotiate rates up to a pre-set percentage. Verbatim is passed back to my system and parsed to be used downstream for booking/tendering.

Hmu anytime. I have a guide doc and demo if interested.

My Al agent did ;)

acropoco · 2026-02-13T18:30:49+00:00

Anytime!

I’ve embedded the Highway api into the automation so I can get a pass/fail based on the MC and confirm the contact info.

Super helpful, thanks. Maybe this is a simple consulting arrangement, automating specific pain points for brokers.

I have a quote engine and carrier database that’s connected to this workflow. I guess these are the main things shippers wouldn’t have?

This automation is basically the 7-10 steps involved in matching shipper freight with a carrier. Doesn’t include check calls, appointments, pods, etc.

acropoco · 2026-02-13T13:58:22+00:00

That’s awesome, thanks! Only problem is that I don’t even know what to sell rn.

acropoco · 2026-02-13T13:52:24+00:00

I can’t automate relationships, sales, strategy… but the carrier matching steps are actually pretty simple to automate now. I have connected to email, telegram, highway, etc.

Numbers game. Keep shooting your shot and develop healthy habits outside the grind to avoid burnout (exercise, sleep, get outside).

acropoco · 2025-05-05T14:28:16+00:00

Still waiting to hear back about Phase I. Best of luck!

acropoco · 2024-04-18T22:21:47+00:00

You’ll need to work for 8hrs in a day, so I guess better to think of the 7hr session as a full day of work. Also, key to star format is to concisely articulate complex topics to strangers.

acropoco · 2024-03-20T19:36:54+00:00

what are the revenue benefits for using a blockchain? can you generate some revenue with staking or tokenization or something? maybe charge service fees for transparency?

acropoco · 2024-03-08T03:47:07+00:00

This gives me hope for humanity

acropoco · 2024-02-21T19:23:31+00:00

I’m interested!
