Founded 3 years ago, aifleet is a start-up that operates a bit differently. They created a technology to help plan driver routes to optimize for more miles and higher revenue. It means drivers run hard (but they have stacked loads, less dwell time,) and get to do what they do best, drive. They only use it in-house (it uses AI hence aifleet,) and it reviews 500K daily loads to find the optimal weekly route for a driver based on rates, home time etc. It makes the job easier for the dispatcher – they have the best loads, then they follow up and book and spend more time on relationship with driver.
