Warning: I fed 8 months of truck logs into an AI dispatcher, and it underbid 3 loads in one day
I drive a rig out of Fort Worth for a small fleet and dispatch used to take me two hours each morning. So I built a simple script that reads my email rate sheets and spits out a suggested price per load. Last Tuesday it priced a run to Laredo at $1,400 when the going rate was $2,300, and my boss nearly took it before I caught the mistake. If you're thinking of handing pricing to a bot, watch it for at least two weeks first, because it has no idea when a load is hot. Anyone else seen automation lowball your numbers like this?
