LoadPartner
Also known as: Load Partner, loadpartner.io, Dart (LoadPartner), Track & Trace (LoadPartner), Truck Verify
AI-powered freight platform for brokers: Track & Trace automates driver check calls over AI voice, SMS, and email, Dart is a pay-as-you-go comms API from $0.03 per message, and Truck Verify does load-level fraud detection, all over an open-source extensible TMS. Founded 2023; one of the early freight-broker AI agent startups.
LoadPartner is an AI-powered freight platform for brokerages that streamlines logistics operations across three named products plus an open-source core.
Track & Trace automates outbound and inbound driver communications over AI voice, SMS, and email with preferred-freight settings, monitoring shipments and handling the constant check-call workload: in demos its agent asks a driver for ETA and trailer temperature, answers the driver's payment question, warns a broker about a temperature exception, and takes commands from a broker agent (including asking the driver for an ETA in Spanish).
Dart is a lower-level, pay-as-you-go communications layer with API access to send texts, location links, and AI voice calls without the automation or freight settings. Truck Verify provides load-level fraud detection standalone or integrated, using SMS, geolocation, and image-capture verification. Underneath sits an open-source, extensible TMS that gives brokers full ownership and control of their freight software with a plugin system for customization.
Founded in 2023-2024 by Garrett Allen and Nick Sorrell, LoadPartner is one of the early freight-broker AI agent startups alongside HappyRobot and FleetWorks, with production users like TMX Transport. Its open-source posture and transparent per-communication pricing distinguish it in a lane where most vendors are closed and contact-only.
