A Ranked List of Qualified Carriers for Every Open Load

EKA LOA AI will bring digital freight matching to broker capacity planning. It will match open loads to qualified carriers, weighing lane history, equipment and compliance, so your reps start every load from a ranked list.

The Carrier List Got Shorter and the Search Got Longer

Brokers have tightened the carrier lists they will tender to, and each rep still finds coverage by working the phone and the load boards. The carriers who ran a lane well last month live in someone’s memory or in a history nobody searches, and a carrier that fell out of compliance can still get a call.

Coverage That Starts From Carriers You Would Actually Tender To

LOA AI will read each open load against the carriers that currently qualify, their history on the lane and their equipment, and rank the best matches for the rep. Carriers that fail your compliance checks will be excluded before they reach the list, and the rep will still make the call.

The approved carrier list is the product a brokerage sells. LOA AI will put that list to work on every load.

How It Will Work

01

Qualified Pool

Will match only against carriers that pass your requirements at the time of the match.

02

Lane Fit

Will weigh each carrier’s history on the lane and its equipment.

03

Ranked Matches

Will give the rep a ranked list for every open load.

04

Capacity Planning

Will show where coverage is thin before the freight arrives.

Matching Inside the Record That Vets the Carrier

LOA AI will run on the same platform as EKA’s risk and compliance guardrails, so a carrier’s current authority, insurance and safety status will shape the match on every load. After Montgomery v. Caribe, a carrier selection is also a record of the care you took making it.

Why We Built It This Way

Built in the Right Order

EKA built the infrastructure first and the optimizers second, so nothing gets ripped out when the next agent ships.

One Record, Three Seats

The same infrastructure serves carriers, brokers and shippers, because the load crosses all three and the handoff is where freight breaks.

Earned, Not Read About

The team spent decades operating freight across trucking, brokerage, freight payment, risk and insurance, which is why the agents handle the 40% of edge cases that break other AI.

Live in 2 to 8 Weeks

EKA goes live in 2 to 8 weeks against a legacy implementation of three to six months, and new agents ship on 8-week cycles.

You Do Not Have to Replace Your TMS

EKA is headless and API-first. Starting in Q1 2027, LOA AI will deliver its work into the system you already run. EKA goes live in 2 to 8 weeks, on the records you already have.

Carriers and private fleets

Brokers and 3PLs
