## How It Works

Each TruckFlow.ai account gets its own intake email address. Forward a broker's rate confirmation to it, or upload the rate con PDF in the app. The AI reads it and builds the load: pickup and delivery stops, dates, commodity, weight and rate. It also drafts the invoice from the rate. New loads land in an approval queue so the dispatcher reviews them before they're booked.

### Key Capabilities

- **Rate Con Intake**: Forward a rate confirmation by email or upload the PDF; the load is built for you, usually in about a minute
- **Approval Queue**: Every load from a rate con waits for the dispatcher to review or approve before it's booked
- **Invoice Drafts**: The invoice is drafted from the rate on the rate confirmation
- **ELD Connection**: Connect Motive or Samsara with an API key; trucks and drivers import automatically, with read-only location and hours-of-service sync
- **Suggested Drivers**: When assigning a load, the dispatcher sees suggested drivers
- **Documents**: BOLs, rate confirmations and invoices generated from the load record and emailed from the app
- **AI Dispatch Assistant**: Ask questions and get help with dispatch in the in-app chat
- **FMCSA Lookup at Signup**: Enter your USDOT number and company details fill in

### Target Market

- Small trucking fleets: owner-operators to small carriers
- Carriers currently dispatching via phone calls, personal texts, or spreadsheets
- Fleets that have tried enterprise TMS software and found it too complex or expensive
