AI Calls

Your AI dispatcher works the phones while you drive

AI Calls contacts brokers about the loads you select — checking availability, negotiating the rate, handling callbacks and texts, and booking agreed loads where your permissions allow.

How it works

You pick the loads. It does the dialing.

The part of finding freight that costs you a morning is the phone work. That is the part your AI dispatcher takes.

01

Pick loads

Choose one load off the board or a whole shortlist. You select the loads; your AI dispatcher does the dialing.

02

It calls the brokers

Your AI dispatcher works the list for you, calling up to five brokers at once on a standard account and ten on premium. It checks the load is still available, asks what you would ask, negotiates the rate, and sits through phone trees and hold music so you don't.

03

Review offers and book

Offers, transcripts and outcomes come back attached to the load. Take the number, counter it, or let your AI dispatcher book the agreed load where your permissions allow.

Hand over the shortlist, not your morning

You dial one broker, wait through the menu, hold, get a no — then start again, nineteen more times. Your AI dispatcher works the same list for you, calling up to five brokers at once ( ten on premium), and none of those calls is yours to sit through.

Every call comes back with a real outcome attached to the load — an offer, a counter, a decision you need to make, or nothing at all. The ones nobody answered cost you nothing.

What it handles

More than an outbound call

The job does not end when the broker hangs up. Callbacks, texts, check calls and paperwork are where a load is actually won or lost.

Negotiates rates

It can discuss an offer and counter it inside the rules you set — not just read a script.

Navigates phone trees

Works the IVR through to carrier sales and holds in the queue for as long as it takes.

Handles broker callbacks

The context survives the outbound call. When the broker rings back, the negotiation picks up where it stopped.

Answers broker SMS

Texts stay tied to the same load and the same negotiation instead of starting a new thread.

Handles check calls

Status, delivery, detention and missing paperwork — made and taken for you while you keep rolling.

Keeps everything under the load

Transcript, outcome, offer and follow-up all stay attached to the load they belong to.

Books agreed loads

Where your account permissions and the load's business rules allow it. Where they don't, it hands you the agreed terms.

You vs AI Calls

Twenty brokers, two ways

Same shortlist, same lanes. The difference is what it costs you to work through it.

A shortlist of 20 brokers

You

About two hours of dialing, holding and redialing — all of it yours

Your AI dispatcher

All twenty get called and you dial none of them — the list is worked while you drive

Dialing

You

One broker at a time — and you have to be the one holding the phone

Your AI dispatcher

Up to five brokers at once (ten on premium) — and you dial nobody and hold for nobody

Your dedicated AI number

One number brokers can call back

After your first add-funds, we assign a dedicated local number to your AI dispatcher — used for broker calls, callbacks and texts. Not a different caller ID every time, and not a shared switchboard.

  • Brokers call you back on it

    One consistent number, not a different caller ID every time.

  • They can text it too

    Dock changes, check calls and status questions stay in the same load context.

  • It works while you drive

    Routine broker questions get handled without you pulling over.

  • It can finish the job

    If a broker calls back with a rate you'd take, your AI dispatcher can confirm and book — subject to your permissions and the load's rules.

How a callback plays out

  1. Step 1

    Your AI dispatcher calls the broker about the load you selected.

  2. Step 2

    The offer comes back and is saved onto the load.

  3. Two hours later

    The broker calls your dedicated number back.

  4. Same conversation

    Your AI dispatcher recognises the load and the rate, and carries on negotiating.

An AI Call, end to end

What comes back to the load

Not a call log. A finished piece of work — the offer, what was agreed, and what the broker still owes you.

No subscription for the calling, no percentage of your gross. You are charged per conversation your AI dispatcher actually has.

You only pay when we reach a broker.

A broker who doesn’t pick up costs you nothing. No answer, busy and voicemail are free every time — you are paying for conversations, not for dialing.

FAQ

Questions carriers ask

What it actually does

What does my AI dispatcher ask a broker?

The same things you would in the first two minutes: is the load still available, what are the pickup and delivery appointments, what is the commodity and weight, what equipment does it need, and what does it pay. The answers come back written onto the load.

Can it negotiate rates?

Yes. It can discuss an offer and counter it inside the rules you set. When the broker's number needs a human call, the outcome comes back marked “Needs your decision” rather than guessed at.

Can it book a load?

It can book agreed loads where your account permissions and the load's business rules allow it. Where they don't, it brings you the agreed terms and the booking is one tap.

Can I call several brokers at once?

Yes. You can hand over as many as you like, and up to five of those calls run at the same time on a standard account, ten on premium — the rest follow as each one finishes. Select a shortlist and your AI dispatcher works through it: each broker called, the load checked, the rate negotiated, and the outcome written onto the load. How long the whole shortlist takes depends on how many brokers pick up and how long they talk, so we don't put a clock on it.

Can it handle check calls after booking?

Yes. Status, delivery, detention and rate-con resends can be made and taken for you, and each one is written back onto the load.

What happens if it needs my decision?

The call comes back marked “Needs your decision”, with what the broker said, what was agreed and what is still missing — so you restart from where it stopped instead of from the beginning.

Does it replace my dispatcher?

No, and it is not sold as that. It takes the part of the job that is dialing, holding, chasing callbacks and answering the same twenty questions. Judgment, relationships and the calls that need a person stay with you — every offer comes back for your decision unless you have allowed it to book.

Your dedicated number

How does my dedicated AI number work?

After your first add-funds we assign a dedicated local number to your AI dispatcher, used for broker calls, callbacks and texts. The number stays assigned to your AI dispatcher while the service remains active, subject to the applicable number-retention policy.

What happens when a broker calls back?

Your dedicated number rings your AI dispatcher, not a shared switchboard. It recognises which load and which rate the broker is calling about and continues the same negotiation — even hours later.

Can brokers text that number?

Yes. Texts land inside the same negotiation, so the call and the messages sit together under the load rather than in two places.

Does it know my MC, equipment and payload?

Yes, once Dispatcher setup is filled in inside the Doft app. Brokers ask those questions in the first thirty seconds, and the answers come from your setup rather than from a guess.

Where do I see transcripts and offers?

Under the load itself, and in Recent AI Calls in Settings → AI Calls. Every call keeps its outcome, the offer, the transcript and any follow-up.

Pricing

What does the $1.29 include?

$1.29 covers one answered conversation with a broker, including up to 5 min of talk time.

What happens after the first 5 min?

$0.20/min after the included 5 min — and the charge for a single answered outbound conversation never goes past $2.29, however long the broker keeps talking.

Is there a maximum charge?

Yes. $2.29 is the ceiling for one answered outbound conversation.

What happens if nobody answers?

Nothing is charged. No answer, busy and voicemail are free — you only pay when we reach a broker.

Do I pay for voicemail?

No. Your AI dispatcher can leave a message with your callback number and the call is still free.

What does a broker callback cost?

Nothing. When a broker rings your dedicated number back and your AI dispatcher takes the call, that inbound call is not charged. You pay for the calls your AI dispatcher places — so if it rings a broker back instead of answering, that is an ordinary AI Call at the usual rate.

How does this compare with a dispatch service?

Independent dispatch services are typically priced as a percentage of your gross or as a weekly flat fee, so the bill follows the loads you book whether or not the phone work was the hard part. Your AI dispatcher is not priced that way: you pay per answered conversation and nothing at all when a broker doesn't pick up. It also does a narrower job — the calling, not the whole desk — so treat it as the cost of the phone work rather than a like-for-like replacement for a dispatcher.
