Your loads and exceptions teach AI how freight really moves.
Moving freight is mostly handling what didn't go to plan: the missed appointment, the truck that broke down, the reroute, the claim for a damaged pallet. Each one leaves a trail across a TMS, an inbox and a phone log. Teams building operations AI rarely get to see that trail linked end to end. We take an anonymized summary of yours to several buyers at once, and you decide which license, if any, goes ahead.
Small commission on close. Nothing up front.

What buyers pay for in logistics.
Buyers value records that show a decision and what came of it more than they value finished paperwork. These are the parts of your record they look for.
Loads from tender to invoice
Quote, tender, carrier assignment, pickup and delivery events, accessorials and billing, all tied to the same load. The link between them is what makes a load history useful.
Exceptions and how they were handled
Late pickups, missed appointments, refused freight, damage and shortage claims, and the calls and emails that sorted each one out. Disruption handling is the part that's hardest to find anywhere else.
Dispatch and scheduling
Driver and equipment assignments, hours-of-service limits and the re-plans when something slips. For airlines and charter operators, crew pairings and disruption recovery play the same role.
Carrier and customer correspondence
Track-and-trace email, check calls and escalations, matched to the loads they concern. Contract rates can be removed or aggregated; the back-and-forth is what buyers want.
Warehouse and fulfillment records
Receiving, picking, inventory adjustments, cycle counts and order cutoffs for 3PLs and distribution centers, with the exceptions logged against them.
Fleet maintenance and telematics
Work orders, inspections and fault codes, paired with the trips they affected. Driver identity comes out and location detail is reduced, as set in the license.
Systems that hold it and what to watch for.
This is where the record usually lives. Where we've written a data guide for a system, its card links to it, with steps to find out how much you have.

Who buys it and what they do with it.
We describe buyers by category and don't publish their names. Each one is qualified and under NDA before seeing your summary, and when they bid you see every offer side by side, with exclusivity, term and payment next to the price.
Freight brokerage and dispatch automation
Companies building agents that quote, tender, find carriers and answer track-and-trace email. Real load histories show them what a day on a brokerage floor involves.
Exception management and visibility tools
Products that predict delays and suggest the fix. They need exceptions paired with what was actually done and whether it worked.
Fleet safety and maintenance analytics
Teams that model breakdowns, maintenance intervals and safety events. Work orders and fault codes linked to trips are the raw material.
Operations-control and disruption recovery software
Tools that re-plan crews, equipment and schedules when weather or a breakdown hits, for carriers and aviation operators alike.
AI labs building agents
Labs that want long, multi-system operations work to train and test agents on: a TMS, a shared inbox, a phone log and a spreadsheet, all touching the same shipment.
What a package looks like to a buyer.
Before anyone signs, a buyer sees a summary shaped like this one. It is built from rounded ranges: no name, no website, no people, no addresses.
The numbers in this example are made up. Yours come from your intake and the review call, and you read the summary before any buyer does.

What stays out by default.
Some records aren't yours to license, and some shouldn't leave the building. Intake and the review call bring these up early. The main ones for this industry are below.
Contract rates, lanes and customer terms
Shipper and carrier agreements often make rates and lanes confidential. They stay out or are aggregated unless your contracts allow more. The operational record around them usually doesn't depend on them.
Driver and crew personnel files
HR, payroll, medical certificates and background checks are excluded by default. Individual drug and alcohol test results can't be released without the employee's specific written consent under 49 CFR 40.321, so they never come into scope.
Precise location traces
GPS breadcrumbs tied to a vehicle or driver show where a person was. We suggest coarsening them or leaving them out, and you decide in the license. Bulk precise location data also falls under the Justice Department's rule limiting access by countries of concern (28 CFR Part 202).
Passenger, consignee and controlled shipment details
Names, addresses and phone numbers of passengers and consignees are removed before delivery under the license. Records of shipments controlled under export rules (ITAR, 22 CFR Parts 120–130, and the EAR, 15 CFR Parts 730–774) are excluded.
This is not legal advice. Whether a record can be licensed depends on your contracts, your software terms and how it was collected, and your counsel should review any license before you sign. The rules named on this page are linked under Sources.

It can be. Tendering, carrier sourcing, tracking and exception handling are the core of what these buyers look for, and a brokerage has all of it. Asset-based carriers add maintenance and telematics, which some buyers want and others don't need.
HR and medical files stay out, and so do drug and alcohol testing records, which 49 CFR 40.321 bars from release without the employee's written consent. Hours-of-service logs and telematics are tied to people, so names come out before delivery and location detail is reduced or dropped. We keep employee data narrow from the start. This is not legal advice.
Usually not. Rates and lanes can be removed or aggregated, and what buyers want is how a load was planned, what went wrong and how it was fixed. Intake asks whether your contracts allow licensing and whether you hold data on behalf of customers, and the license is scoped around the answers.
Sometimes. Software terms can limit exports, claim rights in data the service generates or make parts of the system confidential. We read your vendors' terms during review and leave out whatever you can't relicense. This is not legal advice.
Yes. Dispatch, crew scheduling, maintenance tracking and disruption handling at airlines, charter operators and maintenance shops fit here. Passenger records, loyalty data and crew medical files stay out.
We are paid a small commission out of a deal that closes. If nothing closes, you owe nothing. You keep ownership of your records and keep using them.
