Freight Pilot

Know before you roll

Freight Pilot helps owner-operators, dispatchers, and carriers turn authorized loads from the tools they already use into clearer profit decisions, then carry booked freight into Operations for dispatch status, receivables, and actual results.

Core workflow modules

Plan the load, then run the freight

Fleet & Costs, Decision Intelligence, Operations, and Network work together without making you rebuild your business setup in each module.

Start with the task in front of you

One platform, different freight jobs

Set up assets, plan freight, track booked work, or get listed in the Network Directory.

What it is

A planning layer beside the tools you already use

Freight Pilot does not replace your sourcing tools or become a full TMS. It helps interpret the loads already in front of you, rank options by operating tradeoffs, and keep the accepted work from disappearing into a spreadsheet.

True profit context

Compare revenue against fuel, tolls, empty miles, timing, and operating assumptions.

Route-chain clarity

See when a multi-load option is actually efficient, and when a single load is the smarter call.

Plain-English confidence

Review why an option ranked well before you commit truck time to it.

Operations memory

Track what happened after booking: status, documents, payment follow-up, actual results, broker notes, and signal quality.

Document context

Keep rate cons, BOL/POD, receipts, photos, and fleet documents attached to the work they support.

How to use it

Trust and data use

Your data should support better decisions, not create new risk

Freight Pilot is decision support. Imported loads help your account plan better and may contribute to anonymized, aggregated freight intelligence. We do not show another user's exact loads, brokers, private rates, or account activity.

Questions

Practical answers before you start planning

Freight Pilot is built to support your existing workflow, not force you into a new one.

What is Freight Pilot?

Freight Pilot is a freight decision and operations workspace. You bring authorized loads from your existing workflow, then Freight Pilot helps decide what is worth running and track what happens after a load is booked.

Does Freight Pilot replace my load board?

No. Freight Pilot is not a load board and does not provide board access or extraction. It helps interpret loads you already have the right to use.

Who is it built for?

It is built for owner-operators, dispatchers, and carriers who need fast, practical load decisions without digging through a complicated system.

What does Operations do?

Operations is where active or booked loads live after the decision. It helps track lifecycle status, truck and driver assignment, documents, invoice/payment follow-up, actual revenue and costs, notes, and simple operating insights.

Can I store rate confirmations, BOLs, PODs, and receipts?

Yes. Freight Pilot lets signed-in users attach common PDFs and images to Operations loads and Fleet & Costs records. Files are scanned before preview or download, and supported PDFs/images can open inside Freight Pilot.

Do I have to plan a load before tracking it?

No. You can move a selected Decision Intelligence option into Operations, or import active/booked loads directly into Operations when you already know what is running.

How do I bring loads into Freight Pilot?

Use the global Add loads flow from the workspace. You can paste authorized details or upload a PDF, screenshot, spreadsheet, or CSV, then choose whether those loads go to planning or Operations.

Can Freight Pilot read screenshots or PDFs?

Yes. Starter and Pro users can import common freight files and screenshots, then review and correct the extracted load details before saving.

How does Freight Pilot use imported load data?

Imported loads support your planning workflow and may contribute to anonymized, aggregated freight intelligence. Freight Pilot does not show another user's exact loads, brokers, private rates, or account activity.

What is the Freight Pilot Network?

The Network Directory is a reviewed listing of freight companies. Public visitors see limited company details, while signed-in users can see more contact and fit information. If you want to be discoverable, submit your own listing request from the Network page.

What costs are included?

Freight Pilot can factor in fuel, toll estimates, empty miles, timing, wait time, and lane quality where data is available. Final dispatch decisions should still use your operating judgment.

Can I use it with one truck?

Yes. The workflow is designed to be useful for a single truck, while still supporting carriers as they add more trucks and load history.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. We offer a 20% discount for active or retired military and first responders. Contact support to verify eligibility and apply the discount. support@freightpilotapp.com

Is the route preview turn-by-turn navigation?

No. Route preview is a planning visual. Actual truck routing, restrictions, traffic, tolls, and dispatch decisions should be verified before you roll.
