Coming soonTurn your carrier desk into a margin engine.
LaneScout is AI-powered negotiation coaching built specifically for US trucking brokers. It connects to your phone system, analyzes every carrier call, and turns those calls into a structured coaching program for your carrier sales team.
The problem
Your carrier desk is leaving money on the table.
Every day, your CSRs call carriers to cover posted loads. And every day, most of them do the same thing: they come in with a number, the carrier pushes back, and they split the difference. It feels like negotiating. It isn't.
For a mid-size freight broker, the gap between what your CSRs pay carriers and benchmark market rates can exceed $200,000 per month. That's not revenue — that's margin walking out the door on every load.
The root cause isn't effort. Your CSRs are working hard. The problem is skill: negotiation is a craft, and most CSRs were never trained for it. So they default to the path of least resistance — meet in the middle and move on.
How it works
LaneScout doesn't replace your CSRs. It makes them better, one skill at a time.
Connects to your phone system
LaneScout integrates with your existing call recording infrastructure. No new hardware, no workflow changes. Every carrier call is captured and analyzed automatically.
AI analyzes every call
The AI listens for negotiation behavior — how your CSRs open, how they anchor, how they respond to pushback, and whether they're caving before they need to. Every call gets scored.
One skill per week
Instead of overwhelming CSRs with everything they're doing wrong, LaneScout works with managers to pick a single high-impact skill to focus on. Focused improvement beats scattered feedback.
Real-time nudges after every call
After each call, the CSR gets a short, specific nudge on how they performed against that week's target skill. Immediate feedback creates faster learning loops.
Scoring and manager visibility
Managers get an overall negotiation score per rep, trend data over time, and team-wide visibility into where the coaching is — and isn't — working.
Most sales coaching fails because it tries to change too many things at once. LaneScout runs on a single behavioral principle: one skill, practiced repeatedly, with immediate feedback, creates lasting change. And because the feedback is automated, it works whether you have 5 CSRs or 50.

The business case
If your carrier desk covers 500 loads per day at an average load value of $2,000, a 1% improvement in carrier cost negotiation is $10,000 per day — roughly $3.6M per year.
Beyond the margin, LaneScout lowers the cost of turnover. When a CSR leaves, their negotiation instincts leave with them. LaneScout turns that instinct into a documented, repeatable coaching system — so new reps ramp faster and the knowledge stays in the building.
Every call is a chance to protect your margin — or give it away.
LaneScout makes sure your CSRs know the difference. We're onboarding design partners now.
