FleetWorks, SONAR Integrate Live Rates Into AI Agents Handling 30,000 Daily Loads

1 articles · Updated · FreightWaves · Aug 10

Summary

  • The integration is live now across FleetWorks’ phone, email and SMS agents, giving brokers and carriers SONAR’s TRAC spot rates and coverage scores during live freight negotiations.
  • SONAR’s lane-level data lets the agents work toward a bookable price within broker-set guardrails, then escalate out-of-market loads to human staff with the relevant market context attached.
  • FleetWorks said the move targets a common brokerage bottleneck: reps and automated tools often negotiate in one system while current market data sits in another, slowing quotes and load coverage.
  • The platform currently handles more than 30,000 daily loads across 40-plus brokerages and connects with more than 29,000 carrier MCs, giving the partnership immediate scale in freight booking workflows.
  • Activation is automatic for brokers that use both products and for carriers on FleetWorks, extending a broader push to embed high-frequency market intelligence directly into freight automation.
