Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI load matching work for brokerages?

Loadmii AI analyzes your load and matches it to qualified carriers based on lane history, capacity availability, rate compatibility, and performance data — reducing the time dispatchers spend on phone calls.

Can the system handle QuickPay and factoring?

Yes. DirectX Factoring OS automates QuickPay processing, factoring submission, reserve tracking, and carrier payments — integrated directly with your TMS.
