The part that connects the load to the truck.

Why the name

A fifth wheel is the coupling plate where a trailer locks to the truck. Nothing moves until it latches.

For a broker, that latch is a phone call. A carrier sees your post, picks up the phone and calls. If nobody answers, the truck goes to someone else’s load.

So we built Henry: an AI carrier line you put on your load posts. He answers every call, 24/7, tells the carrier he’s an AI, pitches the load, checks the MC against FMCSA, negotiates up to your ceiling and takes a callback number. The offer lands on your board with a fraud badge. You call back and book the way you always have.

That’s the whole product. One thing, done properly.
